#push [[numbers]]
-
While meditating I sometimes do variations on [[box breathing]] combined with [[counting]].
- It's maybe a bit idiosyncratic but it helps me focus; I'll write more about it in this node.
- It's important to let go of the process after a while, instead of becoming [[attached]] to the counting.
-
While I [[breathe]], I sometimes visualize a box.
-
I started by using [[single time]] to count with the help of this box.
- On breathing in, I count and optionally visualize a number inside or near the box as I go up the leftmost edge.
- On not yet breathing out, I go right through the upper edge.
-
On breathing out, I go down the rightmost edge.
- While I do this, optionally, I [[factorize]] the number or evaluate it according to some well known function.
-
If the number is known to be prime, optionally, I calculate its multiples until I start another breath.
- If some multiple is known to be interesting, I stop there and make a mental note of where I stopped.
-
[[119]] is known to be interesting, for example, because it was the first multiple of [[17]] which I found interesting in one particular run through this process.
- It was the first number that I couldn't decide as prime or composite based on some procedure simpler than knowing it was a multiple of 17.
-
On occasion I find it useful to [[double time]].
- That means, to count up both when [[inhaling]] and [[exhaling]].
- This can feel more engaging, which makes it easier to maintain focus.
- It also lets one make use of our body's natural [[parity bit]]: breathing in and out follow each other like odd and even numbers.
- I start counting at one, so odd numbers happen when inhaling and even numbers when exhaling.
- Interesting noting related to a number takes place on two consecutive edges.

node [[braids]] pulled by user
-
a [[game]].
- not to be confused with [[braid]] -- which is amazing by the way.
- Braids is a solitaire/coop game I think I may have invented :)
-
It goes like this:
-
you [[count]], from zero up.
-
I do this while meditating, but that's optional, I guess.
-
unless we're always meditating?
- ([[buddha nature]] and all)
- or we're entities programmed to do so.

-

-
as you count, you visualize the [[number]].
-
I do a version of [[box breathing]].
- It helps me reach [[samatha]].
- as I [[breathe in]], I count [[up]] the side of a square π
- as I hold, I traverse a lateral edge βΆ
- as I [[breathe out]], I try to [[factorize]] the number if I want and I [[go down]] π
- as I am yet not breathing in, I optionally rest as I [[go left]] βοΈ
- I start at [[0]] and move up according to three default rules:
- a braid is what players achieve by counting up to a certain number through different paths
-
