Éiriú-Eolas - Breathing Program

[Nienna]

just did one round, and this time i felt like my hands were moving up. and tingling and slight, I think twitching especially in the cheeks. happened to any one maybe.

One suggestion, and maybe you are already doing this. Make sure when you breathe your breaths are gentle, especially when doing the Beatha or round breathing. Do not force the breaths. As Laura says on the CD, breath gently.

may i ask if my understanding of meditation symptoms is correct?
is my observation correct that any tingling and slight it is sign of blockage ?

If i am in any way correct can you suggest any work i should do?
i am attempting to do do inner work and observation etc. but maybe there is any thing else that you can suggest??

thank you

I don't think so. If one is breathing forcefully, one may be getting too much oxygen which can cause tingling and lightheadedness.

Does it matter much, and how and why, if someone accidentally, or intentionally, does Eiriu Eolas at 1.25X speed?

I did this today accidentally as I was listening to Mary Balough's "The Arrangement" at 1.25X speed. About 2/3rds into Eiriu Eolas, at the start of POTS, is when I noticed it.

My guess is that it's best to go at regular speed, but doing it at 1.25X is probably not a big deal.

Unless it means you will attain enlightenment 0.25X faster?! Please keep us posted on that!

I didn't notice any difference, besides more tears than what I usually remember. I don't know what that means, maybe releasing 0.25X faster. Maybe the tears have nothing to do with the speed difference directly, and there's another factor.

Hmm.. good point.. I sometimes experience localised 'tingling' during the round breathing portion of the EE programme, but without the light-headedness. I have usually interpreted this localised tingling as indicating areas where I have been carrying tension, however, just the other evening I experienced a lot of tingling in my gums..(!), which likely kiboshes my 'tension' theory..
As a point of interest, I looked up 'Gum Problems' in Louse Hay's 'Heal you Body':
"Gum Problems - Inability to back up decisions. Wishy-washy about life"...

(I've decided to console myself with the fact that I don't have any particular issues with my gums)
