Subtle link of breathe from life to beyond death

Introduction

Here I will be posting some techniques to go from awareness of breathing to going beyond to realize the nature of oneself. In this human body, we all experience breathing as an essential part of human life. If we are aware of it or not, breathing is always occcuring. It is without distinction in term of caste, creed, religion, ethnicity, or an ideology. Therefore, it is a technique which can be used by the whole humanity without having to prescribe to a certain way of thought.

There are many meditation methods using breathing. First usually starting with conscious cathartic breathing methods,deep naval breathing, to awareness of the natural breathe, to subtler insights into the nature of oneself at all relative depths and ones absolute nature. Breathing is natural to us and therefore can be used to enter meditation at any point in our day to day life. Each one of us is unique and so we may use certain methods during certain times on our spiritual path.

I will be focusing on techniques using breathing directly at first (such as cathartic breathing, and deep naval breathing), then using breathing as a point reference to lead to subtle insights and experiences of the body-mind-soul (e.g. awareness of breathe techniques), leading to what lies beyond the body-mind-soul, the very source of life itself. Meditation methods lead us to meditation itself. The word meditation is just a signpost to discovering our universal self.
