Sample Book Insights:

#1 The first stage of directed attention is achieved when we can place our mind on our chosen object of meditation for even a second or two. When we try to direct our attention to a difficult object, such as a complex visualization, this may take days or weeks to accomplish.

#2 The practice of mindfulness of breathing involves prolonging our awareness of our breath. While this requires an alert mind, it should not be tense. When we become distracted from the meditation object, it may feel natural to clamp down more forcefully, tightly concentrating the mind.

#3 The posture of vigilance is a technique that helps you breathe into your belly when you inhale, and pushes your chest out when you exhale. It is a mental line that runs from between your heels to your navel, and from your navel to your chin.

#4 During meditation, maintain the three qualities of your body: be at ease, be still, and be vigilant. Observe your respiration, and do not impose any rhythm on it. Do not even prefer one kind of breath over another.
