Most people only breathe into the top part of our lungs, this results in us only getting a fraction of the amount of oxygen that we could otherwise. But, by breathing through your nose, you will breathe deeper into your lungs and your belly will move as you breathe in. This draws the air deep into your lungs, fully expanding your chest and allowing you to get all the oxygen out of the air. This will also give you a rush of oxygen into the blood. Many of us could do with this and it tends to relax and calm you.

It seems ridiculous I know, but there really is an art to breathing properly and it?s not one that is taught to most of us. Even though it is obviously essential, breathing too often fades into the background. There?s always going to be lots of other more pressing issues demanding our attention unless we focus on our breathing.

So what is the point of getting your breathing right? Apart from the health benefits, it?s essential to learn breathing meditation! So, what?s the next step?

Well, take a few breaths through your nose, feeling them go deep into your lungs and your stomach move out, while your shoulders stay relaxed and down. Now, just close your eyes and keep breathing, drawing the breath deeper and deeper into your lungs. Simply repeat this process with every breath you take for about five minutes.

Is It Really This Simple?

Most people won’t get to a really deep state of meditation by using this method, but you will benefit from it. You will find that you’re calmer and more centred. Your mind will become clearer and less ?cluttered?.

Try to do this every day (I?m sure that no matter how busy you are, you?ll be able to find 5 minutes a day) It helps to get into a habit of doing this at a certain time each day, say after you have lunch or just before bed. This helps to cement it as a good habit so you don?t have to think about it. You just do it.

Some people think that this isn’t ‘real’ meditation, but how do you define meditation? You?ll be developing a great habit, bringing your awareness into the present and getting a little bit of space to relax and get in touch with yourself.

Sure there?s heaps of other techniques that are a bit more involved. But even doing this process for 20 minutes rather than five will give you heaps more benefits. That said, if you start with a quick five minute breathing meditation, you could get a taste of what more in depth meditation is like and get some instant benefits too.

So I hope you can see that you can learn breathing meditation in 5 minutes if you want to. Experience the benefits of meditation for yourself. Get more out of every day in just a few minutes.

The first thing I would like to tell you is: don’t seek it anywhere else. Don’t seek it in scriptures, don’t seek it in clever explanations – they all explain away, they do not explain. They simply stuff your empty mind, they don’t make you aware of what is. And the more the mind is stuffed with dead knowledge, the more dull and stupid you become. Knowledge makes people stupid; it dulls their sensitivity. It stuffs them, it becomes a weight on them, it strengthens their ego but it does not give light and it does not show them the way. It is not possible.

Life is already there bubbling within you. It can be contacted only there. The temple is not outside, you are the shrine of it. So the first thing to remember if you want to know what life is, is: never seek it without, never try to find out from somebody else. The meaning cannot be transferred that way. The greatest masters have never said anything about life – they have always thrown you back upon yourself.

The second thing to remember is: once you know what life is you will know what death is because death is also part of the same process. Ordinarily we think death comes at the end, ordinarily we think death is against life, ordinarily we think death is the enemy. Death is not the enemy. And if you think of death as the enemy it simply shows that you have not been able to know what life is.

Death and life are two polarities of the same energy, of the same phenomenon – the tide and the ebb, the day and the night, the summer and the winter. They are not separate and not opposites, not contraries; they are complementaries. Death is not the end of life; in fact, it is a completion of one life, the crescendo of one life, the climax, the finale. And once you know your life and its process, then you understand what death is.

Death is an organic, integral part of life, and it is very friendly to life. Without it life cannot exist. Life exists because of death; death gives the background. Death is, in fact, a process of renewal. And death also happens each moment, as life happens, because the renewal is needed each moment. The moment you breathe in and the moment you breathe out, both happen. Breathing in, life happens; breathing out, death happens. That’s why when a child is born the first thing he does is breathe in, then life starts. And when an old man is dying, the last thing he does is breathe out, then life departs. Breathing out is death, breathing in is life – and both are like two wheels of a bullock cart. You live by breathing in as much as you live by breathing out. The breathing out is part of breathing in. You cannot breathe in if you stop breathing out. You cannot live if you stop dying. The man who has understood what his life is allows death to happen; he welcomes it. He dies each moment and each moment he is resurrected. His cross and his resurrection are continuously happening as a process. He dies to the past each moment and he is born again and again into the future.
