I counted how many breaths I take while meditating

I’m not claiming a particularly insightful post today, but I wanted to share it anyway.

Regular readers know I meditate daily, these days for 25 minutes. Usually I focus on my breath and observe how my mind operates.

For no particular reason, I decided to count how many breaths I took. I didn’t plan it.

I breathed 243 times in 25 minutes, or 0.16 breaths per second, or 6.2 seconds per breath.

I’m pretty sure I didn’t lose count.

I wonder why I never did it before. I’ll probably do it again and report here.
