Friends:
All
Buddhas Awakened by Breath Meditation!
It has aspects both of serene calm (Samatha)
& incisive insight (Vipassana).
It is extraordinarily advantageous to train this unique breathing
technique.
Can recommend this booklet about standard Breathing Meditation very
much:
Mindfulness of Breathing. Classic Anapanasati meditation manual of the
root
Pali texts translated by Bhikkhu ānamoli. BPS. 1998.

The ideal is when Calm
and Insight goes hand in hand, as if yoked together!
