Continue to focus on the intricacies of the breath. If the
mind wanders and other thoughts pop into your head,
simply return to focusing on the movements of your breath.
Keep repeating this as necessary.
As you maintain the focus on the breath, let everything
else remain in the background—thoughts, emotions, bodily
sensations—these things will come and go automatically. Let
them be and keep the focus on the movements of the breath.
