Why do you think it is a key? For me observing and playing with breath is just a way to overload brain with sensory/awareness activities so it can't keep the constant internal self chatter.
Just like walking a little slower than your normal pace and keeping your mind busy with that task.
Or like trying to count as many snowflakes as you can. Or when trying talk with people trying to be aware of you instinctive reactions and chose different reactions.
Talking here in the context of meditation and mind exercise. I am big fan of all kind breathing techniques.
Breathing is indeed key. The more you do it, the less you think, in fact, but at first, we're unaccustomed to it, so we go through moments of great mental noise. When you hit those, keep focusing on your breathing and don't stop. The noise will eventually go away and you'll see why we say that breathing is key.
Ok breathing practice is very long discussion...
It’s good you work on your breathing.
Do you practice no breathing?
Namaste 🙏
It is indeed. Do you mean holding breath in with fully inhaled or exhaled lungs. I have tried most pranayama variations, some Wim Hof and some resistance based excersices with mask or other airflow restrictions 😊 Now I keep it very simple with a short variation of what is shown here:
Ok, that's good!
Troy is good!
But I didn't mean exactly that ;)
Exhale and trying not to breathe at all, as like you are holding on to exhale with the Wim Hof method but completely aware of that as well.
There is a place where we can reach with no breathing for an extended period of 10-30 min...
I see. 10-30 is a long journey I guess and probably requires more than just body oriented practice.
