Working with the breath

[omcasey]

Samavritti is the breathing technique through which I learned to enter the Inner breath. It gradually induced the state of kevala kumbhaka (stillness), a natural suspension of the breath in which no perceivable in/out breath occurs, yet, through which, Radiance shines. This happened for me through the process of making the sound and length of each component of the breathing cycle to be same until there was no discernible difference, — until I could no longer tell the inhale from the retention, exhalation or suspension and where I was in the cycle. It is a natural concentration in and expansion out into the zero point we commonly know in OBE circles as the the "Void".
