Bobo08 said:What then happened was that I zoned out much more often when doing it. In fact, for every night in the last 10 days or so, I would zone out (or fall sleeping as the case may be) just when the meditation part starts and only wake up in the middle of the night and find the audio still playing in my ears.
RedFox said:I'd like to add a new observation, specifically in responce to the So much to do, so little time thread.
I have noticed more and more so over the last few days (although the last few weeks more subtly) experiencing an abundance of time. It is not stable and mostly fleeting, but I have had many moment now where I have done many things (such as housework) that would normally take 30/40minutes, taking me 5/10minutes.....I usually double take when I look at the clock Huh?....I've even checked against other clocks in case the batteries where low.
It certainly is a wow moment when it happens, because I find it hard to believe sometimes how little time/effort things took compared to 'normal'.
I've been neglecting my reading (of books) lately so I don't know yet if it applies to this too, however I do seem to be able to read/post more here in less time??
Will report back if I notice any more of this.
Brenda86 said:I've had very similar experiences. I just moved and when my mom and sister were out of the house I managed to unpack almost everything within maybe an hour... Something that I know would have taken me much longer. It's more like I am able to stay focused on the task at hand. Because when I am reading I am also finding it easier to stay focused and I feel like I am retaining more of the information than usual, as well.
mada85 said:That’s very interesting, RF. I have noticed the same thing. It’s as though something within me changed gear recently. Like you I seem to have more time available. I’m more focused on tasks, and find it easier to do things. Also, I have far less anxiety about having enough time than previously. As to when this change occurred, I can’t say exactly. It’s a subtle shift that's been going on for a few weeks, until it suddenly came into conscious focus recently. A few weeks ago, reading the forum or a book, or posting to the forum, and many other daily activities, would have been carried out in a daze, almost as though I wasn't really 'at home'.
My mind is clearer. I don’t know if that’s just down to my EE practice as I’m also detoxing and using the FIR sauna 4-6 times a week. All I can say is, something – one of those, or the combination - is bringing about some very welcome inner changes. All these changes are incremental; they seem to move at their own pace, under the radar and in the dark, so to speak, until one day they emerge into the light of consciousness. From there it is simple and easy to make the necessary lifestyle changes to accommodate them.
I have less anxiety; more objectivity towards my self; more ease in observing and engaging in working with inner programs; a feeling of more 'space' both within and without (if that makes sense); and a more stable and positive general mood. Also, I can more easily endure the ‘displeasing manifestations of others’ without having that gut-wrenching feeling of being smashed in the solar plexus.
So once again, I would like to offer my thanks to Laura for revealing this meditation technique.

I have found that I too have had more "free" time lately. I work full time and I'm a single parent yet lately I have been able to get things done, practice the EE program and spend at least an hour each day on the forum. I can retain much more of what I read. I can understand how you two and Pai feel. I'm not quite ready to lead a group but I do hope to talk to some of people in my yoga class. Until then I plan on continuing the EE program and my studies.
Just to clarify: do you mean that one keeps the eyes open or closed while "positioning" the eyes? Where does this information come from exactly, I would like to read more about this.wanderer said:The position of the eyes is important. Straight ahead is normal waking consciousness, up (to the third eye spot on the forehead) is higher consciousness, down is subconsciousness. Try to keep your gaze focused slightly upward and don't let it drop down. It's something you'll have to struggle with, but if you've progressed far enough in just a few months that you've reached that point, you're doing great!

What were Dean Ornish, Mehmet Oz, Dan Brown, the Dalai Lama, and I all doing in Woodstock, New York, last week?
Just to be clear, does Mark Hyman know Mehmet Oz? I was wondering if Mehmet would consider sharing this info on Oprah since he's on her show regularly...

Bobo08 said:I have a bit of concern about my practice of the EE program that I want to ask. Since it came out, I have been doing it regularly but didn't notice much changes in myself. So after section 13 Sept 2009, I thought I would try to speed it up by doing the full program everyday.
Deedlet said:"Annnd relax... you may wish to lay down" I was thinking Yay meditation time!
Deedlet said:During the POTS portion, I don't have too much trouble focusing on the words and the music. Sometimes if I'm really tierd I just fall asleep before Laura stops, but most of the time it's somewhere within the music time. I haven't had anymore emotional outbursts at all.. which I find kind of strainge, but I try not to focus on that. I just try and do it with no expectations and just to become 'one' with my 'being'. Like tonight, during the baha portion, i pictured myself mentally breathing out my migraine and it seemed to have worked!
Deedlet said:Just one last thing is a quick question regarding how most people meditate. Because I usually meditate lying straight on my back but after a while I feel really really stiff like I need to shift my body. When that sensation gets a better of me, I usually snap out of the meditation.. turn off the music and go to sleep, having shifted my body. But I just wonder, how do you deal with the needing to shift your body sensation? Is it like needing to scratch your nose? Like it's a battle of will?

herondancer said:Then the crying got stronger and stronger and my whole body was just shaking and vibrating in waves that seemed to originate from the solar plexus.
Bobo08 said:What I'd like to ask is whether anyone experience the increased zoning out, and whether it is a good thing or not. As far as I can see, there's no negative effect and I feel more peaceful and able to cope better during the day. But I just want to be sure. I also miss hearing the POTS. Thanks.
