This whole subject of the breath as  related to meditation  has been on my mind for sometime. The awareness of breath seems to be the most important part of meditation. Because focusing on it slows it down and since the breath is related to the restlessness of the mind the slower the breath the less thoughts and the less thoughts the slower the breath. Breath binds our consciousness and soul to the body. If we are free of breath the consciousness automatically expands and transcends the body.
