Jul 14, 2017 at 10:49 comment added Michel Thank you for such an informative advice.Now it's time for me to find a point where both inhaling and exhaling breath touches! 👍
Jul 14, 2017 at 10:29 comment added Dhamma Dhatu @Michel You must find the place that is most sensitive to you. The place can be in the upper nostril; or along the whole inside front of the nose; or on the upper lip. What is important is to know when the breath strikes the nose when breathing in; and when the breath strikes the nostril or lip when breathing out. The mind remains at one point, noting the striking of the in & out breathes against the skin of the inner nostril.
Jul 14, 2017 at 10:26 comment added Dhamma Dhatu A quote: "Generally, we use the furthest point in the nose where the breath makes contact, which is usually at the tip. That point is the easiest and most simple to guard, unless you have a hooked nose that comes down low and a high upper lip. Then you might feel the breath’s touch just above the upper lip. For each of us the point will be in a different place, depending on the shape and structure of each nose and lip". dhammatalks.net/Books3/…
