By watching the breath you calm the heart, and when the heart is calm the energy withdraws from the senses and your attention is then free and can be put on anything you desire to concentrate upon. By watching the breath you attain breathlessness. By watching the breath you separate yourself from it. You realize that life is not dependent on it except in the state of body consciousness. Breath is the cord that ties the soul to the body, when you know how to die daily--that is, to consciously release the energy from the body by untying the cord of breath--you are one with spirit.--Paramahansa Yogananda
Had a dream last nite and in it someone said this to me "We need time to breathe and mentally be cured."
