Meditation to break the mask

[Guest guest]

Satnam,

I got questions regarding the effects of the meditation to break the

mask ( Level II, Module 2 Conscious communication manual p.167). As we

are several doing it at the same time we could compare the effects,

especially during the first 15 min. Number of us were suffocating... i

usually have deep breath, I have been suffocating even after the

meditation ; when started it first week was feeling like fish out of

water...i did kept on, eventually it disappeared but some had to reduce

the time. Many experienced heavy sweating, sensations of burning on the

face that can last several hours (kind of same burning many caught on

cheeks during white tantric)...and number felt depressed at different

degrees.Some found it so hard that they stopped it for a while because

they could not function in daily lifecorrectly.

Now, in case of high blood pressure isn't too strenious on the system.

One of us had an incident with loss of memory for a while and wonder if

it can be linked...

On my side all is good now, it is supporting me now, after 50

days...first month was really hard on me...

Thanks

I like to work to my good maximum capacity and then extend it; when I work that way I maintain some point of reference (as opposed to ‘none’). I like to surrender into the sensations of the meditation whilst staying ‘with it’. Should one push oneself at one’s own peril, or should one build oneself..? Can one give one’s best – and make room for improvement..?

I managed the 15 second intervals – and then I didn’t.. I had to take ‘refresher breaths’ occasionally, e.g. take a normal breath in between before attempting again the pranayama patterned breath. I loved the way the meditation changed my view. I think it initiates permanent shifts. Some of us found the second phase was easier.. I like Ram Singh’s track (from Paris) for the HAR JEE part..

Sat nam,

Christine,

 

I have not done this particular meditation - the mind wants to figure

out and assign some description to the sensation and the experience -

there is nothing to figure out & #8211; just be with your experience.

 

in love and light

This meditation is the ONE which every teacher and student of CC has done or

will do for a

90 days practice, so you may gets lots of inputs. We just finished CC in the NW

USA and

have been practicing the meditation for about 45 days. Most of us have found

the

meditation " challenging " AND based on its specifics purpose, I am not seeing why

it would

not be " challenging " .

 

The experience of the " challenge " and knowing if you have pushed yourself " too

far " ... " too

fast " ...for your ability to " handle " the changes; difficult to discuss over

emails.

 

My experience is to gradually ease into the practice, in this situation, how

long you are

holding your breath for each of the three inhales.

 

As I understand our practice of house holder yoga, we push/inspire ourselves to

" practical

perfection " .

 

In this situation as I understand the posts, people need to function on a daily

basis; so

ease into it (do not skip any days, ease into the breath holding)...of course if

you can

afford the time and money to go on a 90 day retreat with all the assistance the

body/mind

needs...thats a different story.

 

I am also guessing that people's breath capacity is limited with or without the

meditation.

 

Looking forward to others sharing their experience and knowledge.

 

Appreciation.
