is full body breathing, in the theory of AYP goint to light the chakras the same as spinal breathing? Meaning if I dont consciously fix on the nerve, just the body expanding. and since spinal breathing is to calm things out, can it be overdone lik DM can?
thanks
Neil

Hi brother neil,
In my experience full body breathing, or Yogic breathing does not have the same effect on the subtle nervous system as spinal breathing does.
Spinal breathing pranayama does calm the body and mind, but it also activates prana in the body, so it can be overdone just like Deep Meditation.

Actually it's Christ I and I, but I like to keep it short.  |

p.s.
For all the advaita fans in the forum, here is the Wikipedia entry on the term "I and I" from the Rastafarian tradition:
I replaces "me", which is much more commonly used in Jamaican English than in the more conventional forms. Me is felt to turn the person into an object whereas I emphasises the subjectivity of an individual.
I and I is a complex term, referring to the oneness of Jah (God) and every human. Rastafari scholar E. E. Cashmore: "I and I is an expression to totalize the concept of oneness, the oneness of two persons. So God is within all of us and we're one people in fact. The bond of Ras Tafari is the bond of God, of man. But man itself needs a head and the head of man is His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I (always pronounced as the letter 'I,' never as the number one or 'the first') of Ethiopia." The term is often used in place of "you and I" or "we" among Rastafari, implying that both persons are united under the love of Jah. See also: mysticism.

Thank you Christi. That is good info. I've always wondered why people would use that term.
One Love,
