The Living Force
If you're referring to the pancake mix, then I would say definitely get rid of that, all other gluten and dairy and sugar for a start.
That is a step too far for me at the moment, and depending on the definition of feeling - sensation or emotion.Ana said:Trevrizent said:Another week of emotional releases appears to be happening. On Monday: yawning and wet eyes during three-stage pipe breathing; continuing into BaHa with drifting off the breathing pattern during speed two; followed by very wide yawning during PotS and wet-eyes turning into tears that ran down my face, and, a restless right foot/big toe that I allowed to do what it wanted to do, just observing. On Thursday, a similar pattern, except that during round two of BaHa I switched to pipe breathing, and during round three zoned out completely – all through PotS.
And how do you feel while your eyes become wet?

I'm slowly working through Levine's restorative exercises to bring back a sense of connectedness (for those dissociated through trauma); to experience my body as a container for sensations and feelings. The first step is developing a 'Felt Sense'; of learning the language of inner body language. It's early days in terms of progress.
Currently, wet-eyes is experienced as wet, cold, and slowly flowing; of stuck energy beginning to flow. Keeping with the 'fluid' analogy, the word that came up is of 'relief'. I've not yet determined where else, apart from the eyes and face skin, that I'm experiencing physical sensations that may relate to either 'flowing' or 'relief' - in terms of location, size, shape or other physical quality.
I agree with you about the key - the lost parts, and this is where the technique is being used in conjunction with EE to recover that which was lost (although it is to release that energy which is trapped rather than lost), and to open the possibility of reconnecting with the emotional centre. For which the first part is to 'feel'.Ana said:I see, I just think that although the technique can help, the key to heal lies in our deep desire to recover what was once lost, the parts of our soul that flew away.
'The willing force with the power to heal' - that is how I see my-self with both EE and the Levine technique, with the latter to enable me to 'feel'.You may want to try to see yourself not as a mere expectator following a technique waiting for results, but as the willing force with the power to heal.

Lately (last 5-7 days) i've been feeling odd. It's strange to some point, it is like if i were hyperactive inside my body, some kind of alteration, but i don't know why. I'd been experiencing things like: bone pain, headache, restlessness, insomnia (my body was tired but internally hyperactive), when i felt relaxed sunddenly i back to alteration because i felt like all 'air' surrounding me was moving or shaking.
Your reported experience with Baha - of losing concentration with the breathing happens with me too - rather than fighting it, just let it happen and notice where it takes you or not, you may just zone out (or sleep). Remember, your body-mind knows what it is doing, it is doing it for a reason that is beneficial for you.pirataloko said:When i practice EE (and following hours) are the moments i feel better and relaxed. But yesterday i was so tired i lost the concentration in the baha and i was easy to fell into sleep so i was fighting to keep myself awake. In the solwer breaths i was there but very tired and i don't remember to follow the rhythm and when the change to the next stage happened suddenly i was aware about it and i did this stage and the following one quite fine, but when the cycle started again with solwer breaths i was unable to follow.
Well i think about all this and the only thing i can say is that i have to find a way to calm myself so i'll be doing EE and introspectionism.
Is there anyboby with similar experiences?
Thank you all

How is your diet? Are you in a transition stage?

If you are doing the diet, make sure you have enough potassium as a deficit often manifests as breathlessness and inability to draw in enough air.
