Don&#39;t focus on whether they&#39;re long or short karma how deeply you&#39;re breathing in or out. Just notice that your breathing. Notice the rise and fall in your chest and or abdomen. Notice the sensation of the air is it goes into and leaves your nostrils see. There&#39;s no wrong way to meditate. Just observe. We tend to be our own worst critics. Meditation is a personal experience there is no goal. Just noticing. I hope this helps.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">R N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Generally no. It&#39;s actually quite soothing to take deep breaths and to focus on the breaths. However, when I have severe anxiety, I do find it difficult, even painful. I was also on a medication that causes muscle spasms in the chest, so that was uncomfortable too. But I don&#39;t believe it&#39;s normal for it to feel uncomfortable on a regular basis. It can&#39;t hurt to mention it to a doctor or a nurse. It&#39;s probably nothing.
