How do i Focusing on the breath and letting thought go Now this may sound silly but I'm new to mediating and I hear that when you have a thought you just let it go. But if I'm focusing on the breath do I go off it, accept that I'm thinking then go back to the breath or just stay on the breath and if I get distracted go right back to it and not even focus on my thoughts?
You should stay with the breath as much as you can. Therefore, if a thought arises &amp; it will just float away, then let the thought float away; like it is a passing visitor. 

You only have to 'let go' of something after you have 'picked it up'. Therefore, if you have not picked up (attached to) the thought, you do not need to let it go. Instead, just stay with the breathing &amp; let the thought float by &amp; away. 

This method develops both samatha (calmness) &amp; vipassana (insight).
