What we notice from watching our breath during mindfulness meditation is that the breath is impermanent ever-changing: it goes in it comes out it starts it stops it slows it speeds up it gets heavier then lighter lighter then heavier over and over. This insight leads us to the general conclusion that everything is impermanent. Mountains arise from colliding tectonic plates erode and disappear (albeit very slowly) and so it is we observe with everything. Everything arises runs its course and ceases. Everything is impermanent even us: we arise at birth run our course (age) and cease (die).
That is one of the most important insights that arises from meditation.
Why?
Because we can learn from that simple insight how to live our lives so that we reduce our everyday stress and anxiety and increase our peacefulness and well-being.
