Anapana
The preparation stage of Vipassana meditation is Anapana meditation, the concentration of the mind through the observation of the breath. Research shows that the technique requires the observer to fix the frame of reference on the entrance of the nose. Then observe the flow of air during breathing in and breathing out. However, only the polarity of the first derivative of the flow of air at this moment is observed. That is, whether the breath is coming in or going out at this moment. The value of the derivative, the second and higher derivatives, the memory of the past moments, or the prediction of the coming moments should all be ignored.
