Sleep Apnea and Meditation.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Sometimes when I meditate I stop breathing. How is this different from sleep apnea? Is it dangerous?
Answer:
No, it’s not dangerous. When the breathing rate decreases or is temporarily suspended in meditation, it is because the mind is experiencing profound silence and the mind’s correlation with the body means that the body experiences deep rest. That rest produces reduced respiration and heart rate which improves one’s health. The stoppage of breathing in sleep apnea on the other hand is not healthy.
The moments of suspended breathing in meditation is also different from sleep apnea for the simple fact that during meditation one is awake not asleep. If your body needs to breath more during meditation you will.
