Meditation during Pranayama Breath Infusion

Yogeshwarananda is of the opinion that those who excel in pranayama breath infusion practice, those who advance sufficiently in that to realize how the subtle body ingests subtle energy, should take the opportunity to meditate while doing breath infusion.

Special states of consciousness happen during breath infusion. One should stop regularly during practice to meditate, instead of hurrying through breath infusion with intentions to meditate after a session.

There should be meditation after a session but there should also be absorption of higher states during the breath infusion session as well. The meditation should be such that there are sublime memories formed from the practice. These can be used during the meditation that follows to keep the psyche in higher states or to make the psyche abandon trivial memories which it is accustomed to retrieving.
