Yes yes i read your teaching about Anapanasati not being breath meditation some days ago too.
Read and understood it. So according your teachings i would sum up my first post on this subject as follows:
– After a short relaxation and having prepared the suitable environment (incense, light etc) i start focusing on one of the 3 pillars Anicca, Anatta, Dukkha and i relate it to my life experience. Then I see what i could have done, thought or said better as per my understanding of the pillar in question.
Example: if i could sum up my understanding of Anicca in some brief sentences (which i can’t) based upon what one SHOULDN’T do/be, i would say that a wrong perception of oneself (meaning that one identifies himself/herself to different cravings and defilements) pushes one into trying to get hold of something that is intrinsically “not holdable” or inconsistent , SO any efforts to immobilise the experience,or to stick to it, will trigger DUKKHA…
