Éiriú-Eolas - Breathing Program

[Oxajil]

Just done a full EE and before sleeping I'd like to share how I experienced it.

I did it differently this time, instead of having mp3 headphones in my ears I decided to leave the laptop on and let it play the Part 2 audio file from the website. Before doing that I did the warming-up.

Somehow it felt like I could concentrate better.

It's interesting to mention that every time I do EE or whenever I meditated in the past, my body naturally wants/strives to be in a symmetrical and balanced position.

When I started to lay down for the POTS and closed my eyes I saw a very clear, how to say it, colour of black/brown. My mind was very clear, no thought patterns flying around like before I started it, it was just my environment, Laura's voice and myself.

Surprisingly, after Laura said that you can continue counting in your mind (pipe breathing) until you automatically start breathing normally, I noticed that she stopped talking and there was a pause. (The file I have on my mp3 player is different, so I think this is a change and a very nice one as well!).

I was counting and at the same time kind of expecting Laura to speak, but instead heard this beautiful touching music, first I was wondering where it was coming from. This surprise was very pleasant, whether it was the break, the music, the relaxation, I don't know, but at that moment I started to feel and sense something intensively beautiful.

I immediately had my observing I active to observe what was going on. I tried to visualize what it was that I was feeling or sensing but was unable to do so. So I observed its presence. It felt safe, it felt so pure. It was just something that was there, it had no intention of doing anything, it just Was. And it felt like something that always was there, is and will be. Very pure and good.

Throughout the whole EE my body and soul felt joy.

Some people have mentioned a few pages back that they get muscle spasms/twitches. I have noticed that in the past two weeks I have too. I will get a muscle twitch in my right bicep when I am loose and at rest. This hasn't happened during EE though that I remember.

That's funny 3D Student, because I've noticed the same thing over the last week or so. I've been having a lot of small muscle twitches - almost little vibrations in certain muscles. They usually only last for a second, but the other day I had one in my leg that seemed to last a few hours. I could even see that one by looking at it. They're not painful or unpleasant at all. When I was doing Reiki training regularly my instructor told me that those were tiny emotional releases. Since then I've always thought of them as a good thing :)

Last night while laying down for the POTS I sensed pain in my right arm, I think it was my bicep as well, but not sure. After some time it was gone.
Could be nothing, thought I'd mentioned.

I have been having some strange muscle twitches in my sciatic nerve on my right side. It is very unusual and I just assumed I was overdue for a chiropractic adjustment - all the same, it's not one of my usual problem areas. I wonder if this could be signs of deep releases of tension in the muscles?

Hi guys,
An update my EE experiences, thus far:

A couple of weeks ago, during the meditation portion of the program, it was like I was viewing the cosmos or blackness of the universe through a square.

I have had that experience of seeing the cosmos through a square - or sometimes it looks like a dome shape. i seem to see stars flickering, but if i concentrate on it too much, it will fade. interestingly, i only see this when i have managed to really focus on the breathing and can get to a deep meditative state.

My life seems to have more of a purpose and direction. I am happier. I am not as fearful, angry or paranoid as I was before. I have a large lesion (3/4 inch in diameter) in the learning and memory portion of my brain from the onset of MS 5 years ago and my memory and learning ability seems to be getting better, better and better! I am sure the detoxing has helped with this, but this program is absolutely life changing, osit.

Congratulations Menrva on your improvements - it is so wonderful to hear what EE can do - it's motivating to know what's possible and it just makes me happy to read this :D

Quick note:

Did a full EE today. For the first time I've noticed how far my belly pushes out (I was feeling how the air filled it), it was so far that it made me laugh a little! Thought it was cute.
Felt small moments of pain again in my right hand/arm area as well as my left foot (during POTS), could be nothing.

I did EE last Thursday and it was another pleasant experience for me. The beatha/meditation portions made me feel floaty and completely stress free however I'm beginning to wonder whether or not I will actually have any emotional release .

I've got a very laid back nature, and I think that I had an excellent childhood and little trauma as a child or in my adult life (I'm 23). I will still continue with EE as it is an amazing feeling and an important part of the work. Perhaps there may be something bottled up inside, but I'm beginning to feel a little bit like a fraud... Is it possible that there may be no release?

The ultimate Aim of the EE, coupled with the rest of the Work, is the opening of the Emotional Centre. I think you'll find there will be some emotional release before that happens. But don't dwell on it, and try not to have expectations of what the programme will or won't do for you. Simply continue to do it every day.

Hi, seek10. Just want to encourage you to keep at it and continue to share your experiences.

thank you for the encouragement. This week, I was again not able to do POTS before sleep. I am sleeping before I even start POTS. I will need to create settling time before bed, but it is always tough to make a choice which one to do and which is not , particularly with impatient mind is in charge which always looking for some 'feel good'. Too painful to watch the emotion particularly of the 'shouldn't fail' or 'fear of failures', 'you did it previously, continuous to do , so imminent failure' thoughts.

Thanks Galahad, that is a good point! At the minute I am just doing EE on Monday and Thursday. Perhaps I should switch to do it every day?

I think that if you think it's fun and relaxing, you can do that. Whatever feels naturally.

If you have trouble at the moment to do the POTS before sleeping, maybe you can recite the prayer in your mind at day, for example when you're on a break at work, (but don't be angry when someone takes your attention away when you're busy reciting the prayer in the mind (it's not something you 'must' do and you can always do it later or another day).)

Maybe at some point it will become easier to do it before sleep. (Still try that as well though, but be easy and gentle with yourself!)

I haven't had anything out of the ordinary happen whilst doing the full program, but not long ago while I was doing the POTS at night before going to bed I became aware of some music faintly playing in the background, it sounded like something from maybe the 1920's - 1940's perhaps, more live big band but at a leisurely tempo. Then it sounded like a room ambience of a crowd of people, nothing I could pick out as words or conversation - not that I was paying much attention to it as reciting the prayer was of more importance.

The thing is it got louder and louder until hearing myself think wasn't an option, so I let it take its course and just see if anything happened - when all of a sudden a man appeared in my minds eye with an angry look on his face, dressed in a white suit and hat. He was visible for a couple of seconds when an almighty *bang!* went off, which sounded like it was in the room. It then stopped and I was left pondering what the heck that was all about.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Having had similar experiences in the past, I am not sure what the music and voices are either. The music I hear also seems from this time period and the voices sound jovial. Sounds as if it is being played on a grammaphone. Scratchy and muffled. Haven't seen any people though, just the music and voices.

Been managing POTS before bed and a strange sensation happens afterwards. It feels more then anything else yet there is also a sound. The experience is as best I can describe.., an electrical or sound vibration. It is mostly in my head and my ears sort of plug up for the seconds that it lasts. Feels like some kind of a scanner or a wave or something. It is very strange. Happens quite a bit. Anyone else experiencing something like this?

I thought I'd start updating my progress with EE here. I've posted here maybe twice because frankly I just haven't had that much success. I've done it quite regularly, the meditation atleast. The whole program twice a week, though sometimes I don't feel like doing it (I usually do it the day after).

Been practising pipe-breathing whenever I remember, but I find myself getting frustrated very easily and giving up. Perhaps fixing diet will fix this issue somewhat.

I've had some trouble concentrating on the prayer, but sometimes it goes pretty well. I don't know how deeply meditative I am... I can still sense the room I'm in pretty clearly (if that does serve as any indication).

IMO it will be great if you do the detox diet and begin with the dietary changes, you won't regret it, it will help a lot. Also just try not to anticipate any result, 'let the things flow naturally', in my case that has been very helpful.

Have you tried to meditate with "seed"? this would help you to focus and stop the myriads of thoughts going on during the meditation.
