Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. We are the admins of the website Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh!

Your question has been answered by Thay:

"Do not control the speed of your breath. You just need to inhale deeply and exhale slowly in the first three breaths. After that, you breathe naturally according to the needs of your body. Never think of controlling your breaths. If you control the speed of your breath in the first stage of meditation, you may get some illnesses. Just let your breath be natural. Be aware of it but don’t control it, then you will become healthy and your mind will become calmer."

If you have any more questions, please let us know.

We wish you and your family peace and happiness!
