Meditation-Silence 9: The Control of Breath

“When you breathe in, try to breathe in as slowly and as quietly as possible. The highest type of spiritual breathing is to breathe in so slowly and quietly that if somebody placed a tiny thread in front of your nose it would not move at all. Again, it is most important that this breathing be done in a very conscious way, not in a mechanical way. While breathing in as slowly as possible, feel that you are breathing in not just air but cosmic energy. Feel that tremendous energy is entering into you, and that you are going to use it to purify yourself: your body, vital, mind and heart. Feel that there is not a single place in your body that is not being occupied by the flow of cosmic energy. It is flowing like a river inside you.”
