This is correct. It sounds a bit silly, yes it's the commonsense way of breathing I am referring here. Let it take over. Well, don't we all breath, if not we would have all gone dead by now. Yes and that is also correct, but the secret of breathing is for you to find out. It's meditation I am talking about.
I attended a Buddhism talk recently. The speaker spoke about meditation and we had some simple practice in the session. I often felt I never really know about meditation as it is so "mysterious". The state of mind someone is in and the effect it has on the person continue to make me interested to want to know more. I then realize meditation is just a state of mind that you practice "awareness". It all begins with the breathing and the awareness of how it starts and how it ends, which over and over again it repeats. In the process of observing and aware of the whole process, your mind might run wild but, as the speaker in the Buddhism says, just remember to get back to the present, i.e., where you are, how you feel and how you breath too. All in all, it brings back your focus.
I have been trying this a few times, with some music on the background to make it interesting. The end effect for me is that, you find your breath becomes smoother after that, and more relaxed. You do regained certain degree of focus back. So, if before the meditation, if you have a few things in mind you wanted to do, but cannot make up your mind, then after the meditation, you could feel more sorted and easier to help yourselves get on with things. Yes you feel more "settled", your mind less "crowded", which is good because you just feel "all ready" for anything. At least before you sleep tonight, you are ready for the challenge tomorrow :D
