Éiriú-Eolas - Breathing Program

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.
 
Its a massive step, I just want to be sure I have done the research first before beginning this transformation.

Hungary Jacks is an Australian Burger King FWIW, I read somewhere that if I go off gluten then accidentally consume it a couple years down the track it could make me very ill! With it being in nearly everything, I just want to make sure that this is going to work for me before trying it to avoid any possible health risks.

Not to mention that my girlfriend and I will have to eat seperate meals as she does not support me in this endevor which makes it hard seeing as I am working 10 hours a day 6 days a week and she is the cook :( I will figure something out I'm sure. Maybe start by bedazziling her with some of these amazing recepe's in the Health section....
 
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Yes, best to start on the diet as soon as you can. You'll be amazed at the improvements. For what it's worth, in America, Hungry Jack is a mix for making pancakes, waffles and such but when I think of it, your HJ is just as evil as ours. :)

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?
That is a step too far for me at the moment, and depending on the definition of feeling - sensation or emotion.

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 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.
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. :flowers:

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'.

'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'.

I just received notice that the Levine book I ordered has just arrived and I am looking forward to get my hands on it to explore that technique that enables me to 'feel' - this has been an issue for me.
With the POTS part of EE last night tears were streaming from my eyes, but the tenseness in my solar plexus was still there, like feelings/emotions that just won't come out. Maybe Levine's technique can help with this.
 
Lately,I've been emotionally quiet. So EE sessions didn't produce emotional shaking, maybe some little realizations that could be also related to other things.

Last tuesday, there happened something weird and funny. During POTS, I zoned out (or something close to it), and I listened the musical sound of some kind of flutes. I didn't recognized the music, but I think it was a type of ancient or "oriental" music. It made me remember the film "Encounters with remarkable men" and its music.
 
Hi guys

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.

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?

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.

This may help or not.

Yes, we can say that i'm in transition with diet somehow.

And usually i don't lose concentration with EE i zoned out sometimes, but the new element in the equation is fatigue. I didn't think about it but you're right rather than fighting it, just let it happen.

Thank you :)
 
I have mentioned that I have had more tension than normal in my solar plexus area.

However lately I am going through quite a tough time, and today the tightness in the solar plexus area has been more uncomfortable than usual. I actually have had significant trouble with pipe breathing: just not able to take in the air, and can not seem to exhale for the full count. If I 'cheat' in the inhale and take in a bit more air during the hold (using upper chest muscles and scalenes) then I can get a bit more air but still the exhale is short, and the breath is shallow. I was feeling if I could get surgery to get the 'chunk of cement' out of mylower-chest/upper abdomen area, I would visit the surgeon immediately.

Any hints, like stretches or something, that might alleviate this phenomenon?

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.

Interesting, I have problems with shortness of breath but have found it to be induced by my anxiety/panic. Though this could be a cause too or at least partially. I have a multi mineral supplement from NOW foods, but it contains iron and copper, so I don't take it. I will be ordering some potassium and zinc too.

Edit: grammar.
