Nonsense it isn't, but it IS odd that eMailer--assuming he's able to sit and focus on his breath--needed to ask whether he's doing it right. You're doing it right if you can shut out (or at least not attach to) any and all thought except that of your breath. The rest are recommendations for how to do THAT. And if you're doing it ALREADY you (meaning eMailer) are the one should be giving instruction.
