Namaste Harsha,

 

Often when I come out of meditation, I take a first

breath and that is what seems to bring me back,

however I have no memory of any prior experience in

meditation, except that I was not conscious but not

asleep either.

 

I wondered for a long time that perhaps I wasn't

breathing for why the sudden breath?

 

I have sometimes had bliss memories but not all the

time.

 

I usually do the three pranayama exercises before

meditation but not heavy. Chanting Gayatri during

retention as a counting method also.

 

Om Namah Sivaya, Tony.
