Questions
Q1: When practicing anapanasati, my mind automatically moves from being aware of the breath to being aware of just sensations below the nose - possibly from many years practicing a vipassana technique. Is it ok to just switch to physical sensations at that spot? Or, do I try to remain with breath?

Q2: Dear Ajahn, from the talk you gave in Bodhgaya about the 37 factors for awakening, I am wondering how to use these factors in the practise on and off the cushion. Does it make sense to focus on the Noble Eightfold Path, trusting that the other factors gradually will be developed through this practise.
Q3: How do we know if we are stuck in a meditation? It could just be that our progress in meditation is rather subtle or slow, right? Many Thanks.
Q4: What is the purpose of meditation besides being free of the 5 clinging aggregates? How does it benefit someone else?
