Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Sat Nam everyone, I am writing because I need some advice. I have started doing breathe of fire in my morning meditation and sometimes the effect is the same as when I used to do nitrice(sp). You know I get the Wah Wah's and a tingling sensation all over. I know this effect from nitrice is caused by the oxygen being cut off from your brain. Could I be cutting off the oxygen from my brain and causing damage? Please will someone with more experience than me help put my mind to rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 haha hippy crack =) No, you're not damaging yourself with BoF, you're charging the cells with a rush of oxygen. It's kind of the exact opposite. Hense, KY is awesome for drug avoidance =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Dear Threefoldnature: I don't know how you practice the breath of fire. Do you have a teacher who can check whether you are doing it correctly? I don't know about " nitrice " . I checked on the internet and did not see what you were describing. Perhaps the spelling is wrong. Cutting off oxygen access to the brain can definitely cause damage... so that's not a life enhancing practice and that's not how the breath of fire is supposed to work. What I am getting from your e-mail is that your are experiencing tingling sensations all over. I can relate to this better because it is your experience. The " wah wah's " well I can only imagine what you mean... do you mean that you feel blissful or do you mean that you feel dizzy? In the beginning of experiencing the Breath of Fire students may feel dizzy or elated in a way they are not used to. Part of it is that we get more oxygen very quickly in our system. After a while the student comes to realize that the body needs that extra oxygen... it simply had been deprived too long.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thank you for responding to my inquiry and yes I spelled it wrong. Nitrous Oxide is what I was refering to. I do have a Guru and he has shown me the proper way, it is just that my sinuses are bad and in the morning they are especially bad. So I think I am going to listen to my intuition and slow down my breath of Fire making sure that I am getting oxygen. My Guru suggested that I limit my dairy intake to cut back on mucus. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks, Heather Kundaliniyoga , " yogahs " <kundalini_yoga w rote: > > Dear Threefoldnature: > > I don't know how you practice the breath of fire.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 The use of normal saline washes is a big help. If you don't want the bother of making your own, Ayr has salt packets and a special pump with no backwash to use. Buy it where you can get it cheapest. Us non-allergenic pillows. Holding the nostrils open to let the air in well also helps in the morning as mucous accumulates overnight. How is the moisture level in your bedroom air. Eliminate perfumed scents in bedroom(whether via candles or sprays or deodorizing plug ins) Lovingly Teresa ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
