Breathing issue during concentration exercise and

[carlowillo]

I have been doing the concentration exercise (the metronome one) Leo recommends in his video 'Concentration vs Meditation - How To Develop Concentration' and my concentration has been improving because of this. However I am struggling a bit with my breath while carrying out these exercises. Whenever I really intensely concentrate I stop breathing automatically and have to manually take each breath in and out, doing this while concentrating seems like it is preventing me from getting the most out of my practice. Any advice would be helpful thanks

what if you tried to concentrate/focus on your breath?

@carlowillo yes. Focus on the stomach breathing.

@Nahm @phoenix666  I'll give that a go and let you know how it goes, thanks.
