@CenteringPrayer Easier done than said. Not so much watching the breath as breathing the watching. Breath itself alive to experience. Integrating the breath within the breath. Opening the Realm door with the breath key. Breath and river as one. Breath as a bridge. Only connect with your breath.

1/ Perhaps the holy, open secret of God-experience is not its ineffability as much as its closeness. We imagine a divide to be crossed, a calculus to be applied, a somewhere to be found. But what if the primal immediacy of aliveness, of personal experience itself, is made of God?

Quoted by8/ To see what is actually here changes everything. What matters, and how it matters, comes into sharper view: this body, this person, this meal, this place, this breath, this grief, this moment, this life, this screen. The ordinary world becomes charged again with consequence.Quoted by@Jawnmard1 "... in this path there is only one sin and one virtue. The sin is the breath that escapes in forgetfulness, and the virtue is the breath that is breathed in awareness of the unity of being. It is as simple as that." - Sajjadanishin Zia Inayat-Khan ‘urf Sarafil Bawa
