Anapanasati 2.0 Pavel Somov

There is Pranayama and there is Anapanasati. Pranayama is about modifying breath. Anapanasati is about leaving breath as it is. Pranayama is about control. Anapanasati is about letting go of control. Pranayama-mind wants to dissect breathing into breaths. Anapanasati-mind wants to restore breaths back into breathing. Pranayama is a pursuit of Perfect Breathing Form. Anapanasati is an acceptance of Breathing Formlessness. Pranayama is a science of self-control. Anapanasati is an art of letting go. Pranayama and Anapanasati are as different as double-door refrigerators and seven-inch stilettos. This book is about learning from lungs, not about taming lungs.
