Hi folks,
During spinal breathing it seems sometimes tough to visualise it going via central channel and not right or left :D Sometimes its easy. Some tips? :D |

I visualise small ball of light moving up and down, it works fine yet sometimes it does not want to go up and down. Do I apply extra will power to it? or? :D
I tried more i can easily draw lines with dot of attention in legs, etc when it comes to spinal area seems like it wants some promise lol However I value freedom unshackled by promises :D |

Hi arti,
The short answer is I don't know how to ensure the energy stays in the center.
My experience- If it arcs and I could still make it root to brow, I would still favor the center but not be too concerned. If I was swirling around in a side channel and completely lost, not able to find the brow, I would stop and restart. |

Hello Arti,
Welcome to the forums. Like Lalow said you favour the centre. If however your attention gets stuck at some point along the spine and will not move along just jump that portion or jump straight to the centre of your brow if on inhale else root if on exhale. Just be gentle with the process. In time it will all work the way it should. |

Thanks.
quote:
Next, with each rising inhalation of the breath, allow your attention to travel upward inside a tiny thread, or tube, you visualize beginning at your perineum, continuing up through the center of your spine, and up through the stem of your brain to the center of your head.
So from the neck it goes up via back of the head via top and then down to third eye? Following scalp so to say. |

No arti we don't go to the top of the head when doing SB.
From lesson 41 "with each rising inhalation of the breath, allow your attention to travel upward inside a tiny thread, or tube, you visualize beginning at your perineum, continuing up through the center of your spine, and up through the stem of your brain to the center of your head. At the center of your head the tiny nerve makes a turn forward to the point between your eyebrows".
So straight up to the center of your brain/head and then it makes a turn. We don't focus or think about the crown of the head when doing SB. Once you get that down just relax into the process that is SB. It can be a very pleasurable process. |
