You ' re giffing the wrong way ! <| sep |> making my session pointless . You need to kick this type of thinking . The session is never pointless , especially when you ' re sitting here describing really great awareness of what ' s going on . I never really paid attention to it until i recently tried to meditate . You just started , be patient . Because of your nose polyps , you probably have better awareness of the breathing than most people . In fact , I teach meditation and most beginners cannot observe as many details as you ' re describing here . You ' re doing really great . Don ' t overthink it and keep observing the breath . if you notice the breathing with the mouth , gently bring it back to the nose . Keep doing this and you ' ll be a pro in no time .
