Hi,
I have been asked to watch my breath while practicing meditation. But I am not able observe whether I am inhaling or exhaling unless and until I do it forcibly. If I do forcible inhalation and exhalation, after sometime I become tired. How do I manage this and become aware of my breath??

Hi Santosh. I have considered your question, and my answer to this is the following :
Watching your breathing is a meditation technique which is used to help you focus, and is not an objective in itself. The objective is to focus. So do not loose sight of this.
That said, there is nothing wrong with forcing your breathing, especially if you are just starting out. Just like an athlete has to train for the 10 mile run, you have to train for your meditation. You will find if you persist this becomes easier fairly quickly, and before you know it, this method of breathing will be a second nature, and you can focus on the things that matter. Like getting on with your meditation...
Hope this helps.
Regards
