Breath meditation can be a gateway to a broader practice of "mindfulness," where you learn to accept and appreciate what comes in life and stop fighting your own thoughts and feelings. Simple breathing meditation requires only that you find a comfortable position in a place with minimal distractions. It can be practiced while sitting, standing, or even walking. Many find it helpful to start by focusing on their breath, and silently count inhalations and exhalations. Idea is focus on the breath, leaving aside intrusive thoughts. A daily meditation practice could begin with a 10 minutes morning and evening sessions; with a gradual increase to 20 or 30 minutes. Needlessly a session of breath meditation can be initiated any time one feels stressed out. There are many types of breathing techniques, viz: Equal Breathing, Count for Four, Abdominal Breathing, Stimulating Breath, Alternate Nostril Breathing (Anulom Vilom), Skull Shining Breath (Kapalbhati), Mala Bead Breathing, etc.
