Éiriú-Eolas - Breathing Program
drazen:
Report: In last 2 months there was no significant changes with doing EE except that I reduced Ba-Ha part to once a week. All stages of breathing, PotS and meditation are proceeding good. In some days, when I skip doing EE because of my busy work schedule and other obligations at home, I feel lacking of oxygen, short-breathing and only I can do is pipe-breathing 12 rounds only which really helps instantly to 'fuel' your body and mind :).

Hello, All; I've been doing EE for about six weeks and would like to share my experiences.
I went through a bit of a rocky start by doing too much too quickly, instead of adhering to the suggested regimen. I recognize now that this sort of obsessive overdoing of a thing is a product of an unfounded feeling of inadequacy, a defect in thinking that generates fears of being hopelessly behind, that I must catch up, etcetera, that has dogged me my entire life. I credit EE for my being able to achieve this small but helpful introspective observation.
The rocky start mainly involved a resistance to the round breathing that manifested as muscular tension, a feeling of being extremely overheated and some sort of irrational fear of being short of usable breath. These discomforts failed to manifest on my fifth complete excercise, and I had a cathartic experience at the beginning of the meditation portion that lasted for about two hours, during which I was able to see quite clearly how many of my actions in this life had been terribly self-serving and caused deep and lasting pain to others. From that point on to the present, I've had a few teary-eyed episodes toward the end of meditations, mostly generated by feelings of peaceful gratitude, and a couple of times I've been jolted out of meditation by a convulsive muscle contraction in my left leg (not painful, but whaaa?).
In the last two weeks I've realized that I'm falling asleep much more easily at night, I'm sleeping more soundly and awakening more quickly and completely. During the day, I'm more focused and tuned in to the work/pleasure of continuing my learning about this business of life and being. Better at sleeping, better at being awake; what's not to love?
And one of the best things is this: practicing EE does not feel like a chore, it's a good and pleasant exercise that I greatly enjoy.
Thank you to all of you whom have made EE available, and these positive changes in my life possible.

Yeah, I get that from time to time as well. One possibility is that the body is restructuring itself as toxins are being released - this applies to not only the emotional but the physical as well.
Really glad to hear you're experiencing some benefits overall. Many thanks for the update. :)

Thanks for the summary of your experience with EE, engagedinattempting. Good to hear you're "getting into the groove" and seeing benefits. :) By the way, BA-HA was a bit hard in the beginning to get used to for me and others, as well.

Just wanted to add that I've had that, as well...same leg! I took an herb and mineral formula that my doctor gave me for soft tissue support and it never returned. I don't have it with me to share the ingredients, because I'm on the road---if anyone asks, I'll post it later on.
