Continuing the discussion from Ultimate Reiki - Star Exercise Meditation:
Hey guys, as promised, this topic will explore the correct breathing technique(s) for the Star Exercise Meditation.
Currently, my technique is to breathe into my abdomen as much as possible (eventually I chest breathe towards the end). And then exhale a short but strong gust of air through my nose (although some of it still goes through my larynx).
Any and all breathing techniques are welcome to be explored here.
Personally, I do intense deep inhales that start at the bottom of my feet and end in my crown. When I breathe out I let it out gently so, in essence, Iām taking more oxygen than Iām letting out.
Takes me about 2-5 breaths to feel fully electric (something vibrating inside my whole body).
I donāt think thereās a ācorrectā itās a matter of how connected youāre to your awareness and energy.
I do find that the deeper the inhales, the faster I feel the energy (although only in the legs for some reason).
Less blockages = more energy sensitivity 
Gonna loop the plasma field. That should fix every problem I have 
Use a releasing method while you do, youāll get 1000x more ābang for your buckā.
Yeah now that you mention it, I wonder if accumulated emotional baggage causes energy blockagesā¦
You have some fun to play with 
Stop wonderingā¦ it does.
That sure does explain a helluva lot of stuff.
You are talking about the same thing
The Latin derivative for the word emotion , āemotereā, literally means energy in motion
Wow! Never knew that!
For me, the breathing procedure for the exercise which is exclusively through the nose and to my belly works well for me. There is also flexibility in this since you can breathe fast or slow and the number of breathing cycles per session is really up to the practitioner.
@anon32464289 posted in the Reiki thread that he was willing to give his generous advice regarding breathing methods to those interested. I just started to read the book Transcendence by Zivorad Slavinski after I read a post by @_OM about him. I learned about his Pineal Breathing technique and modified it a bit for use in my daily meditation. It is effective for me but just clarifying the details because Zivorad doesnāt mention it. Do we breathe thru the nose exclusively like the Reiki Star? Or do we inhale thru nose and exhale thru the mouth?
Again, @_OM thanks for mentioning him.
For star exercise, exclusively thru the noseā¦
Not sure about Pineal Breathingā¦
You could send Vladimir an email about it tho.
Heās familiar with Zivās techniques.
Is this you and your girl @_OM ? 
I literally watched that video earlier this evening and thought about commenting about wanting to try it out because it was different. But then decided against doing that lol.
roflā¦never seen thisā¦
Do NOT do what he was doingā¦
(so much gyrating!!!)
lol but thatās the ābasicsā ā¦
Itās obvious he learned this from someone who learned it from someone who actually knew what they were doing
Lmao i was like uhm do i need to do first what the girl does ? that little dance? I laughed so hard
The man was just trying to impress the lady
For youā¦Yes.
You must do that lovely dance and post it online in order to get full effectivenss.
Dem the rulez!
