It's felt here more as energy breathing, as ecstatic waves of energy coming from the outside and hitting the heart area in precise.
But this experience from the outside have happened on few occasions, 80% of the time it's all coming from within...
Love,

Mmmm yes I have experienced this on numerous occasions. Breath using the entire body so deeply that it feels that there is not an inch of me that is not the breath. I am all simply breath, prana. One starts to relax so much that I feel like I am about to dissolve, I can not feel the physical boundary of my body anymore, it feels like the oxygen and prana is absorbed by the skin and then that I lose all sensation of skin itself... hmmm I find the experience a little hard to explain perhaps. It is such a beautiful feeling.
I like to often do a body scan during meditation and breathe in and out of each organ, kind of like a little house keeping to keep everyone (my organs) all feeling loved and happy. I find this helps the relaxation process and often precedes the skin breathing. |

What practice led you to this kind of full body breathing? |

| I started to experience this spontaneously practicing and experimenting with pranayama and mindfulness of breathing meditation. I experienced this for the first time when I was doing an intensive, daily yoga practice and daily meditation. |

I sometimes experience breathing through the third eye area in DM. I've no idea what causes it, but it feels very curious. But to be honest; I don't pay a lot of attention to it, as my attention is supposed to be on the mantra  |

I sometimes experience this while in meditation too. But this feeling is most prominent near my finger tips and palms. Its as if the nerve endings are "activated" there and it brings an ongoing vibrational effect with very low intensity but high frequency. In other words, there is no visible vibration but I can feel subtle vibrations inside the fingers(and bloodflow probably contributes to this). The vibrations intensify when im breathing(in or out), and dulls when the breath slows down upon complete inhalation and exhalation.
I heard from a video of Siddhanath Yogiraj that yogis have a phrase: wherever the mind goes, prana follows. So this makes me wonder if the process is like this:
Feel an area->nerve endings are activated->nadis at those locations are activated/open->prana begins to flow in that area(causing a feeling of vibration).
I often notice that if I use any hand mudra(gyan mudra, chin mudra, or fingers interlocked) and dont move my hands+fingers for a while, the feeling begins to happen after 5 mins or something. The same thing happens in conventional yoga nidra practices, where the awareness "touches" different parts of the body, and thereby starting vibrational effects in those parts. |
