I will add that this stillness may be the letting go of past and future—being "in the now" as Eckhart Tolle puts it.
Concerns that are with us constantly in this life are based on the past (regrets, successes, loss, mistakes, triggers from trauma, familial origins, etc.) and the future (what will happen, what can I do differently, how can I plan for a good life, how will I survive, what will I make for dinner, etc.). When we are able to transcend those phantoms, and be present, so much of the baggage we carry is dropped and unimportant, leaving energy and focus and availability to that which is beyond those 3D concerns.
This is one reason why creative pursuits are so effective—they allow for at least some immersion into the now, and thus the opening into intelligent infinity. I imagine the breathing you speak of Steppingfeet, is the same—an adventure away from left-brained, linear, accounting of tasks, concerns, background noise and internal dialogue, into the right-brain space of creativity and wordlessness where one is limitless and free to float around in any direction unencumbered by the physical—but one finds at a certain point there is no desire to even adventure, as the space one is in is everything (all possibilities) all at once. It is accessing the wave function where all possibilities are suspended, and leaving the particle function where all is collapsed into one outcome—which is really hard to do since there is a strong collective agreement on that collapsed version of reality. This is me trying to articulate the indescribable out of a very limited comprehension.
A lot has beed written about prana. So perhaps there is something inherently magical in breath itself, in guiding us away from the physical into the realm of the spirit. When you (Steppingfeet) described the body still functioning, it made me think of the Matrices of the Archetypes (especially the body), and in doing the breathing accessing the Potentiators.
