Hello and thanks for reading... Whenever I perform spinal breathing my body experiences a sort of automatic yoga where my body (originating below the navel) moves in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. I have been following this automatic response and I can feel energy like a doppler radar flowing up and down my spine as I breathe. Should I follow this sort of radiant energy flow, or should I be concentrating this energy into a single line? I have a similar experience, but instead of the energy radiating out like a radar, it is a wave that flows up and down. Follow these automatic responses or limit them? Thank you for your thoughts.
During our practice we stay with the procedure of following our spinal nerve with our awareness as mentioned in the lesson: http://www.aypsite.org/41.html.
You are doing fine and this is perfectly normal. I would neither try to stop it nor help it along, just stay with the practice and let the movements do what they will, try to detach from trying to control them. With time they shift, stop, continue in different ways etc according to your own nervous system. All is well!
