In yoga we talk about the ceasing of the “vrittis” of the “mind-field” – “vrittis” translates as vibrations or movements – so with mindfulness we calm the mind-field until all thought-constructs (and discursive thought) cease – and there is just awareness.

That will usually feel “deeper”.

Remember that Braid based his hypnotic inductions on yoga breathing and attention techniques….
