Éiriú-Eolas - Breathing Program

[Ollie]

Hi davey72

Davey, you shouldn't push yourself too much in that matter, in doing the beatha portion, it is just one part of the program and even NOT the most important one. You quoted the C's, sometimes the answers from the C's don't count for every single person, cause every individual has a different learning curve. As always, there is right and there is wrong and the specific (individual) situation. That means everyone carries their load and sometimes it is needed that some lessons need to be solved first.

I've been doing the EE breathing meditation programme since it started nearly two years ago, for a large part of that, approx one year, I stopped doing the Beatha part, and only recently restarted when I could cope with the effects. There is a lack of rush, as Legolas states, just by doing three stage breathing and PotS you will achieve a lot - safely - solving necessary lessons first.

A curious week, on Monday, I experienced wet eyes during three stage breathing and Beatha. Most nights, on awakening to visit the bathroom, I have wet eyes – pipe breathing and PotS recited before sleep. On Thursday I was yawning and had wet eyes during three stage breathing, and for a change, I did Beatha lying down rather than sitting. Whilst doing this I experienced a lot of tears and what felt like cramp in my left hip joint area. From a metaphysical perspective:

Left side of body – Represents receptivity, taking in, feminine energy, women, the mother .

Cramps – Tension. Fear. Gripping, holding on.

Hip(s) – Carries the body in perfect balance. Major thrust in moving forward.

and

CRAMPS
EMOTIONAL BLOCK
Cramping of any part of the body indicates a fear and a desire to grab hold of someone or something.

MENTAL BLOCK
Be aware of which part of the body is actually experiencing the painful muscle contraction and what that part is used for. If the cramp is in your leg, you are probably afraid to o ahead with a project or to go to work. What or whom do you want to cling to so tightly? The fear and tension you feel are causing you to feel contracted instead of experiencing a relaxed state of mind. For further information and clarity, look up the affected body part.

HIP PROBLEMS
EMOTIONAL BLOCK
As the hip initializes the walking process, pain in this joint signifies difficulty or resistance to going forward or taking steps towards your heart’s desire. The underlying attitude is “This isn’t going to work!” or ”Nothing will ever be right again if I do things this way!” You hesitate to get involved with someone or something that pertains to your future, because you are afraid it will all be for naught.

You may be saying to yourself: ”This work is doing nothing for me anymore’ or ”I’m not getting anywhere in life.” If the pain is … If, on the other hand, the pain occurs while sitting or lying down, it is a message from your body that you will not allow yourself to relax and regenerate when you need to.

MENTAL BLOCK
Whether the pain is mild or intense will be determined by the degree of your defeatist attitude. Examine the situation you are facing and make a decision. Then take steps confidently in that direction. As you move forward, you will know whether it was a good decision for you. If you change your mind don’t worry, you’ll know what to do. You need to open yourself to new experiences in order to distinguish what you want from what is actually good for you. The belief ”It won’t work!” is not going to help you do that.

Rather than feel you aren’t getting anywhere, try instead to be more aware of your progress. If you still feel you’re not making any headway, ask those close to you whether or not they see any advancement. Be more flexible in your thinking and approach change with confidence, rather than fear. Remember that here are no mistakes in life – only experiences!

And then whilst listening to PotS, I had what felt like cramp in the little toe of my left foot.

Interestingly, to compound the problem, I’d experienced a similar problem in my right (metaphysically = giving out, letting go) big toe the previous week whilst walking in the mountains. Metaphysically:

Toes – Represents the minor details of the future.

and

TOE PROBLEMS
EMOTIONAL BLOCK
As feet facilitate movement through life, the toes represent your perception of the details of this progression. Most problems experienced with the toes prevent you from walking freely and with ease, indicating a manifestation of fear linked to moving forward, or of the future. You are overly concerned with details that prevent you from seeing the bigger picture in a given situation. You can’t see the forest for the trees. As a result, you become out of touch with your desires and bit by bit, lose momentum.

The big toe is the one most often affected, as it takes the brunt of abuse. Since h big toe gives direction to the others, problems with it represent regret or guilt about the direction or decision you want to take. Such guilt will impact your future.

MENTAL BLOCK
The discomfort in your toe is a message that you need to get back in touch with what you want for your future and not allow yourself to become mired in details. Understand that it is perfectly normal to be afraid of the unknown and that only through action will you be able to determine what is beneficial to you. When you are tangled in details, you impede your progress and block yourself from achieving your goals, usually out of fear. Whatever your goals, any regret or guilt you are carrying will only serve to magnify your fears. Remember: there are no mistakes; there are only experiences that will be useful in your future.

So, what is all this telling me? It’s about future progression, of fear in moving forward, and a lot of internal considering. Details are about doubt (fear, internal considering), which is about anticipation (internal considering). Was I working on this during PotS last night?

Most of this week I’ve been researching an important new project that I’m about to start, one that will differ slightly from how I’d thought I’d initially set it up. As a consequence it will bring a lot of ‘known’ buffers (and fears) into play – things that I’ve other than enjoyed doing in the past – so it’ll be a real ‘stretch’ for me. It will move me out of what would have been in my comfort zone into something much, much more personally challenging. The initial set up would’ve been well inside in my comfort zone. It is in fact going back to a situation that I’d previously decided was not for me based on past experience, and hence a delay in getting started. Is this where the regret and guilt comes in? Beating my-self up?

Letting go, there is it is cropping up again, flexibility and ‘real-self’ confidence is required in practice.

Certainly taking time to relax and regenerate has been a message that my body/gut feeling’s been telling me about for the past year. Yet I still tend to ignore it for the most part, on the basis that there’s so much to do in such a short time. In fact, the last week spent in the mountains was an action to do this and to decide on the way forward, of how to work against my Chief Feature.

As for getting in touch with what I want for my future, this ‘diversion of taking me out of my comfort zone’ is in fact a necessary requirement to go though, to get to where I want to go, to reach a level of confidence, competence, and what I perceive as my Life’s role, or purpose in life – to coach and guide people. It’s how I’d like to be with people and how I’d like to work with people. It’s also something that I’d decided to do whilst in the hills, to get out of my comfort zone – something I often did in the mountains last week! In fact, for most of this month I’ve been working, on another project, stretching my-self outside of my comfort zone beneficially. And it worked, I realized I could do it and in fact can do more. Progress in action.

Take note: ‘The hermit is coming out of his cave’ to interact with the outside world, beneficially for others.

The old hermit is transforming by the Way of the Fool.

I guess i was just really wanting to get on with it, as i was feeling quite good doing it, and also, i am kinda hoping to begin teaching it one day when i am ready. Like with everything in my life, i seem to want everything all at once. Something i need to keep looking at, i suppose.

Patience. You have enough on your plate right now. Focus on getting clean - first - ALL of your energy should be placed on that. Utilize the three stage breathing, the warriors breath and the POTS - those are all very powerful. Focus on what is before you right now - getting completely clean and staying that way. Stop fretting about time, it does you no good and is a waste of energy.

 

[davey72]

This is why i wanted to network this question. That, and the fact that the person i was speaking with has a lot on their plate, as well, and was asking me to network the forum instead.
Thank you all. Is it not true that we will get to a point that we will no longer be able to do anything to help ourselves, concerning the coming of the wave? At what point will this be?

I had a snooze that i just awoke from, and had a dream.
I was sleeping on a bed, and awoke. I started by experimenting with keeping one of my eyes closed while i was wakening, and thinking how awful it would be to awake and be blind. I then realized that my eyesight really was obstructed but, if i lifted my eyelid out of the way, i could then see. It was swollen. At this point i decided i was hungry. I looked for something to eat. All mi could find were vegetables, So i decided that i would go downstairs where i remembered there was some junk food instead.

I think this signifies that i am still partially blind to the work, but mostly by choice. At least regarding my food choices. there is a lot of gluten, and casien in the food here. Maybe i should be hoarding the good foods, and foregoing some other things. I already gained fifteen pounds in the time i have been here. I will start to put these things in the swamp, as i realize it is probably inapropriate here. MODS: feel free to move this if needed.
Point being. I think i am awakening exponentially, and it really only started like this when i started doing the three stage breathing, including the Beatha breathing. third night here i awoke crying, but it really felt good. I suppose this is why i really want to get on with it. That , and i don't wanna miss the boat, for lack of a better term.

Interesting,when i was doing the beatha , a few times my right forearm, including the hand would get numb, followed by the right, and then by the time i was into the meditation, it would be gone. Also i was experiencing, almost violent spasms imn my eyes, while doing it the odd time.

davey72... , but I want to wish you well with getting clean. You are so brave to face this demon. I know what you are going through. I have been there and it is possible to kick it. So go for it with all you have.

One day at a time. One second at a time.

One of the best pieces of advice I got was to chase my sobriety with as much effort as I chased my addictions. So I scored meetings all the time. Had sobriety buddies to run with... but to meetings instead. I did and said what ever I had to, to stay sober. Just like scoring. Hope this helps.

EE today... I felt heat in my hands and fore head. I felt so tingly during breatha, I thought I was going to pass out a little.

Hi cubbex, it can be described if someone is really out of touch with reality has a brain chemical imbalance. Like psychotic disorder, schizophrenic disorder and borderline, would fall under this category.

thank you for that. i appreciate it. Nobody , especially the Dr's want to give any hope at all. When i told the Dr my plan, he basically said that it would be impossible, as starting as young as i did, my brain chemistry is set, and there is absolutely no way for me to change it. I know deep down that this is not true, but it sure is discouraging.

EDIT: also, yes, it is off topic, and this is the last time i will bring this up on this thread. sorry

Some doctors prefer to be pessimistic so that their patients may be pleasantly surprised if all goes well in the end rather than have a patient blaming them for a failure and for being too optimistic.
Also bear in mind that this would not be the first doctor to be wrong. I know several people who had been 'condemned' by Western medecine/doctors and who, years later, are still there and in perfect health.. .
To be fair, he probably draws his conclusions from previous cases and he knows it's hard, but everybody is different and he does not know about EE nor the powerful detox and diet info (not to mention the network) you find on this forum.

Hang on in there, Davey.

Doctors also use statistics. Which do not take into consideration, as Mrs. Tigersoap said...

The EE has helped my a great deal with my addictive behaviors Davey72. I look back and can see I was still binge drinking and smoking 'stuff' to self medicate. I am so grateful to be free of this. I really think it is the forum's help, with advice, diet and EE etc. as nothing else in my life has worked so well. I have tried many ways, with all the sincerity I could muster. But since finding the forum, my life has really turned around.

Keep on keepin on Davey72. :)

Last night while I was doing some pipe breathing and POTS, I was saying to my attachments to leave. I was also really concentrating on really getting the constriction right, and I felt a deep feeling all through my body that was really relaxing. I do feel better today.

At yesterdays EE I did fall asleep during beatha already and for the prayer I went to bed. I only saw a few pictures at the beginning of beatha. Maybe cause I did work too much over the weekend and needed to rest, with some more sleeping hours than usual.

Last night while I was doing the BA HA, I perceived in my mind my favorite perfume that I use frequently. It was so real and strong! A message to myself ? :)
