ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
When you inhale, your body is infused with life energy. Before you exhale, in the gap between inhaling and exhaling, your whole system is vibrating with life. Whenever you are flooded with energy, be aware that it is happening in this neutral zone.
In the same way, your outgoing breath is death. Your every outgoing breath brings you greater intelligence.
Understand, whenever something is taken away from you and you reconcile yourself to it, you are flooded with intelligence. If you lose something, immediately you are given some message, some understanding about life, and that adds to your intelligence.
This intelligence is coming to you in the gap between the outgoing and incoming breath.
When your breath leaves the body, in the gap before it takes the turn and returns to your body – in this space, you are flooded with intelligence. Whenever you are flooded with intelligence, be aware that it is happening in this neutral zone.
Every moment, you have both energy and intelligence.You are functioning as both energy and intelligence.
At one moment, you are flooded with icchashakti, the power of desire. The next moment you are flooded with kriya shakti, the power of action. One moment you are flooded with energy, the next moment you are flooded with intelligence. If you can be aware of the gap, you will achieve jnana shakti or the power of wisdom.
WITNESSING THE GAP BETWEEN BREATHS
The whole binary system is based on this constant flux – the duality of intelligence and energy, energy and intelligence: zero-one, one-zero! Constantly, in your inner space, matter and energy are dancing. The power of desire and the power of action are both dancing in your inner space. Not only inside you, but in the entire cosmos, this dance is happening.
This is what we call the cosmic dance of Shiva (intelligence) and Shakti (energy). The whole movement of the cosmos is nothing but this dance. This grand cosmic dance is what you experience so intimately, in every breath! The Divine is constantly enjoying itself, expressing itself in your inner space. If you can be aware in the neutral zones, you will experience this eternal consciousness.
