Well that is the problem, there is no dentist on my rock properly equipped to extract amalgam fillings.
I heard there is a visiting dentist from UK which specializes in this and I am looking into this.

For those wanting to remove mercury fillings you may want to check out the local dental schools. They usually have the most recent techniques and equipment with lab on site. So it is worth a short. Due to cuts my insurance no longer covers dental I had little choice. So, I changed dentist and have been going to the dental school at the local university for over a year now. One of my first questions was about removing my old amalgam fillings. I have a dental student assigned and two experienced dentists that did a through consult and plan for removing them. They planned it out over months-still ongoing for me- because they said it is safer. Even if a student does most of the work, the experienced dentists help with everything the student does and I don't leave until two department heads examine me and sign off on my treatment. So I usually have three people working on me and sometimes others readily available for consult. The labs are also in the building so they can fix whatever I need on site rather than me waiting and spending a lot of money like I did when I had my private dentists. The equipment is amazing! They have no problems with using porcelain and in fact they recommended it with a step by step process that includes using a dental dam and nose hood to protect me from mercury during removal. My private dentist did not go through all of that. The cost is also reasonable enough for me to pay out of pocket.

Thank you, and I'm sorry if my second post came off as complaining. :-[ :-[ Its difficult to know where to ask for help at the moment.

For what it's worth, I never thought for a minute that you sounded like you were complaining.

We are all here for each other. We all need to talk about things and get them out in the open. If we all can help each other with our loads, the loads become lighter. :)

I just wanted to second this Gimpy. This fear that others will think we're complaining is just another method of keeping us isolated. By giving a voice to your thoughts, you help others who are also afraid to speak up.

You asked this question:

...how hard is it to sit and breath, really?
Nienna gave some really good advice. Be gentle with yourself during this time.

When I first started doing EE, it was really easy for me. Only recently have the thoughts started to creep in like "You can do this later." Stuff like that. What keeps me going now is knowing that I'm not just doing this for myself, but also for those having trouble doing it as well as those who don't know anything about it. What has also helped is seeing in bits and pieces how people are gradually starting to change for the better. This lets me know I'm on the right track.
 
Well this must be the first time that I’ve not listened to Laura’s voice during PotS for a whole week; whilst away, my iPod decided that it had no energy – the battery was dead, despite charging it up earlier (a true state of my physical, mental, and emotional condition? …or something else?). Nevertheless, my verbal renditions sufficed. One thing that I did notice was dehydration – even when other than walking out in the hills.

Lise Bourbeau in Your body’s telling you: Love yourself! said:
DEHYDRATION
EMOTIONAL BLOCK
Metaphysically, water is related to the emotional body. Dehydration means you have cut yourself off from feeling anything – more specifically, feeling good about yourself. Yet allow yourself to be depleted by what goes on around you and in many cases, by obsessive thinking.
MENTAL BLOCK
Water is one of the most important things in a person’s life. Without it, one cannot live long (same as love). You must learn to feel love for yourself and when you achieve this, you’ll want to drink more water. …

I can relate to cutting myself off from feeling anything, that’s history. Wanting to drink more water indicating achieving feeling love for my-self, thus appears a good thing, so I’m taking dehydration as progress on the emotional front.

Further success, from either, or, or various combinations of, the E-E Breathing-Meditation programme, detoxing diets, supplements, FIR sauna sessions shows evidence of further progress; the dry skin on the knuckles of both of my hands has returned to normal condition.

My direct experiences of the E-E Breathing-Meditation, for the past two weeks are similar to my last report, tears running down my face during PotS, and additionally, micro-zoning outs.
 
I have nearly completed a web-site for my wife's Yoga classes around South East London, and we were wondering if we could have your permission to post a link to the The Eíriú-Eolas Breathing Program site and perhaps to RPP UK too?

There is one thing that worries me though. My jaws are full of mercury. Have some really chunky fillings in the 5ths and 6ths. My dentist explained that removing them would be immense risk for him and me with all the vapors. And also he recons that white fillings wouldn't be strong enough for the back teeth.
I am not so sure what to do.

Forget about your old dentist, SK! Just start asking around for dentist that do practice mercury fillings removal with the proper equipment, they're rare but not impossible to find.

White fillings are now much stronger and resistant than before, any up-to-date dentist can tell you that, so very likely your dentist isn't really keeping up with new dental treatment technologies. Then if your teeth are really in a so bad shape, you probably need a capsule for replacing the teeth structure.

Note that black fillings do react badly with troubled teeth by consuming the organic material, and that can lead to severe inflammation. You won't have an old black filling oxidizing near the tooth's nerve either :-/

If you're lucky enough, you'll may find a dentist truly dedicated to the anti-black fillings movement and ask for a discount ;-) if they don't already have cheaper prices for new clients in the need for a major mouth detox.
 
*There is no better time than the present*

Is the first thought that crosses my mind as I begin to type to any who wish to read what I share.

To really explain how EE has opened many wounds and repressed emotions for me I feel that I must share my background first. I just joined the forum on the 1st of April this year. I have been reading the wave and doing EE as of November of last year. After many times of "putting it off" and allowing distractions, I put all of the distractions aside. Took my son to school (4yrs old) and the focus of the day...- to really put all of my energy and self into learning and practice of this program.

Much of the reasons as to why I had put aside the books and the EE was that I knew I was going to be facing the shadow of loads of pain, trauma and truth that I had faced in my past but of course only in a small pinnacle and very fragmented part of what I knew and felt I would be facing here, by doing the breath work and reading the wave. I was done with unanswered questions.

As far as my past goes... I was born into a family that was verbally abusive, controlling, physical abuse, psychological and also plenty of anomalies and haunting of spirits/ visions of balls of light and other demons through out my life. Along with that, I was sexually abused at 10 or 11 years old, physically bulled by boys from the age of 7 through about 13 and physically abused by nannies through starvation and beatings. I am in no way posting this information for pitty but just to share where I am coming from and why I shyed away.
My way of healing during my youth was to sing, chant (NA chants) and to play the flute. I had music as my escape form the pain/reality... that was not enough. Into my adult life I began learning and practice of Yoga and mediation at six-teen years and then put it aside in the distractions that came with college and people. I had a few relationships and some were positive and distracting yet growth came from most. One in particular with a psychopath (father to my child) that was physically and verbally abusive. After four years now of freedom from that past, I still knew that there was pain from that I had to let go of and heal from.
I just jumped in knowing full well that EE would bring all this to the surface. On the first attempt I did yoga, and afer looking and observing the video twice I did the full program. My thoughts where mainly on what my body was telling me, my breathing and really listening to every word that Laura was saying. One thing I do differently than on the video is that I lay down with the pillow and blanket through out the Bah Hah and into the POTS. When doing this I feel a numbing of the fingers, coldness of hands and feet and a sort of “O” like shape that my face goes into uncontrollablly along with a sort of tingle or energy feeling going up through my spine and into the forehead area. This intensifies thought out the Baaa- Haa’s. I journey through waves of emotions... first come the yawns, then the laughter... then a great angry shout, growl like within me that felt good to release. From then, more laughter... and then the tears. Oh the tears just streamed on down my face like a river of pain flowing out of my body. Yet, it felt liberating and definitely cleansing. As Laura says the prayer of the soul I say it in my mind and really think about what the words mean and what I am asking for. I truly, fully ask DCM. “Give me the eyes to see the truth... Etc. By the end of the prayer I sort of feel like I am floating and also pay attention the sensations that are going on in my body and the emotions or thoughts in my mind. ( For the first couple of times I had a sort of panic feeling that I could not go on, but keep on going.) I usually talked myself through it at first. I come through after Laura’s counting to five... I sort of stayed there for a while... eyes closed really taking in all the sensations then I slowly opened my eyes... A feeling of warmth, love and oneness/connection to all living things filled me and I cried some more. Happy yet sad but necessary to release.

Through out the times from my first try it is similar to that and others it is just a deep floating like sleep where I go deep down into a relaxation and feel as if I am not heavy in my body. Not really like sleeping... b/c I am aware and hear everything that is going on around me. When I do get distracted by my son, I wake up happy and one time he came in right after the count to five and I felt great sorrow for bringing him into this madness and the pain from the abusive relationship and being “food for the moon” and also grateful for his presence. I cried of course for quite some time. He comforted me I felt and feel blessed to have him in my life. It was very healing. During a week when a friend died. I had depression and memories of walking in on my mother trying to commit suicide and all the verbal/physical abuse from her came to surface. I cried and cried for about a week it was extremely exhausting yet I felt better after words for releasing it. I know I still have much more healing to do just from this life... and I am willing to keep on doing breath work and facing it all. To heal. I aim to do EE at least three times a week. I also found that talking to my family and healing with each other from that past of course is a wonderful way to mend old wounds. My mother is least open to it but for the most part she has taken some baby steps in facing the past she denies and moving on as a more loving and understanding mother. My father and I have healed from a lot of past abuse to each other and he is now reading the wave.

I am very greatful to all of who have brought this form of healing to us and hope it helps many more who want to jump into this amazing way of healing.
 
Hey Pandora,

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story and let you know that I'm really sorry for what you went through in the past. I also want to say to hang in there and keep doing the EE as it will help you to heal further.
 
Welcome to the forum Pandora I am glade to hear you doing the EE and healing yourself. And I am also Sorry for the struggle you went
through in your past.

I was wondering if it would be wise to do the breathing every week at morning or night. Because when I do this I seem to have less energy
when I do the breathing. Like I will have shortness of breath very shallow breathing and some times have to stop to catch my breath.

But I think at first I was doing the breathing wrong I would breath in and out very fast and not monitor my breath. But now I have slowed
down and focus more on my breath and not the results. So now I have very shallow breath and shortness of breath.
 
Welcome to the forum and EE breathing program, Pandora. Thank you for sharing your experiences and I hope your healing progresses steadily. Please remember to network here if you have any problems. This type of networking really works.
 
It was actually quite healing to just write my experience with EE. Thank you to those who are or do read it and sharing your information and warmth. For the most part I have bounced back and been rather strong through the struggles of what came but of course some memories and depression is repressed and I know the journey is still a long one. I also learned early in life that there are many others that are going through worse in their lives and am grateful for the lessons and the great times as well. There is work to do.

I was considering doing the breath work at night before I go to bed... curious of what the dream world may entail. Thank you for the suggestions!

Celtic, i had this happen to me at times but i would just stop once i got shortness of breath and then relax breath normally and start all over again. I think for most it is difficult to adjust to this at first due it not being a usual breathing pattern. As a child i would think of my belly as the balloon while i play the flute and fill it.. and still think of it that way when i do the breathing. Also when exhaling on the 9 count I slowly exhale the air in a gradual manner all the way to where i let every bit out and round the back deep into the pelvic area and release all the air. Hold it. I push myself due to yoga but you do what you feel most comfortable doing. Then gradually breath in to my belly balloon. sounds silly but it helps me. Over all the stomach is a muscle and like every part of our body you work at it and it strengthens and forms to what you need it to do. I am sure you are aware of this though. :)

Hi Pandora. In belly breathing (deep diaphragmatic breathing) one is not supposed to expand the belly by any muscular activity. When the diaphragm can descend freely (flatten) it pushes down the intestines/gut, thus making the belly expand. The only thing that you should 'do' with the stomach is to relax it. Let the air do the rest! By 'manipulating' the belly outwards one can have the impression that one is breathing correctly, and I know from experience that wrongly executed breathing patterns can be hard to change. So it's wise to do them correctly from the beginning :)

Maybe you were just mixing up 'stomach' and 'diaphragm'? In any case I just thought I'd share my current understanding on how this works.
 
Hi Pandora, thanks for sharing. :)

I do this too, have done for a very long time. My understanding is that as long as you are comfortable this is ok. Doing it sitting up can be quite different, but I find it easier laying down.

Its suggested that you do the last part of the full meditation, the meditation part (a few pipe breaths followed by the Prayer of the Soul) before sleep. I have been doing this for many months now, and when things where getting too much (severe fatigue and depression) I just did this every night before sleep....the full program was too much at the time (it was stirring up too many past wounds).
This has been really healing just on its own. Whats more is its gentle, and most of the healing goes on in the background/ at some other level.
Being gentle on yourself is one of the most important things to do.

Oh, it is also useful tho know that if you are getting too much high strangeness in your life, bad dreams, depression or fatigue that you miss out the Ba-Ha/round breathing part of the program....and if that's still to much stop the full program and just do the pipe breathing and Prayer of the Soul before sleep.
