How?🔗

Just stop breathing for a single moment, and your senses will close on their own.

When breath stops, sensation also stops. Hold your breath and see. Can you feel the irritation on your skin? Even the sounds recede into the distance. Your body actually feels frozen. You cannot lift your arm!

This is an excellent technique for relaxation.

When you can no longer flow outward, when you can no longer receive information through the senses, you become thrown back upon yourself. You become an island of silence. In that silence, you will find your own center.

Now, even when you look out, even when you listen, you will be doing it from that point of silence at your center. And once you discover this point, you will never again get lost in the uproar of the senses. At will, you can shut out your senses, you can become the witness of your senses.
