Try to find the most delicious breath, the most comfortable breath, the most gratifying breath, because the process of looking for these things is what clears up your ignorance.

"You’ve got to keep the focus right here, right now. Each breath. How you’re shaping each breath right now: Be sensitive to that, so that each breath becomes your goal, in and of itself. And try to find the most delicious breath, the most comfortable breath, the most gratifying breath, not because you’re going to keep it and put away in storage, but because the process of looking for these things is what clears up your ignorance."

~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Between You and Your Eyes"
