This feels like a right time to share my experience so far. I have been doing EE since February, so slightly over 10 months. Nothing as dramatic as some of the contributors reported in this thread.
Usual timing for EE is the evening before bed. I make it a point to do at least the meditation part every day.
Fun story: family knows I am meditating, so when the door in the bedroom closes they know to leave me alone until I come out again. Well one day our 7 year old had something very important to tell me, walks in and starts talking to me, while I am in the middle of the baaa-haaa part. I heard him come, heard him talk, but couldn`t understand a word he said as I was focused ont he breathing. So he keeps talking to me (to my back as I sit right in front of the window) for what must have been a good minute and then leaves. Later on, when I come out, my wife tells me, that he went straight to ther in utter astonishment and told her: Papa just ignored me
Of course she explained what was going on and everything was fine. I talked to him the next day since he was already asleep when I finished.
Few observations.
Pipe breathing amongst other things builds up heat. A lot of heat. It gets to the point that after first part of pipe breathing I am sweating regardless of the temperature inside the house. Few times I had to get completely naked and still felt hot. The heat is usually coming from the area of heart and solar plexus.
Warrior breathing. In between the rounds yawning starts. I am fully awake, but cannot help you yawn few times. Next which happened few times so far, after finishing the fist round and before the round two starts I blank out. Only to come back to my senses in the middle of the last round, while still somehow following the instructions, hands moving and breathing properly. There is no recollection of anything. Not out of body, no visions, no nothing. Just completelly blank few minutes.
The Baaa-Haaa portion. Majority of times during the first round towards the end I start feeling vibrations throughout my body. Like all body parts start vibrating simultaneously. Not to the point of physical shivering. This sensation ceases during the second round, but comes back the last round again. The overall feeling is that if I am feeling the vibration, I am doing it right. About half of the times I am seeing a bright lights through my closed eyes. Although lately the bright light appears more often on the right side of my head.
Meditation part
Laying down in bed the vibration is still present. Not quite sure when it disappears. Sometimes it turns into jitters so that I can stand only a very light blanket to cover with, anything thicker makes it worse to the point of having to scratch the itch, but its like a whole body itch.
Prayer for the Soul. It does matter whether I am paying attention to the words and the breathing. There is a difference if I am just following the breathing but mind is traveling. It has happened several times so far that I blanked out and woke up after the music had stopped.
There is never any memory or a feeling of what happened during.
Those experiences mentioned happen always one at time. If I zone out at warriors breathing, the rest of EE is uneventful, and so on. Yesterday spacing out at a very early point of the meditation could be contributed to a spinning peformed only few minutes before the EE.
Impacts and outcomes
I can clearly tell that major dramas are gone from my life. Yes, there are still emotions flowing high and low here and there but less frequently and nothing close to what it used to be.
Second is the dreams. I have never had so many vivid and weird dreams ever in my life. Some downright bizarre, some scary, some perverted, but never boring. I do not know enough yet to make anything out of it, but the overall impression is this is a testing. I am not a special snowflake, but it feels like awareness is coming t my life and out of the sudden I am paying attention to the things I would otherwise brushed off and never gave a second thought.
One more thing. Prayer for the Soul makes me go and learn. Maybe it is a literal program that unlocked certain parts of the brain. Either way if I am not learning I have this feeling of wasting time, unfulfillment and restlessness.
To be continued...
