Anapanasati: Mindful Breathing Concentration Point I have been practicing mindfulness of breathing for some time. But I am having doubt regarding my practice. When I focus on a single point on nostril and keep attention there, and note natural breathing. It breaks attention. It seems like there are two objects to concentrate. feel on nostril or breathing? 

What am I doing wrong? 


  "He breathes in experiencing the whole body, he breathes out
  experiencing the whole body": that is, with well-placed mindfulness,
  he sees the beginning, the middle and the end of the two phases, the
  in-breath and the out-breath. As he practices watching the in-breath
  and the out breath with mindfulness, he calms down and tranquilizes
  the two functions of in breathing and out-breathing.


Meditation on Breathing
You can feel anyone of them, but you have to use one of them for whole your meditation.  I prefer breath. First you have to notice that you are inhaling when inhale and you have to notice that you are exhaling when you exhale.  When you do that you may feel lot of things: pain in legs, scratches, mosquito bite like feelings.  Just ignore them at once and make sure before you start meditation you are in a position that will be less trouble some for you. 

Make sure you keep your righthand on the lefthand and keep them on the lap after sitting down the proper way.  Don't get too comfortable with a cushion or too uncomfortable with hard floors. 

Now concentrate on your breathing, focusing your thoughts only on the breaths.  Then you will feel the larger breaths will slowly give way to short lighter breaths. But continue to concentrate on your breathing. Don't loose your attention. Then you will feel so comfortable with your mind because your mind is entering a state of concentration. But don't pay attention to the comfort because it will also break your concentration.
