[Guest guest]

After the tibetans and when doing the alternative nostril breathing and the

compression prayer is it better / correct  to allow the breathing to find its

own level where  it becomes very slow or is it better / correct  to focus on the

breathing and consciously move the air through the nostrils at a quicker pace?

Hi Julia, usually after doing the Tibetans I am a little short winded and then

doing the nostril breathing afterwards helps me to get balanced/calmed down to

ready me for meditaion after that. I do the alternate nostril breathing slowly

with deep breathes.

 

Love,

Linda

Thanks for your reply Linda. After the tibetans I am not really short winded

much, I find that the breath slows down and becomes slower and slower. Recently

I have found that I am not " content " with the breath / prayer relationship, it

is some how out of sinc.

for example, I am finished the prayer repetitions and I am still inhaling and

again on the out breath I have finished the words and the breath is still moving

out. My breath has gotten so slow that it takes a very very long time to do

21 of them and I find this can be difficult to stay with. On the other hand

sometimes it can become so meditative that I cannot stay with the words. The

crux of the matter seems to be my breath, so it occured to me that perhaps I

should be activly moving and pacing the breath in and out of the nostrils.

If there is no specific or correct way of pacing the breath during the

alternative nostril breathing and compression prayer then I think I will try

breathing in a more pro=active and directive way and see what occurs.

 

Again thanks Linda. Love julia
