Breathing

QUESTION: Dhananjay?

Should I tell others about this website and Yoga? I want to let as many people know about it as possible because you are such a Guru. I want to help the world.

Is it wise to work, exercise, or even do intellectual work during digestion?

I turned a blind eye to a very many voices today. I enjoyed my day very much in the meantime, especially after giving testimony of Yoga in church, relating it to Christianity. There was a sort of power in not giving them attention. Also, I note another voice. He's directly in my head, toward the rear, and it is unlike any other. He doesn't come as often, but he did usually when I was about to do the right thing, after I did the right thing, or in order to prove the right thing to me. "Never second guess." Might it be my conscience? Maybe my God (or my Father in Heaven)!? There was a possibility of me being His Son, yet I'm not yet!?

ANSWER: 1. Do your Sadhana and be quiet.

2. Digestion occurs all by itself, in parallel. Not indulging in strenous physical activity for a while after a meal is advisable.

3. To hold on to the Atman (self) and be quiet is what is required. Everything else is to be ignored.

QUESTION: Sir?

This morning after my sadhana, or actually after my pranayama, I have been controlling my breath via my diaphragm ever since. I have been breathing less and I have had more concentration that I am actually widening as I go about my day. It's only been 3 hours. I feel that this is natural as according to your past instructions. I have been breathing less and am in more control of my body and mind. It seems that I use less oxygen and make use of the oxygen better. Is this closer to the atman?

My breathing is kind of tight, but I'm learning to let go of the tension as I still control it with less muscles.
