The body knows how to breathe without anyone doing the breathing. Sometimes it can come to a standstill. I haven't sat with that breathlessness for long, though, as I said, I 'overthunk it'.
The other point about that state of no bliss or pleasure or pain is also very interesting, and I've touched on that a couple of times, but only when meditating on extended retreats, and I'm not sure if that can realistically be a continuous state in anyone's life - but I like to think so.
I have no Idea what Dyana means, though.

Yes I relate to this. I did the same thing when it first happened. Went "****e I am not breathing" and so then I breathed again..lol..The mind can be tricky in this space, cos we like to know we are breathing..
I love the hardly any/slight breath space, so deeply relaxing.
