It's the only function that happens automatically, and you can alter/control. This is why the yogi's, buddhists, sufi's etc all concentrate on the breath in the early stages of meditation. It essentially focuses you your mind. There's a hindu saying that the whole universe is contained in the breath, the inbreath (positive) the out breath (negative) the pause between (nothingness).The feeling of nothingness (I don't mean this in a nihilistic way, think of a a kind of peaceful oneness with everything) is something that can be brought on by drug use, which is probably a hint of what Butty is talking about.Spend a bit of time focusing on it, and you'll notice it becomes deeper, more life affirming. The healthy way to breathe is so your belly falls on the in breath, comes in on the outbreath. Most of us don't do this, unless we make a concious effort. After a while it comes naturally.</blockquote>
