Mindfulness of Breathing is one of the most common meditations,
and that is the meditation that Buddha practised.
However simple the practise may be, and even though there may be
online guides for it, it is still better to meet a dharma teacher
who can guide you, see your posture, and give clear instructions,
and answer your questions. And the Right Motivation for Anapanasati
practise is also very important:
from another topic:
In accordance to Buddhadharma, it
is unadvisable seeking of any forms of spiritual powers as that may
create a link to the lower realms.
Powers gained by a Buddhist through dhyana (meditation) is
absolutely different from those that has to do with spirits.
However it shld be noted that (from the point of view of a
Buddhist), we should never meditate with the intention for psychic
powers, that is Wrong Motivation (google for 8 Fold Path), and may
even easily enter a deviate path easily influenced by the Maras
(see Shurangama Sutra). Psychic powers is only a byproduct and shld
not be taken as an ultimate aim. May we avoid walking to a dark
path.
