1. Meditate on the still space between the in-breath and the out-breath.
When you pay close attention to your breath, you can see that it swings back and forth between two still moments.
There is a still moment when the breath stops after the in-breath, and there is another still moment after the out-breath stops. Your thoughts and your breath are closed correlated. When your breath slows down, so do your thoughts, and vice versa.
Without straining, focus your attention on these still moments that naturally arise. Simply listen to them, be gently aware of them. See that your breath merges into nothingness, and that it arises out of nothingness.
When your breath ends, you will find yourself in a state of nothingness. But this is not an empty nothingness. In fact, this nothingness is full of knowing, full of awareness, full of your being.
Listen to this nothingness, rest comfortably in it and realize your innate perfection as a conscious being.
