Hi Guys, I would like to ask, perhaps, a silly question :
Initially, when I started meditation in February, I felt energy moving out from my feet. I could also feel energy moving in, though it wasn't very frequent.
Lately, I have felt the opposite. Whenever meditating, I can feel energy constantly moving in from my feet, but I am unaware of where the 'unwanted' energy goes. Also, when I hold my breath, some of the energy rises up to my upper body, even to my head. Am I supposed to do that, or not really?
I'm just curious about how the process works. I was wondering if there is any lesson here we could possibly learn? |

Hi Wyn,
Energy (prana) will move around your body during meditation and at other times of the day. It is necessary for life to function. Usually we are not aware of it, but during meditation we can become aware of things that we did not notice before. Also, meditation will cause the flows of energy in the body to change, as part of the purification process. It is nothing to be concerned about unless anything is happening that is uncomfortable or painful.
Sometimes the breath can suspend during meditation and this is quite natural and normal. This is often accompanied with prana rising in the body. Again, it is a natural part of the process of purification. Don't be deliberately suspending your breath during meditation, but if it happens naturally it is fine to let it happen.
There is quite a lot on breaths suspension in the AYP lessons. Just do a search on "kumbhaka" using the search tool when you are on the website homepage. |
