i've just tryed to do my first meditiation, but i can only say

that it was far from a success, i know that i shouldnt try to push myself as

it was only my first meditaion. i couldnt breath....i was wondering if

anyone could give me advice on how to breath, whether you breath

through your nose or mouth, and how many seconds you do between

breaths. i have a cushion and a meditaion CD thats got lovely music on it,

and i cant deside on whether you should have your eyes open or not.

please help as this is something i really want to do.


it also says in the book that reliseing this is a good first step as this is the

nature of the "monkey mind"

Thanks, i've actually done a second meditaiton today and i was pleased as i felt as if i did it properly this time. my breathing was still a bit off at times but i managed to control it fine.

I just wrote out some basic Zen meditation ... you can find it here

-> http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=393016200#393016200

That's very basic, and no substitute for a teacher, but it's accurate to my practice.
