Éiriú-Eolas - Breathing Program

Infiniteness said:
Update: Yesterday I did the EE program and had the usual experiences, but didn't have any emotional releases. I still haven't zoned out, guess I just have to be patient with it. Something weird also happened when I was meditating, at first it felt like I was going to have a emotional release(also I was awake and aware). But instead of that it felt like something came out of me and my eyes slapped opened, as if I was shocked or scared and I saw a outline of a person in a black shirt when I opened my eyes but the image went away rather quickly. I didn't have my contacts on and the image was blurry but I could make out the image. Its probably my mind but just thought I would mention it :huh:. I have to say I was kinda scared and couldn't focus on meditating any more after that.

It felt like something came out of you where? What kind of feeling was it? Please explain this in more detail if it does not upset you. How do you feel now? Do you feel different in any way?
 
Hi Infiniteness,

opossum has asked some good questions. You've had an experience. Whether it was 'real' or not is beside the point. If you can talk about it and consider some of the questions, it will give you (and the forum) data to work with to figure out what this event might mean. Many minds together can come up with more possibilities.

Besides opossum's questions, you might want to think about what a black shirt mean to you. It might not mean the same thing to another person. Was the figure male or female? What does that mean to you? As you can see, the EE program can get things moving in ways we don't expect. :)

Also, what do you mean by "I had the usual experiences?" Just wondering.

In the recent weeks I've started to do the EE in the afternoon, because I've noticed that it's more effective than doing it just prior to sleep (as I've always done before). Usually I use the little free time I have in the afternoon to read stuff, but now I wanted to prioritise the EE. I also felt that I was ready to step up the 'intensity' with doing my meditation. And I must say that I feel a huge difference! I have better concentration and firmness; my thoughts don't get distracted and if they do, I just observe them 'gliding by'. There has been big gaps of zoning out and I really feel that I've been 'somewhere' recharging during these moments.

So, for those of you who have been like me doing the EE late in the evening, I highly recommend to try to arrange an undisturbed hour in the afternoon so that you can do it then. :thup:
 
I have not been keeping up with EE in a while... is the recommended frequency of full program practice still two days per week? If so, what two days do most people practice on?

Thanks
 
I had had similar experinces as opossum (appearing "people") in the middle of the meditation program, I had not registered the "afraid/scared" feeling yet, it has been more likely like asking myself Why are they doing here??? in my meditation program? I ended discarding them, later I think about it that may be memories registered at the subconscious, I dont have a clue yet as to why they pop up...this one had not been in black color, it was an adult lady, similar to an indian (from India country) achetype with light cream color traditional clothes... hand in hand with a child or short person (...I did not see any child or other though)...somehow I know she was hand in hand with someone else.

The few times I was able to do the full EE program in the late afternoon really energized me for the rest of the evening. Seemed I had more time to do things and accomplished a lot.
Unfortunately with my work schedule - have a lengthy commute into the city - it isn't always possible...especially on Monday and Thursdays.

It was Infiniteness who had this experience. I only quoted him and commented on it. A simple mistake.
Yes, they could be memories, even from a past life, who knows? Maybe the meaning will become clear later.

Hi Seamus. The recommendation that I am familiar with is doing the full EE program - Warm-Up, 3 Stage Breathing, Warrior's Breath, Breatha Breathing, followed by the Meditation Exercise - on
Mondays and Thursdays if your schedule allows for it. The rest of the week at the minimum do some daily Pipe Breathing and say the POTS in the evening. There are members who do the 3 -Stage breathing daily and say the POTS more often.

There have been times, usually due to an exceptionally long work day, where I was unable to do the full program on a Monday or Thursday...so I chose another day to make up for it.

Hope this helps.

If you have difficulty in making time for the full sessions, break'em up!
Do the 3 stage breathing and maybe the warrior breath in the morning, and Beatha and POTS later on the day.
Of course Beatha only two times for week.
 
After my last full EE session early on Thursday morning, I decided to go back to bed for a couple of hours to 'top up' on sleep. During this time, I had a disturbing dream about the 'near future' and various characters were fighting, robbing and wondering around what looked like an endless field filled with rubbish and makeshift shelters; It was chaos. At one point a large group of 'bad guys' turned up - I was grabbed and my Fiancé was dragged off.. I couldn't see where she had been taken but I eventually broke free and found her beaten. She was shouting at me and demanding to know why I didn't do anything about the people that had taken her.

At this point in the dream, I was feeling really low, guilty and helpless about myself and the situation I was in. It was then that I noticed a tiny orb floating down from the sky towards me - I focused all my attention on the orb as it floated down in front of me towards the ground. During the orbs descent, I was quickly gaining lucidity about the situation I was in (a dream, immediately following EE practice). At the same time, I was compelled to follow the orb with my attention as it 'guided' me towards the ground and through it, to reveal the same 'surface' scene completely empty and peaceful at night time, if that makes sense. It was as if there were two 'fields' that were separated by only a thin layer of ground. The feeling and sense of Reality was as strong, if not stronger than in waking life. I cycled/spun slowly through the surface world and the 'other' world as a voice was speaking to me. Unfortunately, I don't remember a single word of what was said to me in this state, but I get the impression I was being shown the principle of Reincarnation or something similar. I was enjoying the trip - that particular 'bad guy' incident was now just a blip on the long journey of my Soul, an experience to form part of my total experience of existence. I saw the fields I was cycling through changing constantly over time. Overall, I found the experience very soothing and validating.

Although the experience I had was unusual and I wasn't expecting it, it event itself feels unremarkable to me (that's not to say I don't think it's valuable!). I woke with the sense that this is more normal than a life devoid of inspired dreams/visions. I hope this all makes sense :)

Hi oppossum,

Sorry I should of made the post clearer, but here goes now. I had my eyes closed when this occurred first, so I didn't see where it game from. When I was doing the meditation part I thought I was going to have a emotional releases but instead a feeling of fear took over me and it felt like something came out of me from my whole being. My eyes opened as if I was in shock(like when one wakes up from a tense dream). After my eyes opened I saw a image of a dark skinned male with a black t-shirt above my head, about 3 feet or so. After the image went away, I observed my self and I was sweating and my body was really heated. I dont really feel any different after the event, but I noticed Ive been getting more anger(mostly at my brother who is intentionally trying to annoy me). I dont know if its connected or not. Hope this is clear enough.

Hi herondancer,

Yes I highly agree that many minds can do some wonderful things, we just need to look at the forum. :) What I believe the dark shirt meant or symbolized to me was the large amounts of negativity that are still locked inside of me because of the hurts that my father and bullies did to me. My father is a dark skinned man and maybe there was some sort of connection there, but I couldn't see the image clear enough to make out the face. My father use to beat me and mother, and I had a tough relationship with him. Either way I know I have to work to release this negativity inside of me. Maybe it was memories or my subconscious mind or something else, but like you said that dose not matter.

The usual experiences I have are cloudy lights of purple and white take over my vision when I have my eyes closed. The other experience I have is a electric vibration that is felt around my body, when I am doing the BAHA portion. Other then that, there's nothing really new.

Sorry if my post was not clear enough still, I am experiencing brain fog.

P.S Thanks for asking those questions, gave me some fore insight :flowers:

No need to apologize, the questions were for your benefit. If the thing that might have come out of you was connected to your father, it could have something to do with now being able to feel anger with your brother but I will stop here as I don't want to give any erroneous suggestions. I am sorry about your unhappy childhood and happy you are doing things that can help you heal.
 
Hi Infiniteness,

Thank you for your answers. As you can see, the exchange helps everyone! Perhaps the image is a signal that you are ready to deal with some of the emotions around your father and brother, though it sounds like that will be a process. Your history is indeed very sad.

Keep breathing, but be gentle with yourself. The beauty of EE is that your healing unfolds according to your own inner wisdom. Just stay alert to the signs it gives you. This one was pretty attention-getting ;)
