Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 Sat Nam, since I started my daily meditations I have felt many positive changes. the only problem I have encountered is sometimes at work in stressful moments I feel a little lightheaded. (this is very awkward as I work on a stage in an orchestra and am afraid of passing out.) This never happens during my daily 4 mile walks or swims etc. Only while sitting at work in tense moments. Any ideas would be appreciated. I did schedule a Dr. exam, but feel it is not medical. any breathing tips would be useful as that is what I have been using to come out of it. all the best, Primrosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this is very awkward as I work on a stage in an orchestra and am afraid of passing out.) This never happens during my daily 4 mile walks or swims etc. Only while sitting at work in tense moments. Lightheadedness is sometimes caused by not being present and very shallow breath. You must learn to stay in your body by feeling the sensations in your body and by breathing long and deeply. Slow your breath down to 4 or less per minute then you won't feel so stressed. 4 or less breaths per minute puts us into a meditative state. Make sure your inhale expands your kidneys in the back of your body. There are lots of exercises in my book Relax and Renew to deal with immediate and chronic stress. There is a whole section on relieving stress in 2-11 minutes. (www.yogatech.com) Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
