Practicing the First 3 Breathing Techniques
Master Niels explains how to apply and guides you through practicing the first three basic mindfulness breathing techniques: B3, B2, and B1.

Focus on your breath touching the inside of your nostrils during your inhalation and exhalation.

B3 - Breathe normally
B2 - Breathe in and out deeply
B1 - Breathe fast, short, and shallow

    Since the start of 2024, I never experienced this kind of peace until today because of meditating by watching this video. There are many pressures of life, but I have found peace in Buddhism. Thank you Master Niels! For those who are struggling in life, remember the Buddhist concept of impermanence. May you attain the highest good in this life!

    Upon opening my eyes, a surreal feeling came over me. A feeling from within that radiated through my body. A feeling of calm, tranquility, peace that I found in myself. A feeling of peacefulness, brought about by the meditation that carried on, spreading through every part of my body, filling my mind and body with contentment. Thank you for this video Master Niels
