Meditation when one has a cold

[Laurens]

Currently I have a bunged up nose, which makes breathing through my nose difficult at best, and at worst impossible.

What do you advise? Change in technique? Lay off meditation for a while? Or what?

[Cittasanto]

change the point of focus, breath through your mouth or use another area, maybe change the posture to a walking one.

[bodom]

Walking meditation or focus on abdomen while sitting.

I second Manapa. Try breathing through the mouth, and using the mouth as the focal point of attention instead of the nose.
