We might say that, this or any paradox exists only as a human thought and in this case, we cannot understand think how these opposites can exist together; yet in reality, that is not burdened by thought, this is our experience. Thus watching the breath is one way to experience these things. Pranayama , or Yogic breath control, is very popular in traditional and modern forms of Yoga.
