All major spiritual practices physically begin with the breath for a very good reason - it is establishing a default path of least resistance for energy flow, establishing an energy potential that will absorb the energies that you work with while cultivating. Any master worth his salt will prescribe lots of meditation for this reason, some wont continue to teach you if you arent obeying that rule.

Energies raised, especially in the head, need to be grounded back down, the potentials brought back down, at the end of a session. You'll notice some ignorants say meditation invites spirits, or the devil, lol. No, not grounding the energies worked with in the head will serve to burn one's nerves up and make one a bit loopy. YMAA recommends scalp massage after meditation.

Quiet the nerves; the olfactory nerve inputs a 40 cycles/sec resonance into your midbrain. How to stop that from happening? Train the breath properly, then you quiet your mind from the neural level all the way on up.

Once the mind is quiet, then things can happen.

The diaphragm culminates into 2 tendon bands at the anterior lumbar spine. To begin a breath, pull down from there - "basically 'solar plexus' level down to pelvic region" as your mind conceives it. But ancient writings say the breath should not go as high as the heart or as low as the genitals.

Relax the abdomen and perineum as the inhale progresses. As the exhale begins, firm the abdomen at the cv6 qihai acupoint (its like the node on a battery) and firm the perineum at the cv1 huiyin acupoint. "the gooch" - its actually aaaaaaaaancient chinese secret - embarrassing to talk about moving one's privates! But it was also kept secret because it added martial power. What it does is provide a compression to the peritoneum, which helps "charge" the gut. (Yes, literally, an energy potential will form there if you do things correctly.)

Next big secret, is to not use anywhere that air touches to facilitate the movement of air through the system. So if you sniff something, you're drawing air into your sinuses. Do the opposite, relax it all - the air is still drawn through the nose, throat, bronchi, lungs - but they do not assist the air's movement.

This does two big things - 1, it puts the onus of breathing properly on the diaphragm, which massages your internal organs better with each breath. and 2, air winds up not really getting inside your sinuses to wiggle the olfactory nerve and cause that whole chain of neural cascades.

Eventually, the long durations of breath sorta impugn a standing wave onto the vagus nerve, and it becomes the dominant resonant nerve of the cranial nerve system. When this happens you will experience a HUGE increase in energy, very similar to having finished a hard month of working out. Appetite included.

You will also start to experience what true stillness really is, once you're able to calm the nerves down. You dont quite shut them off per se, its more like flipping the resonant mode from yang to yin.

The energy potential that forms in the gut is behind the cv6 qihai acupoint, positioned front:back 3:7 because of the spine.

To help increase the potential, work with a ball of light there at the center, grown and shrink it with the breath from the size of a golf ball to the size of a peach, back and forth.

Its important to find the seat of awareness if one is to seriously undertake these things. Pineal gland is where this is, although really its more about the energy rather than a brain structure.

From the secret of the golden flower, use a method called turning the light around. This increases the efficiency of other practices and begins to enable the top down endocrine function of the pineal pituitary dynamic.

There's no muscles there, so be gentle, light. Imagine a movie of the sun, with its rays shining outward. Now play that movie in reverse, so that the rays all return to the sun. Play that movie at your pineal, return the rays of your light unto itself.

And remember the stillness at the end. Like the second 51%+ of a session.

Never did wind up getting around to taking an anatomy class :) Personal drive to discover, hail anon!

why hire others to do that which you can do yourself? will they expect something in return? my buddy ripped up his cert after completing that stuff eons ago, lol.

funny how reiki is fine, but g03t!a arent, lol

But I just gave you years worth of material that's distilled from my 15 years of practice /razz :) Ymaa embryonic breathing is a very good one, even if only for the translations.

There's no substitute for practice - there's no such thing as spiritual welfare. You either put in the time and training or you get no benefit/achievement.

Context, when one is learning to breathe correctly, tis best to begin with the physical and conquer that before moving on. A noob is not going to have any basis for understanding what moving certain energies is even all about. Crawl before walk.

while nobody's special per se, some souls are more evolved than others.

you dont have to return to the matrix if you can break the physiospiritual coefficient of friction.

>>1644724

one other comment about resources, what I gave you is unique enough that I've potentially doxxed myself, you wont find this distillation in any book.

Any serious cultivator does not intake accelerants. Some folks wont like to hear that, but that's why I included the qualifier of "serious cultivator."

The ongoing dopamine crutch isnt good for body regulation; it dulls the body and hinders the ongoing deepening of proprioception that is required. It flares up the kidney fire a bit, which is why it can help be an introduction to spirituality, but eventually, all tools are to be discarded.

Alcohol isnt good because it burns chi like mad. When you have good chi reserves, you can drink a shit ton in a sitting, but that alcohol will burn the shit out of those chi reserves.

Caffeine is like adding friction to the process.

Acid never fooled me the couple times I tried it.

But like I said, any actually serious cultivator….you're going clean, or you have glass ceilings.

and last but not least for breathwork:

know how quiet it gets when you hold your breath? unfortunately that's unsustainable.

what is sustainable, is rolling the top and bottom of the breath into each other. there are internal rolling motions to do at the peak and trough of breath.

that + 'shutting off' olfactory nerve = "holy shit I'm not breathing"…."but I am"….

then you learn to exist in that super efficient state for a couple hours every day….when you get your breaths over a minute long avg for a couple hours, it really doesnt feel like you sat there all that long.

sorry, there is no reliable evidence that Jesus is who the church says he is. the council of nicea made sure of that.
