"The inhibition of breathing.
I am now reminded that among the Jesuit practices, they have an exercise where you have one word, and you breathe in and you breathe out. Now, think of it, you can imagine it is pretty mechanical; if you have a word, and you breathe in and you have a word and you breathe out - that is not normal breathing, it is structured. So in other words, we don’t breathe normally because we are conforming to a vast set of instructions society have given us over the last few thousands years: Don’t do that, do that, don’t do that... and so we have got a breathing environment which is damaging to our breathing, but it conforms to religious and moral and philosophical demands over a period of 2000 years"
