BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Meditation Mind, breath and Meditation

Breath is 'Prana', the Life Force.
When we are alive, Breath or 'Prana' is there in the physical body.
When there is no �Prana', you are no more in the physical body.

Breath is a natural thing that happens in our human system.
Breath is directly related to our mind activities.
Normally one takes 10 to 14 Breaths per minute when he is mentally normal. When he gets tensed, breath rate increases to 25 and further, if he is super tensed, it may even touch 60 to 100. This is where Breath related problems aggravates, like high blood pressure etc.
When one's mind is relaxed, breath rate reduces.
If he is very calm mind, then his breath rate will be 8 to 10 breaths per minute. During deep sleep, breath rate will be 4 to 6 breaths per minute.
In Mediation breath rate will be 3 to 5 breaths per minute. Further one will reach Meditative state. In this state one will have No Breath at all.
If one practices Meditation continuously, mind will be very calm and peaceful.

Please practice Meditation every day. Attain peace within.
