I never met anyone like him! :-))) Thanks for showing us! LOL ! I enjoyed the picture greatly too. (chuckle) Once during a discussion on the K-Gateway list about seeing or not seeing auras, Jacques sent in a picture of himself standing underneath a big white lamp, so it looked like his head was surrounded by a blazing white aura. Also, the phenomenon of natural breath retention during meditation which Jacques mentions on the page is quite common I believe. This is a very nice form of pranayama, the pranayama coming to you and not the other way around. Patanjali also mentions in the Yoga Sutra that breath retention will come during meditation, "when the body is ready for it". One form of natural breath retention is called khumbaka (sp ?) when there is no active breath retention, but a kind of double breathing appears, inhalation seemingly goes on at the same time as exhalation and vice versa. Thanks for sharing the link with us. Love, Amanda. Angelfire for your free web-based e-mail. http://www.angelfire.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
