today I noticed when laying down breathing the I can focus on breahting in the lower region and fill up the area between my peniuiun and just above the navel. Then when doing a breathign practice i can fill fomr the shoulders down to that are just above the navel. However getting a full breath is blocked by that area just above the navel, either above it or below it instead of all of it. I can force it to incorporate all of it but not as smoothly as when I choose one or the other. thanks Brother Neil
If this is spinal breathing you are attempting to do, just go right past the navel and make sure you end up at the brow at the completion of inhalation and at the root at the completion of exhalation. It is not necessary to stop at any point in-between. If we get stuck, we can pass through that place or jump right over it. That way we are covering the full length of the spinal nerve, which is the best way to assure that obstructions everywhere in-between and beyond will become gradually cleared out. In the AYP approach, we do not attempt to "clear chakras" individually. The approach is much more holistic, and so are the results.
Of course, doing deep meditation right after spinal breathing is the other half of the formula. The two practices done in sequence will produce far greater results than either one alone.
