Hi All,
Has anyone tried doing the "Heart Breathing" technique?
http://www.aypsite.org/220.html
It sounds good, and I'm going to try it and see what happens..
Anyone experience anything with it?
(I searched the forum and haven't found any thread on it..)
Thanks,
Yonatan |

Hello Yonatan,
Hmmm... Heart breathing has come up in many discussions, but usually in response to another topic/issue.
I practice it several times a week. For me, it's become a staple of my practice. It's a beautiful practice. It opens the heart, and emotions become delicious. With heart breathing, there is a greater appreciation for beauty, and it's easy to become emotionally overwhelmed by it. Love arises and can be tangibly felt in the heart.
It's very powerful, and the effects of overdoing it can be extremely unpleasant. Strong, uncomfortable emotions can come up if you're not ready for it yet (i.e. depression for a few days). So proceed with caution! I would advise starting with only 5 min. and doing it once every few days.
Enjoy!
With Love

Thanks cosmic and Katrine for sharing your experiences,
I tried it yesterday, and only two cycles made me cry and feel a little depression, so I had to lie down for 5 minutes afterwards.. Then I did another 2 cycles, and afterwards it really felt like some of my obstructions and impurities from the heart were gone.. 
It's a really powerful practice,
Thanks
Yonatan |

Hi,
I have a question regarding heart breathing.
When we bring our attention along with breath to the heart center...which heart center are we talking about. Is it the solar plexus(the spiritual heart) or the physical heart(the one that pumps blood throughout our body)?
Thanks for any replies

To the spiritual heart (not solar plexus)... in the middle of your chest. |

I've been doing about 5 heart breaths during my daily puja.
I have to concur: it's an incredibly powerful technique and I'm going to scale back. It feels wonderful, and completely appropriate, when I'm doing it, but I've started to have heart chakra issues (heart flutters and panic-attack symptoms at night, my body filled with a sort of heavy throbbing and pulsing. I'll try one a day and see if that levels things out a bit. |
