Ohhh meditating by noticing the changing temperatures of the breath!! Will try it.

I have only tried breathing as a home base by counting 1 (in) and 2 (out).

For meditation, the “hunger level” is called “availability.”

I might have said this backwards--"fullness" is called "availability" since the more "available" you are, the more "advanced" techniques become amenable... ^_^;;

Good catch!

I really like these metaphors! I came to read about breathing, but left feeling hungry but it's now close to midnight and I really shouldn't eat. Hahaha. Thinking fondly of hummus and OG Buddha, the latter which is another thing I've not heard of but makes perfect sense. Thank you for writing this. :)
