Hi,
Im sorry to create a new thread for that, im curious and dont know whom i could ask instead.
Today in my meditation session, my breath stopped naturally, it felt very long... maybe a minute. At some point i felt waves going through my body, and it felt as if the world disappears somehow.
Is that what samadhi is about? Is there no dream, when theres no breath?
Thanks
Pan |

I guess not an answer, but I had the thought a while back that one reason we have an internal thought stream is because we breath. In certain stages of meditation when the breath equalizes, neither going in or out (very different from holding breath) the mind follows and we stop thinking and/or thinking is very slow. It may have to do with breath process triggering the speech process and since we don't talk out loud to ourselves unless we're a little loony, its internalized.
