Meditation on breathing

I have a habit of cut and paste what I have written in Buddhist forum, just to log them basically. This is another short one on meditation, with focus on the breathe.

We can just observe the breathing continuously, especially when it is boring, because if there is still boredom in meditation, our minds are not calm yet - still monkey minds. But also, when we feel happy just to observe the breathing (or lack of it) and don't want to do anything else, it is probably a good time to start using the concentrated minds to do some real work (i.e. proper vipassana/ seeing nature of samsara, which can be done in several ways).
