Concentration on the physical sensations of breathing is called Vipassana meditation. These sensations may be outer, such as the feeling of breath against one’s upper lip, or inner, such as the awareness of breath flowing into the upper, middle, and lower lung area. It may also incorporate the awareness of breath flowing to particular regions of the body known as chakras.

This form of meditation encourages the practitioner to focus on the fact of the breath. This Meditation allows you sitting in the same spot and this might help increase your ability to concentrate. Your body will start to associate this area with meditation, and nothing else.

The goal is to be comfortable in your body while allowing your attention to be focused completely on the object of concentration.

Concentration meditation is typically practiced either sitting or standing, but may be practiced lying down if necessary. Enjoying the practice of concentration is a pleasure, but not a goal. Allow your feelings to arise as they will. Notice them, and let them go.

While doing concentration meditation using an object remember, it is the training of the mind, not the object, that is the goal of concentration meditation. You may memorize the word or phrase, or you may keep the pages of your text open before you, reading them again as needed. The words of the text may become abstract, losing their former meaning. This is fine. The words themselves are not important. They are just a pathway towards the meditative practice.
