Transformation und Atem

For readers who are not familiar with the work and the aims of Sri Aurobindo, The Mother and Ilse Middendorf, I would like to give an overview in this chapter of the basics upon which my proposals for practical work are based. For a more advanced view I recommend the last book by Sri Aurobindo ‘The Manifestation of the Supramental’ first published in 1948. A fine survey of the entire canon is to be found in the newly written volume by Satprem titled:
‘Sri Aurobindo or the Adventure of Consciousness’.

In order to comprehend – or better to be able to live what the Experience of Breath (after Middendorf) is all about, I would recommend first of all to take part in a five-day basics seminar “The Experience of Breath” (and only then if necessary to read about it.)
