THE PRACTICE OF DEEP
BREATHING
Sixteen breaths per minute is the normal
. rate of breathing; It declines with perception and a little
practice. To begin with five or seven inhalation
exhalations, The practice of deep breathing is capable
of great extension, Till one whole breath per minute becomes
the norm, Filling the mind with satisfaction and
confidence great. The process of breathing in and out, the
pause and pranayama, The indisputable beauty of breath-control! When breath grows musical, rhythmic
and deep, Inward consciousness grows with complete
self-integration. 143
