Éiriú-Eolas - Breathing Program

[cubbex]

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.

Thank you. I said this because, you know, I see myself and it's like I know I can give more, be better, but something is like blocking myself. I have noted that when I do Eiru Eolas, on the next days like a learn or change a little of myself that I think I have to fix.
So I ask this, because what the cassio said, about the past life, one day I was thinking how may life could be in a past life, and that day I dreamed that I was in some kind of temple or special construction, and there was... well I was a member and one being gave me an order to kill one woman, I did, but I get out of the group when some kind of best friend invite me to sexualy abuse of a kid, so I was crying when I see that a lot of people in the group did this frequently. I get out and I shot up myself to not be killed by the group. A completely coward.

But it could be just a dream, but whatever is the case, I know I have to fix me.

The right breathing exercises might enable us to breath in more or the right substances, breath out more "toxins" and increase oxygen intake.

This is what I read in Bringers of the Dawn:

You are now at that juncture when those who designed you are
adding on to who you are. What the scientists call "junk DNA" has been
dormant in your body for a long time, and it is now becoming activated.
In our teachings, we always emphasize the importance of oxygenation,
because oxygen feeds the coding and awakens the junk DNA in your body
(which certainly isn't junk at all).

What scientists are calling "junk" houses the perceptions deep inside of
your body that will allow you to become an entire perceiver, a
fourth-dimensional being. This awakening DNA will allow you to change
your eyesight, change your hearing, increase your life span, and so on.
This dormant part of the DNA that has baffled the scientists is now
coming to life.

You are mutating so quickly now that certain scientists call the process
a disease. Some are very concerned about it. They have persuaded the
government to invest billions of dollars to research DNA. What is
occurring in your body is certainly not a disease: you are being
naturally mutated and rearranged. This mutation occurs most often while
you are sleeping, so you may be waking up in the mornings noticing that
something feels a little different in your body. You can expect that the
changes will begin to show themselves and that you will develop new
abilities. You will automatically /know, /many things.

Thought it might be interesting.

My experiences of the E-E Breathing programme this week are similar to previous weeks – wet eyes and micro zoning out during PotS.

I'd like to make a request, building on previous comments by both Laura, and repeatedly by Ailen, please will you post your E-E experiences, old as well as new on the new E-E forum, or not. And, if you have yet to register on the new E-E forum please do. Now, the reason I ask is that I've been posting here almost every week, and wish to update many of those posts to the new E-E forum, however, if I post serially, with no-one posting in between my posts, it will look rather strange, manufactured. Thanking you for your help in this matter, in advance. :)

This may involve conscious suffering on your part! :) I know that I am. :)

Something happens fairly frequently now during the Prayer of the Soul. I've refrained from sharing because it's rather difficult to put into words, but I'll give it a try.

There's some kind of letting go which results in a feeling of expansion throughout the body. It seems subtly to originate from the top of my head and is conveyed from behind, leading me to suspect it's functioning through the CNS. It doesn't feel physical, yet has a definite bodily effect, one of wholeness, balance, and as previously mentioned, a slight expansion.
In my mind's eye at the time there is always a sense of golden light.

At first it caused a shudder throughout my body. What comes to mind is the Taoist teaching that there is a tien between the shoulder blades that is mainly constricted in everyone and must be opened for advanced energy work. I occasionally had experienced this when I used to practice Chi Kung, but during POTS it's different in quality and intensity.

It feels like something happens on a cellular level.

Of course since I've been a nervous knucklehead all my life, maybe being relaxed feels that foreign. I feel there's more to it than that however.

There's some kind of letting go which results in a feeling of expansion throughout the body.

I just finished a session, without the audio, actually, and this is something I noticed.

It was actually an eventful session.

I generated heat...and a lot of it apparently, as in contrast I feel very cold right now and i'm actually wearing a sweatshirt,

while during meditation i wasn't wearing a shirt, and I could feel myself sweat just a little bit.

The thing about this session was I experimented a bit, since there was no audio I sort of toyed with a few things. I noticed from the

beginning of practicing EE that I have trouble settling in to pipe breathing, so instead of starting with the count, i decided to start with shorter

pipe breaths, and gradually work into the longer breaths. It allowed me to settle in much quicker. I did another thing different, I sat up straight instead

of laying down, which actually proved quite interesting. You see if i ever try meditation sitting up it used to be just flat out uncomfortable

and kind of annoying. This time i decided to work through that discomfort, i had to go back to pipe breath a couple times to get relaxed.

During the pots I noticed that if I put my tongue between my teeth sort of, so as to constrict the air-flow a little bit on the exhale, it

doesn't make me feel so out of air. That's all for now, I need to try to get some Z's.

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).

Hi no-man's-land, I have had a very similar experience to yourself, and an "increase in resolution" would be the exact term I would use to describe it! :)

The last time it happened was yesterday evening when I was walking outside across a field, looking at the sunset and doing pipe breathing and POTS. Not only did my vision and spacial perception seem more detailed, but the colours and forms seemed to be "denser" and more vivid if that makes sense? What would have been a reasonably interesting scene had now become a "living artwork" of nature that I found emotionally inspiring.

Hello everyone

I would just like to check in for a minute and leave a short update on the results of my recent meditations. As someone who used to be very anxious and internally considerate I feel now that I am more able to put myself in other people's shoes. This has decreased my anxiety considerably. I've also noticed that, almost without really thinking about it, I've been having question and answer sessions with myself. I'm not sure if this is the subconscious, or perhaps dissociated identities, but it has been really quite relaxing. When I make a purposeful attempt to calm down and have a cigarette and think, I've found that I can almost go forever just talking within. Sometimes the thoughts are very strange, but they usually revolve around me asking why I do this, or why I can't do that right, and getting a relatively "new" answer. When I say new I mean from a different perspective. It's been very helpful and has led to me being more externally considerate and warm. Reading the latest session from April 25th has been an eye-opener as well, and I've been doing some dream work. Mostly about narcissism. While writing and dreaming I've come to the conclusion that my personal religion is a very narcissistic one. When I say religion I mean what I live for and why I believe, maybe subconsciously, I'm here. I have prayed at the altar of the "Chosen One" for a long time. I believe I am special and, though I fight the habit, always dream. However I have had much more success in not just fighting it, but trying not to obey it. I feel like before I prayed to the altar, and was inspired by my negative introject, and followed that all-powerful commandment: Thou Shalt Not Exist. Well I'm not so willing to follow that last commandment any more. It has simply led me down the road of self-denial and shame. I hope I haven't rambled too much, I am maybe too proud of myself.. Thanks for your time :)

Ben alluded in his post that as a result of EE, fewer things come to your attention.
In these last weeks I was at odds with my own life.
With my relationships, work, hobbies, I felt like I was missplaced, and not fitting in anything.
I was with people, but everytime I was left alone, I would feel alone and despondent.

However, I was trying this last week to keep all these emotions under the neck, and avoid internal considering as much as possible.
It sure is very difficult to do. You truly feel pressure within... that is of course, providing that I understood correctly the method.
I was sucessfull in not burden anyone with my negative emotions, since that Im used to do. What I am not used to do is to feel those emotions and not internally consider and attach to them.

I am seeing sides of myself that seem to contradict everything or most that I thought I were.
But I shall rock on.

More and more I have awe for those that did the work in the past, without a network as big as ours.
These people truly were amazing.
But we are too.
Cheers for everyone!

Hi, Iron. Did you mean to say 'more things' rather than fewer?

 

[Iron]

Hahaha yes, yes more.
Actually this was a example of careless writing. I was thinking of "fewer things escape you attention" and at the same time thinking "more things come to the surface" . Due to carelless thinking of my part the two lines of thought somehow mixed. And I noticed it only now.

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.

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. ;)

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.

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 :)

Me too on all of this . I have been dozing especially on the Beatha and only get about a round or 2 of POTS that I remember. The three stage and warrior's breath though are ok for me, sometimes I just close my eyes, but I don't miss breaths like I do with Beatha or POTS.

 

[cagoule]

I've noticed that I never seem to zone during POTS or Beatha.

By the time I reach POTS I often feel like I have a warm fluffy cushion on my head which I feel the warmness through my body. I'm not sure if that is the best way to describe it but I feel very relaxed during it afterwards I feel brilliant.

Don't worry. :) Not every one does zone out. And sometimes you will zone out after doing it for a few months. All that matters is that you are comfortable. Everyone is different. And isn't great how good you feel afterwards! Just keep doing what you are doing.

 

[abbyjo]

do you want me to buy from you or is buying from Amazon same? I normally get books/DVDs on Amazon...BTW Omani Frankincense here today, smells like time...hard to explain. I love the photos that go with the EE...any videos of you guys doing it at QFS would help me visualize also, thanks very much for this....blessings...

Just an update, for a week now I've been doing the complete breathing/meditation before sleep, with very good results, before this, I tried to divide them, three stage breathing in the morning and Beatha and POTS in the night, but I felt that something was missing, - also there was some days during this period that I couldn't do the three stage breathing in the morning and I skipped it :S - I felt clear minded but not with the same energy and with that driven feeling that I used to have when I made EE all together, so I tried again that way, and it worked great - for me -. Also I think that I may have been confusing sometimes short falling to sleep periods with zone outs during POTS, for example, two nights ago I was starting the meditation, fully awake but very relaxed, and during the second or third mention of POTS - I was doing it with the audio - I just lost consciousness all of a sudden, with a deep and relaxed sensation, and I wake up until the end of the audio - I felt that no time had passed -, with a strong courage feeling and very motivated, is funny because when I thought that I "zoned out" most of the times I had like little dreams - I tend to remember my dreams clearly most of the times - and during this last zone out I didn't remembered anything at all, I'm thinking that anticipation could have played a role during this "confusion".

Another aspect is that I've been doing the Beatha part almost daily, and I started to have a clear angry feeling. I'm trying very hard to keep the self-observation continuously to avoid any mechanical/emotional re-action related to this feeling, like discussions/fights or just been plainly rude, - and thanks Beliabaste for beginning this post: Emotions and self-observation -. For what i have observed until now, that feeling gets triggered when I read, see or experience/witness an abusive, bully behavior - in general - I'm wondering if this feeling is related to my past relationship dynamics when I used to have contact with abusive people that I used to call "friends" or my step father for example, is clear that I didn't allowed my self to feel angry, because of my 'be nice, be good' program. Now I'm seriously considering to get a punch bag :P.
