What is one supposed to do while meditating?
As in previous question – started my first zen meditation class last night. The teacher led a few meditations with some guided affirmations. Aside from suggesting relaxation, breathing and the affirmations, he didn’t really say what we were supposed to focus on. I tried to stay in the present and concentrate on my breathing and let extraneous thoughts float away. But is there more I should be doing?
