I also used to experience this feeling Immersion, then learned that it was because I was breathing too forcefully on round-breath trying to fully fill and empty my lungs each time. Everything seems to have cleared up since I started relaxing more and breathing less deeply and forcefully.
Me too. I find it difficult to sit up as it tends to hurt my legs/back and draw my focus away from the breath.SeekinTruth said:

I didn't think I had been, I've kept the breathing to a pace where my nose doesn't get sore/cold from the inhale. I'll go a little slower next time and see if it improves. If my hand isn't over it, it kind of feels like it's being pulled out of me, not the kind of beating out of your chest feeling you get from exercising too fast.
Added: Just seen your post Keyhole, I'll definitely take it easier tomorrow.
My self-healing book (which sprung from the Éiriú-Eolas program)
Greetings, fellow adventurers!
Thanks largely to the Éiriú-Eolas program, I have recently recovered from crippling, lifelong illness (it feels so strange to type that out; how can such a small sentence refer to such an enormous experience ...?). So, first, I would like to extend a "no words can express it" thank-you to all those who worked to create and distribute the program; you have done a good work, indeed. Second, I would like to mention the book I wrote following my healing (not advertise the book, just literally mention it; the book is free): Comeback: Lifelong Disease CURED, which chronicles my extensive journey through disease, then healing. The book details the healing protocol that ultimately worked for me (which was, interestingly, entirely intuitive on my part, after years of failed treatments attempted in a direct, "logical" way ...). More than anything, though, this book is my way of expressing my endless gratitude to all who contributed to my healing -- by passing along what I've been given, for what it's worth.
The eBook is downloadable for free from several vendors, with a PoD version available for the cost of printing. Link:

I did the full EE programme yesterday, I fell asleep during prayer of the soul and had the most awful nightmare. I was in my childhood garden and saw a comet streak across the sky. It's like I was a child again and proclaimed "woooow, this is so cool!" I started to go indoors to tell my parents and saw lights in the sky, I was terrified and started to run. All of a sudden I was paralyzed and felt myself being ripped away from reality. It's like the dream skipped and whatever happened was so horrific I blocked it out.
I then woke up in the dream, still terrified. I thought I was awake and tried to tell someone what had happened. A group of doctors came to take me away and were brutally rough with me like I was a dangerous crazy person. I woke up again in the dream and tried calling for help, saying to myself over and over "how do I know if I'm awake? How do I know if I'm awake?"
Finally I woke up for real, my heart beating so fast and still feeling utterly crippled with fear. I thought what a horrible experience to have 2 nights in a row, even though I have no recollection of having had the same dream the night before. I felt like I had been drugged and had slight psychadellic shapes moving in the darkness of my sight, like if you had taken too much melatonin and felt groggy the next day.
I'm accustomed to nightmares and can usually shake them off easily knowing they were just a dream but this one felt so WRONG like it had been a real experience. I stayed up for an hour reading just to settle myself till I felt ok to go back to sleep. I remember thinking that if I ever had a dream so scary again I would rather never dream again. It seems so silly now in the light of day but it was truly awful. I felt so alone and scared when I woke up.
I remember reading that nightmares are a way of releasing negative emotions so I'm guessing it was just that on an epic scale.

Whoa, lainey, this sounds really awful 
It also sounds, like it may have been a big emotional release of some kind, maybe from childhood? Especially, as it came just after an EE session?
Last week I did have a really awful dream too, about a bunch of devilish or demonic kids who played a lot of scary jokes. It has been in a garden area too. I think, they threw fire, but can't remember exactly. Then I woke up with my heart beating really fast. In the dark then it seemed, that a presence was there. After switching on light, this sensation went away. I lay there awake for a while and tried to do POTS, which was difficult at first but became easier later. It was quite an intense nightmare. But yours sounds even more scary. I can fully relate to you. Wishing you much better dreams for the upcoming night(s).

This sounds like a nasty experience! but as you said, it does sound like a processing of negative emotions. It's even worse when you go through "dreams" as in you're questioning whether you're awake or not.
I tend to find that I have nightmares when I fall asleep during EE. I had one the other night where I was in the back of a car with an old work friend and a guy was driving, I was really scared for some reason thinking there was someone trying to get us on the roads. We ended up driving really fast in a somewhat dark and gloomy atmosphere. Then, I blacked out (in the dream) and woke up in pitch black (I didn't even know you could have a "pitch black" part of a dream) and I was trapped inside a box, shouting for the friend that was in the car with me. I tried to move around in this box but it was so tightly packed. I then felt around and found a body next to me, what felt like flesh anyway. I woke myself up because I was so afraid, and was nearly crying when I awoke.
Nightmares are really powerful, especially with the whole aspect of fear and anxiety..
Yes, they really have the ability to drag the deepest emotions out of your subconscious. I've woken up crying a few times in dreams. On the other hand I have had dreams where I have felt so elated and safe and happy, so it's not all bad. I remember one dream where I was in a pub in this big sky castle where all lucid dreamers went to meet up. I was literally like a child, running around and talking to everyone saying "Isn't this cool!! We are all dreaming!!" and everyone felt like family. A couple of us went swimming together and we knew we could breathe underwater. It was awesome.Lilyalic said:
I think that negative emotions are something we need to have in order to balance something inside so although the experience was awful, I welcome it in a way.
I'm not sure if this is the reason but it might have something to do with posture? I was reading this article about how it puts your hips out of alignment (this is for sitting up leg crossing but I guess it falls under the same principles)davey72 said:

I can't answer, why legs or ankles should not be crossed during POTS. All I can say from my experience is, that I can relax much better, while not crossing any limbs; and whatever "flows" during POTS, does so much better. Just my few cents..
And Lainey, thank you very much for bringing this article up. I use to sit cross-legged on my chair, while being on my desk. I Haven't been aware, which problems may be involved with that. So, something more to pay attention to.

This could be a reason, yes. I always thought that it was to make the point that you should be as comfortable as possible instead of trying to make any position associated with meditation, such as crossing the legs. I think the most important thing is to be comfortable, whether it is sitting, laying down on the bed, on the floor, etc... whatever works best for you. OSIT.
I actually took part in a guided meditation once and when we were being "brought back" we were told to cross out ankles. Maybe it helps to wake you up or like Nienna said block an energy flow. Perhaps there are acupressure points where the legs would cross that would be activated? Worth some further research, I'll see if I can find anything.Yas said:
