Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hello All, I am a newbie, trying to practice the safeties, and I am at a loss.... I have a question as well as a request. I get lost with the compression breaths, I know it says to start off with a set of inhales (saying your 3 mantras) hold for 3 mantras then exhale for 3 etc. doing this for 15 times to start out with.... Is there, or has anyone put these compression breaths on a cd, if not how do you keep track and not get lost??? If there is a cd out there that I can follow, can I purchase it? Help.... This may be a good way to generate some funds for the group....if someone can put something together for the newbies....I definitely would buy a cd to listen to while going through the practice until it becomes second nature to me. Thanks for you help and response in advance! Love, Light and Blessings, Genevieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hello Genevieve, that's a good idea, having it on CD would help, but not everyone uses the same words for their mantra. Anyways, if you loose count you're suppose to start over. *sigh* I loose count a lot. The way I do it is, at the end of each set I mentally number it and hope I don't forget what number I'm on when I get done with the next set. LOL! I guess you could try keeping up with the count by counting with your fingers, but that is a little hard to do since you have to keep the finger locks in place while doing them. I'm glad you ask though, I would like to hear how others do it.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Its fun to figure it all out! lol! I thought I had it down and then a while back we were told to also use the finger locks when we do it. hahahaha I found a system that works well for me, so I'll share it. I use my right hand, fingers locked, middle finger covers the nostril being blocked each time; left hand, fingers locked, counts. (I keep the left hand on my left knee and let each finger touch on its turn, then I really don't need to count). " One, beginning with the little finger, two moves to the ring finger, etc.. Full hand count three times. Wow, explaining it is more complicated than doing it! Hope it helps someone.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 You are right Dhyana, it is fun trying to figure out how to do things especially when you have to multitask! I enjoy it though! Thanks for sharing with us your technique. It may help others. I do basically the same as you!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi Dhyana I too am a new… At first I had a hard time concentrating and yes I lost track of how many I was doing. (Still do at times and only started with 3 rounds of each) It's ok if this happens we are not perfect and need to move along as the K allows us to. I have accepted that my K knows where I am at and that all is well as long as I am trying my best. I was told that we are not striving for perfection and it's true. So I go along at the pace I am meant to and I try not to panic when I feel it's not being done right or enough. The fact is as long as I am doing my best then it is right for me and I am moving along well.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 LOL! Yeah I do a lot of starting over so I guess i do get a good amount in. If I'm hving too much trouble I just ask Shakti to help me do the right amount and do it until my intuition tells me it's enough. Hehe! I think I heard somewhere that rules are made to be broken.
