The Anapana technique is dead simple: just observe your breath in the nostril area, i.e. inside the nostrils, at the entrance of the nostrils, and just below the nostrils. Just observe the sensations. Dead simple in theory, but tremendously difficult in practice. And this for a simple reason: the mind keeps wandering away. The paradox is you can never realize it immediately: you always realize it after the fact, a few seconds, minutes, or sometimes tens of minutes after the fact.
