Any thoughts about meditating while sick? Obviously breathing through the nose may not work. Would you focus on breath across tongue/lips, or something else? It's looking like I'm going to have this problem for a few days. :|
In the dhamma.org courses you move from focusing on your breath (in the area I mentioned), to focusing on sensations in that area, to systematically focusing on sensations in your whole body. If you can feel sensations in that area (like slight throbbing, temperature gradients, itchingness, etc.) you could focus on those (at least temporarily). These sensations might be too subtle to work with at this point though.
Hmm. I guess I'll see. Thanks. Today I think I can still breathe through my nose, we'll see how it goes tomorrow. The sad thing is that I was going to go by a group meditation for the first time tomorrow evening, but that seems like a bad idea for hygenic reasons at the moment.
