AJAHN GEOFF THANISSARO | You can Feel the Breath not only at the Nose | Q&A Dhammagiri 02

Tan Ajahn Geoff Thānissaro answers questions of the audience at Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage, Brisbane, Australia.
At the first question about Ānāpānasati (mindfulness of the breath), he explains that we can experience the breath throughout the body, not just at the nose tip.

'Breath' doesn't mean just the air going into the nose & lungs, but the suptle energy connected with the breath, that we can feel throughout the body.

Ajahn Ṭhānissaro (Geoffrey DeGraff) is an American monk of the Thai Forest Tradition.
