Mary Butts Diary Entry

Tuesday, 2 August 1921

 

 

 

Pranayama 10 minutes. Asana 75.

     

(i) as before—gradual tendency to lengthen time of breathe—but once lengthened, hard to maintain so long. (ii) very bad, hand slid off knee once, once scratched neck deliberately after insect bite. Kept falling asleep, and head sinking. Mantra wouldn’t ‘go’, but breathing helped it out.
