Breath & emotion

The breathing continuously changes with your emotions. When you are angry, your breathing is unrhythmic, asymmetrical. When you are in sexual lust, your breathing is almost insane. When you are calm and quiet, joyful, your breathing is almost a song. When you are feeling at home in existence, when you have no desires and feeling contented, suddenly breathing almost stops. When you are in a state of awe, wonder, breathing stops for a moment. And these are the greatest moments of life, because slowly in those moments when breathing almost stops are you in utter tune with existence, you are in God and God is in you. Your experience of breathing has to be more and more profound, scrutinized, observed, watched, analyzed. See how your breathing changes with your emotions, and vise versa, how your breathing change your breathing.
