B. Administrative maintenance method
After you understand the purpose, meaning and benefits of meditation are now presenting the method runs the Citadel, consisting of 3 phases: reconcile oneself, regulate breathing and conditioning the mind.
(1) regulate body:
It belongs to the Zazen, so sitting is very important, sitting how to can sit for long, no numbness, no pain, no fear and no traffic movement, keeping his back to straight.
Sitting: Sat consists of five movements.

Sit the old unlawful: leader of the left foot placed on the right hand side, then head of the set on the right hand side left foot, pulling both ends feet flat into the abdomen. The so called old urban planner to sit. It is possible to start the set on the right hand side left leg, then the left leg led located on the right hand side also. This is how the best seats, which helps back straight, sitting so long without fatigue numbness. Originally sitting not familiar with pain, but the volume gradually sit longer into familiar, just tap gradually is being. If it hurts to sit not, time to sit for sale old, just to a foot on the calves is enough.

The time of the morning is the best, or the evening before going to sleep, or in the afternoon also sit as to how his body had not agitated. When sitting keep the mind clean NET security, don't eat, don't drink, don't make strong moves before sitting.
(2) automatic breath:
After the finished body conditioner, to regulate the breath. To recite in front of endless breathing, mindfulness, mindfulness breathing out, breathing the fold, not wheezing, breathing are both gentle and taking breath track concept, not to leave the breath. Breathe deeply, the exhale counting 1, also counts 2, 3 count as well, until the count of 5. Count 5 is completed, return to count from 1 to 6. Count 6 is completed, return to count from 1 to 7.

Count to 10, and thus regulate the breath was completed.
Note use the anniversary to track the breath, breathe deeply breathe out steadily, count sequential breath properly, do not count wrong, don't break the count. On the contrary, it should breathe deeply breathe out continued, always meditate on track the breath; If counting wrong, time begins to count down until it's smooth. Regulate breathing, counting from 1 to 5 and continue from 1 to 10 on about 5, 6 seconds is medium.
(3) the harmonic mind:
When automatic breathing, the object of the anniversary is breathing out, breathing in, through the mediation of mind, the audience of 16 subject: four on the fuselage, four topics about life experience, the four themes of the mind, the four themes of the law.
Four topics about Family:

1. Breathe deeply, I clearly know I breathe deeply long. Breathing out, I clearly know I breathe out long.
2. Breathe deeply short, I clearly know I breathe deeply short. Breathe out short, I clearly know I breathe out short.
3. body sense would I breathe deeply.Full body feeling I'm going to breathe out.

15. A wonderful piece, I'll breathe deeply. A great clip, I'm going to breathe out.
16. A disclaimer, I'm going to breathe deeply. A give up, I'm going to breathe out.

Contemplation:
1. today there are two audiences need reciting column, radial: i.e. Infinite breath breath out and 16 topics. For example, when reciting the first verse: breathe deeply, I clearly know I breathe deeply, then long celebration has just watched the breath deeply, just follow the "breathing deeply, I clearly know I breathe loads long". So recite two jobs, just reciting the long breath, just reciting the phrase "breathes deeply, I clearly know I breathe loads long". The anniversary or tell more correctly the games and fourth in two tasks.
For every subject, we breathe deeply breathe out once and we repeat three times for each topic. So if the meditation for all 16 topics, we breathe deeply 48 times, breathe out 48 times, breathing just right, we spend about 7, 8 minutes. If slow breathing during approximately 10 minutes.
Two of the topics, we need to clearly know when breathing deeply, when breathing out. But the 14 remaining projects, we have to practice each of the subject per. For example with the subject: "Safety Net stems, I'll breathe deeply". The recent anniversary of his breath track loads just tap how while breathing deeply, her body is truly an oscillation, with no net. Other topics are the same practice. So, for every infinite breath, breath out we use the anniversary to track invisible breath, breath out, we order anniversary. We're decanting filter the mind as irrelevant, we focus on the nose we breathe out while breathing deeply, so we practice on the Plan. And in every breath we exhale deeply and contemplate the subject at issue, so we practice on intellectual property. The magic of traditions deeply breathing the breath out is here.
2. meditate on the subject until the subject 16, then recite the topic back to the subject at the 16th, continue like that until the end of the hour given. How is the anniversary don't forget, don't be messy mess mantras, don't cut the ties anniversary. If false, the notion from the beginning.
3. Want to meditate, we took four themes as standard, finishing four subject untouched through four different themes, so that easier to remember and avoid ballooning magazine.
4. we can see the concept belong to 8, thanks to recite this topic 8 (4 belong to the fuselage, and 4 belong to the life) we are NET security body, mind an Tinh, us wedding Festival, body mind life at peace, so the influence is very good for the body and mind of people meditate. Four topics of mind belonged to meditation, makes the mind is joyful, meditation and moksha. The four topics of the law of intellectual property, particularly one focused on impermanence, a separation took part, a snippet of extermination, the abandoned, taken to the liberated bootleg or (negativity), be enlightened liberation. As such, reciting the full 16 subject is practicing in whole World-To-Wisdom.
5. while sitting, from 30 minutes to 60 minutes, trouble for the Memorial column on the breath and into 16 topics. Sometimes meditate, do we flee anything anywhere. Learning, we must stop, right, and back to the top, no depressed disappointed.
6. we are conscious of the sequentially of meditation 5 genera, the sequential constant 5 minus the range first quarter operated Memorial column on the breath and 16 topical; Thus, the exception being married Swiss deposits taken (sleepy) and comfort. Thanks to the anniversary was an stay on the breath and should start loving theses 16 up; and when starting up, loving duration except be and trạo was. When an is loving, especially peanuts, the depth of new mind kicked up and the sex are excluded. This process is very important, help us learn is unfolding of meditating and reviews are our meditation right or wrong. If meditation that slacking, passivity, indolence, jerk it hard before, anger, sexual and grave illness increase, while meditating is so misleading. Also when meditating mind feel soothing, exhilarating, wedding Festival, fun, less disease, less negativity, while meditating is so nice results.
