Always breath normally . Otherwise you'll get tired of trying to breath hard. Just observe the whole breathing process. At first you'll not be able to concentrate on it for more than few seconds because your mind will start distracting you with other thoughts, if you get carried away for a moment immediately bring the attention back to breathing. If you are a beginner don't try to meditate for hours, this will make you tired. Start with 10 minutes and then gradually increase the time. Try to meditate at the same time everyday.
