In the past I have felt that the Baha part was too long and was wishing it to be over or at times stopping as my nose felt like it couldn't cope with the amount of air that was trying to pass in and out. This week I have found myself surprised to hear Laura's voice and the pots session beginning. At last the Baha has begun to be an established and welcome part of EE.
Just a quick check Liberty but you are breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth right? The whole EE program works that way.
Sorry Pete, must have been a Freudian slip, just thinking nose but yes I am breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth. The problem for me has been about a restriction or perceived restriction in my right nostril, since practising the full EE this week daily I have found that my right nostril has cleared and feels like it has the same capabilities of the left nostril. Which feels a lot more balanced and beneficial. This I hope will follow into the ears with repeated breathing.
When I was 9 years old I had my adenoids removed and my sinus drained as I had suffered with severe headaches for over a year. The experience of this operation was quite traumatic at the time due to the hospital procedure. My parents booked me into hospital and then left immediately, picking me up the following day. I was not prepared for this, I felt alone and abandoned, after the operation I sicked up loads of blood and felt rotten. A minor detail at the time was being forced to wear a hospital night shirt, this shirt tied up at the back but not properly so revealed your backside as soon as you got out of bed. I found this an unnecessary and embarassing situation.
I will need to spend a lot more time reading through the various threads on sinus problems as many folk on the forum seem to have suffered but wanted to respond intially. I also will benefit from Peter Levines book the "Unspoken Voice"which is on order.
My headaches disappeared but the following year I was ill for 8 weeks with glandular fever and on a course of antibiotics. Helping my body to recover from this took many, many years and it was only in my twenties that I spent 6 months doing an anti candida diet, which really helped clear my system. I have only once had to take antibiotics since due to blood poisoning.
This morning I woke suddenly from a dream. I gently rubbed my right nostril with my hand and a bee came out. It just sat on my hand for a moment and then flew off completely unaffected. I was surprised that this was possible and then realised that it was a dream. Hope this is not to random.

My joint pain does seem to come and go from one day to the next and so think that I should also be checking diet again and probably cutting the night shade group of foods, so will need to again review recipes and meal ideas as a life with no potatoes, tomatoes, aubergine is getting emptier and my weight loss is on going.
Any advise greatly appreciated.
I think that it would do you a lot of good to read the "Life Without Bread" and "The Vegetarian Myth" threads.
Thank you Nienna Eluch, I 've been working my way through these threads and will have to order both of these books. I've allowed my weight to dip down too low so need to spend time on getting the balance right. Particularly this week my weight loss has been become more apparent and would think it's connected to the EE being practised this week and my body clearing toxins.
Emotionally and physically the EE is helping to clear my head, and now that I have made this part of my life, rather then restricting and denying this through the sabotage predator in me, changes are happening and now I am able to see more, what has been going on in my life.
The FAQ on EE has also been a very beneficial thread and thank you all for your shared experiences and advise.
