<p>In the vipassana practice, my teacher asks me to give a detailed report of one of my breathing rise and falling. I've tried but he tells me that the report is too general, that I need to provide more details. Can someone give me an example of a detailed report? Here it is mine. Some feedback?</p>

<p>Rise:
1- the belly starts to rise slowly, with ease
2- then it speeds up and takes in a lot of air
3- I feel a resistance, belly is close to the maximum volume, but the breathing goes on and it even hurts a bit. It slows down and stops.</p>

<p>Falling:
1- breath out very fast from the beginning. I feel a relieve on the belly.
2- continue to breath out fast
3- I feel there is not much air left and I feel a resistance on the belly, pain again, until it slows down and stops.</p>

Hihihi, I am not trying to cheat. I am trying to see what could I focus on. For instance, the teacher asked me if I feel great or cold, but that's not the case. What else can I focus on?

Ask that teacher if you don't understand the questions, tell him the truth about your confusion. Vipassana is about truth. Dealing with frustration about the teacher is a part of the learning; face that truth as well, don't escape to forums. Be offline, focus on meditation, that alone is the training.

Your master telling you that your meditation not progress. And when I consider your detail I think I know what is the cause makes your meditation not progress. It is because of wrong meditation's procedure.

In tipitaka and commentary, vipassanā-meditation never has special activity like that. Vipassanā-meditation analyses everything as 5 aggregates, etc, then it focuses on these 5 aggregates' 3 characteristics.

So, what you trying to do is not vipassanā-meditation in tipitaka and commentary. It looks like ānāpānassati-samatha-meditation, but you looks confusing it's procedure. Therefore, I advise you to read [ānāpānassati-samatha-meditation, here](https://unmixedtheravada.blogspot.com/search/label/%C4%80n%C4%81p%C4%81nassati).

The other advising, you should not focus on belly, you should focus only on your breath at the tip of nose.
