Keyword_search: breath, abdomen, awareness, body Question_content: Questioner: You mentioned not to try to direct the breath. Larry: Yes. Questioner: But it just seems naturally that, it feels like the breath is going there anyway. Larry: Yeah, that's fine. Questioner: To the whole area. Larry: That's more and more you're going to see that. Now what I meant was, let's say, when it was suggested to bring awareness to the right side of the abdomen, what I meant was, it's not that you're trying to bring breath there. It's sort of like you very softly, tiptoe into the right side of the abdomen, and you wait, you situate yourself there, and then you see, if you feel any breath sensations, or not. We're not trying to program, or push the breath around. We're trying to slip in and feel it, if it's there, if we can feel it, we're trying to affect it. Be as delicate as possible. And then if we feel that, we do. But sometimes what you're saying is it goes there. Yeah. And then the next meditation that we'll do, which is going to be a longer one, we're going to need I don't know how long, maybe an hour. We'll finish, we're going to go through the whole body. We're beginning to move in that direction. And there you'll see an interesting thing, at least sometimes, and more, and more, as you go on, as you bring awareness to a part of the body, you'll feel like that part of the body is breathing. So that more, and more, we'll see something like that. You start to feel the sensations in the oddest places. End_time: 00:23:34
