Not only do i use headphones but i do the whole programs lying down. I have a scoliosis of the spine that makes it hard for me to do the whole program while sitting down. I tried it and it makes me too uncomfortable, so i prefer to do it laying down. I don't know if it's allright to do it this way but i seem to get the same sensations as the others like zoning out sometimes, feelings of tingling... etc.
From what I have read from Laura's posts, it doesn't matter what position we are in, only that we are comfortable.
I have to do the pipe breathing standing up, do the warrior's breath and part of the baha sitting in a chair with my legs crossed yoga-style, then sit with my feet on a chest in front of me during the rest of the baha. Then, for the meditation/prayer, I lie down. I have to move into different positions because I cannot sit/stand/lay in any one postition because of pain. So the main thing, I think, is to just be able to do it and to be comfortable so that we can concentrate on what we are doing with as little distraction as possible.

Last week i had a feeling of pressure on the forehead and it was not during the program, but at work while working. the only time i have felt this was the first time i did the EE program. Has anyone felt this yet? it's like a pulsating pressure that lasts 3-4 sec at different times.
The first few times I did the whole program, I had a very heavy feeling, like someone poking their finger in the "third eye" position of my forehead. I even had to stop what I was doing at one point and touch that spot wondering if something physical was there, it was such a heavy feeling. But it has now subsided.
We all are feeling and receiving exactly what each of us needs at any given time that we are doing the breathing/meditation program. And some effect are felt in between the times we do these things. So don't worry, you aren't alone in this. :)

Last thursday, i came home from work with a pounding headache because they used chemichals to clean the place. I was not really in the mood to do the EE but i told myself i would do only the pipe breathing and the pots because i didn't want to put pressure especially with the warriors breath with my headache. As i started, i found it difficult but i managed to do the pipe B, then i convinced myself and decided to do the warriors B anyway. It went well actually. During the ba-ha i found it long and hard as my headache was stilll there but i held on. It was during the pots that, after i had zoned out a couple of times, i realized that my headache was completely gone. I don't know about you but it works in mysterious way and maybe it is not only for the emotionnal cleansing.
I have to agree with you. I think that there is a lot more going on in many different ways. And since the pipe breathing is relaxing and so is the meditation, by the end of the pots, everything may have just worked the tension and cleared away the toxins enough so that your headache just floated away.
This is an amazing thing, or so I think.
