Zephyr across the plains' grasses: The ecology of breathing, of steadiness or calmness, of the bodymind, via bagpiping and Yoga, Breathing is a fascinating approach to learning, Music and the neurophysiology of bliss vis-a-vis breathing


In bagpiping, I've recently become newly aware of the ecology of breathing, of steadiness or calmness, of the bodymind, of knowing the tunes ...

(For example, if your breathing, reflecting your bodymind, isn't steady because you haven't learned how to breathe by building stamina or 'control,' because the instrument's reeds are a little challenging, the tunes don't flow; similarly, if the tunes are challenging, this becomes reflected in the breathing and bodymind expressions, such as fingering. All of this are expressions of the ecology of breathing when bagpiping, involving learning a code or symbols - the notes - as well).


These are all things yoga offers ways to learn, too, in a different way ...

as well as the neurophysiology of bliss.


{I get to bliss more fulsomely and readily with musical tones, than I do with yoga}.


Breathing is a fascinating approach to learning ...

and its 'ecology' is particularly fascinating ...


... in some ways, this is a reflection of getting the 'flow' experiences (absorbed mind, challenge at the right level, per Csikszentmihalyi) right with bliss as a goal ...


with an invitation to wiki teach and learn about the ecology of breathing here at the Yoga page {and breathing pages to come} at WUaS ...
