it come with me again 00:08:45
you 00:10:11
let me explain again what we are doing 00:10:22
we are going behind words names numbers 00:10:27
we are going behind words names numbers 00:10:31

that's just talk what is really 00:11:04
that's just talk what is really happening is 00:11:04
Oh 00:11:17
and you may wonder how I can keep the 00:11:27
and you may wonder how I can keep the 00:11:30
and you may wonder how I can keep the sound going for so long a time it 00:11:30
sound going for so long a time it 00:11:34
sound going for so long a time it depends on regulation of the breath 00:11:34
depends on regulation of the breath 00:11:36
depends on regulation of the breath which is basic to the art of meditation 00:11:36
which is basic to the art of meditation 00:11:38
which is basic to the art of meditation and I'm going to show you how to do this 00:11:38
and I'm going to show you how to do this 00:11:41
and I'm going to show you how to do this and why to begin with just as you've 00:11:41
and why to begin with just as you've 00:11:48
and why to begin with just as you've been letting vibrations in the air play 00:11:48
been letting vibrations in the air play 00:11:50
been letting vibrations in the air play with your ears let your lungs breathe as 00:11:50
with your ears let your lungs breathe as 00:11:54
with your ears let your lungs breathe as they will don't as yet attempt any 00:11:54
they will don't as yet attempt any 00:11:59
they will don't as yet attempt any breathing exercise don't force anything 00:11:59
breathing exercise don't force anything 00:12:02
breathing exercise don't force anything simply allow breathing 00:12:02
now is this breathing a voluntary or 00:12:19
now is this breathing a voluntary or 00:12:23
now is this breathing a voluntary or involuntary action or both on either 00:12:23
just feel it without taking sides 00:12:29
just feel it without taking sides 00:12:33
just feel it without taking sides without words and again hear my voice as 00:12:33
without words and again hear my voice as 00:12:39
without words and again hear my voice as if it were wind in the trees of the 00:12:39
if it were wind in the trees of the 00:12:41
if it were wind in the trees of the sound of waves 00:12:41
most of us are short of breath we never 00:13:15
most of us are short of breath we never 00:13:19
most of us are short of breath we never really empty our lungs but to make a 00:13:19
really empty our lungs but to make a 00:13:23
really empty our lungs but to make a long complete out-breath you mustn't 00:13:23
long complete out-breath you mustn't 00:13:25
long complete out-breath you mustn't force it imagine there's a large ball of 00:13:25
force it imagine there's a large ball of 00:13:29
force it imagine there's a large ball of lead inside your neck and allow it to 00:13:29
lead inside your neck and allow it to 00:13:33
lead inside your neck and allow it to fall slowly through your body to the 00:13:33
fall slowly through your body to the 00:13:35
fall slowly through your body to the floor pushing and easing the breath out 00:13:35
floor pushing and easing the breath out 00:13:39
floor pushing and easing the breath out as it drops in use the breath out just 00:13:39
as it drops in use the breath out just 00:13:46
as it drops in use the breath out just as you settle and sink down comfortably 00:13:46
as you settle and sink down comfortably 00:13:48
as you settle and sink down comfortably into a bed and when the ball reaches the 00:13:48
into a bed and when the ball reaches the 00:13:53
into a bed and when the ball reaches the floor let it drop away as if to the 00:13:53
floor let it drop away as if to the 00:13:57
floor let it drop away as if to the center of the earth 00:13:57
then let the breasts come back back in 00:14:29
then let the breasts come back back in 00:14:33
then let the breasts come back back in as a reflex without pulling it and then 00:14:33
as a reflex without pulling it and then 00:14:38
as a reflex without pulling it and then imagine another ball of lead in the neck 00:14:38
imagine another ball of lead in the neck 00:14:40
imagine another ball of lead in the neck and again let it fall out long and easy 00:14:40
and once again 00:15:16
in how do you see what's happening you 00:15:47
in how do you see what's happening you 00:15:51
in how do you see what's happening you are generating a great deal of energy 00:15:51
are generating a great deal of energy 00:15:53
are generating a great deal of energy without trying or forcing two things 00:15:53
without trying or forcing two things 00:15:58
without trying or forcing two things seem to be happening at once 00:15:58
seem to be happening at once 00:15:59
seem to be happening at once first the outflow of breath is simply 00:15:59
first the outflow of breath is simply 00:16:03
first the outflow of breath is simply falling happening all by itself 00:16:03
falling happening all by itself 00:16:08
falling happening all by itself second it's under perfect control 00:16:08
so from this practice you learn to 00:16:13
so from this practice you learn to 00:16:15
so from this practice you learn to experience to realize that what happens 00:16:15
experience to realize that what happens 00:16:20
experience to realize that what happens to you and what you do are one in the 00:16:20
to you and what you do are one in the 00:16:24
to you and what you do are one in the same process there is no real separation 00:16:24
same process there is no real separation 00:16:29
same process there is no real separation between one thing called you and another 00:16:29
between one thing called you and another 00:16:33
between one thing called you and another quite different thing called the 00:16:33
quite different thing called the 00:16:34
quite different thing called the universe when you stop talking and 00:16:34
universe when you stop talking and 00:16:38
universe when you stop talking and naming they're quite obviously one so 00:16:38
naming they're quite obviously one so 00:16:45
naming they're quite obviously one so again let your breath fall easily out 00:16:45
all the way let it come back on its own 00:17:13
all the way let it come back on its own 00:17:17
all the way let it come back on its own and then are again 00:17:17
and now let's put the sound are on the 00:17:41
and now let's put the sound are on the 00:17:46
and now let's put the sound are on the next outflow 00:17:46
you 00:18:09
and again so that you have nothing in 00:18:15
and again so that you have nothing in 00:18:18
and again so that you have nothing in mind but 00:18:18
