Hi mccoy. I started out at about 8 bpm with Hong Sau. After practicing the 10-10-10 and double breathing I went to 6 bpm . Then after kriyas 3 bpm. I did the joyti mudras and felt bliss creep up on me but then remembered the count and the bliss immediately left. We have a problem here. We may not be able to enjoy the possible fruits of meditation and counts breaths simultaneously. You said at one point you stopped counting during kriyas. It may be that occasional different states of consciousness slow the breath more and are not able to know studying ourselves. We may turn out to be what Sri Yukteswar called a 'budding experimentalist' when describing Paramahansa Yogananda since he was checking out whether Sri Yukteswar was breathing during meditation.
