You can practice this technique at any time. Wherever you are, sit erect with your spine straight, and deeply relax.
Close your eyes (or fix their gaze, eyes half closed, at the point between the eyebrows).
Now, with deep calmness, mentally watch your breath, without controlling it, as it enters and exits the body.
As the breath enters, move the index finger of your right hand inward, toward the thumb, and mentally (without moving your tongue or lips) chant “Hong.”
As the breath exits, straighten the index finger, and mentally chant “Sau” (pronounced “saw”).
The purpose for moving the index finger is to become more effective in your concentration, and to differentiate the inhalation from the exhalation.
Do not in any way control the breath mentally. Assume, rather, the calm attitude of a silent observer, watching the breath’s natural flow as it enters and exits the body.
Practice this technique with great reverence and attention for at least ten minutes (to begin with). The longer your practice, the better.
It will give you a deep sense of inner calmness, and will bring you at last to the realization that you are not the body, but the soul—superior to and independent of this material body.
Life goes on never forget to meditate
