Inasmuch as we can define NIRVANA as

• learning to relax into the absorption of deep sleep

• while still viewing the Self with Kind Regard,

Perhaps...

• if we copy one behavior that some people do in deep sleep,

  • i.e. snoring,

• we might achieve the same result? (ie, Nirvana?)

When I first tried snoring,

• I discovered that the sounds easily adapted to the French words "mon coeur" (my heart) -- as follows:

  • INHALE: (mouth/nose snore) mon

  • EXHALE (gargling the French 'R') coeur

Then I discovered that God's name is HENRI

• SMILE and throw your head back.

• INHALE: SNORE, thru nose and mouth, throwing head back and saying "ONG" in throat with nostrils aquiver

• EXHALE: "HREE, " gargling a French "R" from the same area of throat.

This definitely sparkles up the insides.

NOTES:

• The head must be held back for the full circle effect (where the SNORE meets the GARGLE with a SMILE!) of keeping the mouth and throat in the same position on exhale and inhale.

• This is a refinement of a 45-minute oming session I did on camera with Sufi poet Daniel Moore in '68 for KQED TV, which ended in loud snores on inhale and motorboating lips on exhale.

• If you prefer to evoke the Goddess, try "Henriette" instead of "Henri."
