Please advise. It is unclear to me when practicing Rising / falling, are you taking deep abdominal breaths or should you be letting the body breathe in it own natural way? When breathing completely naturally I find the breath so slight that rising and falling almost rapid-fire back-to-back.

Optimally, for Mahasi method, it is good to breathe in natural way. The reason is you are building up to have right amount of concentration to see (sense) natural phenomena of air element though it is hard to catch at the beginning stage. However, with regular practice, you will be able to see more and more subtle movement. On the other hand, if you take deep breaths to make it obvious, you will get tired or uneasy feeling later on. Thus be patient and let your sharpen mind catch the object in natural way. You my put your hand touching gently on abdomen so it will help you notice. Or, you may do slight deep breaths a few times as you feel comfortable. (it is personal preference and no rigid rules). The principle is your mind and body should be ease with full alertness and mindfulness. Please do not forget other objects (feeling, mind and general objects) to note as they arise. Actually, rising / falling is not alone to note but, there are many other objects in your domain. As long as you can note one of them, you are on the right track of practicing. Hope this helps.

The first Jhana has five characteristics -- Aiming to the object (Vitakka), Sustained and adhere to the object (Vicara), Rapture or Joy (Piti), Happiness (Sukha), One-pointedness (Ekaggata). And here, we are talking about the Vipassana Jhana that is achievable by a lay person when his mindfulness, concentration, effort, faith, and wisdom are well balanced. The characteristics of Jhana is equivalent to the Samatha Jhana.

@@andrewhunt9901 Reflection (appropriate reflection) = think or consider appropriately. That means think about the reality to reduce the attachment of "my body or my life", rather than a negative thought.

Primarily yes. The negative thought will be handled in the process of noting. It is also a part of contemplation on the mind.

Piotr I assume you are referring to the audio breaks between sentences. He is either editing out the breathing and spaces between speaking which leaves it silent, or they are using a very high setting on an audio gate which has the same effect. A more listenable approach would be to use a much lighter gate setting if that is the tool being used, or instead of silencing the spaces simply decrease the audio there by 50%. It will keep the natural flow the human ear expects.
