Finding Stillness Between Breaths: A Deeper Meditation Technique

Come up from the belly button to the diaphragm, heart, lungs, trachea, and throat, back to the nose, then out of the body. During exhalation the air goes out of the body to about nine inches in front of the nose, where there is a second stop. Again, stay in that stop for a moment. These two stops are very important.

The first stop is behind the belly button, the second outside the body in space. As your awareness rests in these two stops, time stops, because time is the movement of breath. When breath stops, mind stops, because mind is the movement of breath. When the mind becomes quiet, you simply exist, without body, without mind, without breath.

In that stop, you become like an empty bowl, and when you become an empty bowl, divine lips will touch you. God will come to you, to pour out his love. You do not need to seek God, for God is seeking you. From ages past, God is seeking an empty bowl, to fill with his love.

But all bowls are full of desire, ambition, business, competition, success and failure. Just sit quietly and stay in the stop. That stop is a door. Simply enter the door and jump into the inner abyss.

You will feel an extraordinary tranquillity and peace surrounding you. Practice this meditation for 15 minutes in the morning and in the evening. Over the days, weeks, and months, you will find your time in the stops naturally increasing until, eventually, inner and outer will merge and everything will happen within you. : If you are more comfortable, you may practice this meditation in a prone NOTE position.
