Éiriú-Eolas - Breathing Program

I have done the complete set of exercises several times, but not enough to be sure of the results. My experiences haven't been profound, but I realize that it may take time and self observation for the effects to become obvious.

I have realized something, however, which might be interesting or helpful. Has anyone else considered how similar the constricted out-breath of pipe-breathing is to the way our throat constricts when we cry? This suggests to me that crying is a very important part of our natural stress coping process. Do my observations (which apply to me) fit others? Is it helpful to imagine pipe breath as a simulated cry? If I constrict my throat in the same way I do when I cry, is that proper form for pipe breath, possibly better than the "glasses cleaning" sighing that I've been using until now?

Also, an additional note. I've discovered that it seems harder to belly breathe when my stomach is empty (I'm not getting enough food recently), because it doesn't want to expand outward. When my stomach is full there is something there for the diaphram to push on, but when I go too long between meals it seems to get harder because my stomach muscles are flat and tight.

I zoned out pretty good while doing the POTS.

I'll try to do it earlier to see if it makes a difference, for a change, because I am maybe too tired in the evening anyway.

This has been my experience too. I can't decide if I'm zoning or sleeping. If I am sleeping, I somehow always manage to wake up from time to time and then for the last time right as Laura is doing the reverse count and saying "Divine Cosmic Mind bless you all". Yesterday I did it earlier in the day but decided to get in the sauna while I ba ha'd and did the POTS. Same scenario. Next time I'll do it early and not in the blanket. :) I'd hate to think that I'm zoning when I'm really just snoozing.
 
In view of this latest MMS business that is currently unfolding on the SOTT site and the attack involved, I would like to make a request .
All who are able, to hold a special EE session within the next 24 hours with the intention of strengthening our vibration of unity for Truth and support for Laura in this challenging ordeal.
All in favour say "I".
"I"

It probably doesn't really matter. If in your higher self's wisdom you need sleep, then sleep. You're still absorbing the words and the intent behind them. :zzz: ;)

How do I know if I have something to fix of myself like the "guest" on the April session?

I think that taking the hypothesis that we all have "something to fix of ourselves" is the way to go ;) And proceed with following all the guidelines here on the forum about self-study, self-observation, work on cleaning the machine, reading the required material, etc. Most importantly though, try to apply all we learn in our daily life, by living it out.

My 2 cents.

I zoned out for the first time yesterday while doing the regular breathing while Laura chants the cosmic mind. While I was lying there I felt sleepy and I began to day dream heavily then I zoned out.

And when I went back to regular conscious it felt like I was sleep I probably was so I know where Odyssey is getting at but like Herondancer said it probably does not matter if you are snoozing or not we still are absorbing the words behind it.

Congratulations Celtic :)

We should have a t-shirt for this : "I zoned out and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" :D ;)
 
I noticed something curious if I start the pipe breath and maybe someone here can confirm it.

Usually, when I beginn the breathing, I close my eyes. Then, after the first stage I open my eyes again and the world looks somewhat different. For some time I tried to find the right words for this sensation and the best description seems to be, that it is like you turn the resolution of the monitor from 800x600 up to 1280x800, like a wide screen format or something like this. This sensation increase during the pipe breath and the round breathing and last for about two hours or so until everything goes back to normal.

Interesting, because I have the feeling that I can see much better and focus my sight easy on very small things like ants or bugs and in the same time, if I look at a meadow, my vision expand and it is like that I can see life everywhere. Recently I sat beside a barren field and if I arrived there, I saw nothing but dry earth and a few little plants. But after some pipe breaths I opened my eyes and wow, there was a lot going on. Ants, bugs and spiders of all sorts, flies and more plants that I had seen before. It was like an explosion of life. Just beautiful.

Yes, seems to me it is a result of the relaxed, alert state that stimulation of the vagus nerve produces. I notice something similar. It's very useful because fewer things escape your attention (inside and out).

Thanks Herondancer. :zzz:

:D

You're welcome. For me, it's getting to the point where it feels weird to be falling asleep without wearing earbuds! :lol:

That's comforting, I start to feel a bit guilty, because skipped some rounds of breathing especially with 3 stage breathing that relax me totally and same thing during POS. :halo:

This seems to happen to me too, consistently during round breathing. I'm pretty sure it's not zoning because I seem to be dreaming; or half-dreaming anyway. It's never anything I'm able to remember. Today I started to fade during round breathing so I just skipped it and skipped ahead to the POTS thinking "if I'm just going to sleep, I might as well do it to POTS". Maybe, with Herondancer's advice, it would be better to just keep with it. Next time :)
