Well, you can't stop breathing. So you don't need to fear of running out of oxygen... When your mind settles, your breathing becomes shallow too. Or the breath can be used to calm the mind too. After only a minute of meditation that sounds like you notice the change in your breath the first time? For example in jhanic practice losing the physical sensation of breath altogether is a sign of that you are in your way to the deeper concentration and finally to the access concentration. But it all depends on what kind of meditation are you doing? |
