Guided Belly Pranayama

Didn’t see this til now so sorry for the late reply. The answer is yes! Definitely ways to take it further. Although I’ll answer with what I think is the next step if you want more, I would like to ask, what would more entail to you? What do you mean by beyond? (just tryna gauge where you want to go lol)

Play the video on low enough volume so that your breath is louder than the audio (not hearing my talking/breathing). Then close your eyes and do the practice in your own flow.

Do the mouth breaths continuously and consciously to the extent you get into a flow. Lose track of how many breaths. Just keep going at it and truly consciously breath in and out. Go way past the usual 30. Keep in mind, it might feel annoying at first to go beyond these breaths at first, but as you keep pushing past that feeling, breathing feels effortless and entrancing. Eventually, take your final breath in and release. Then hold… for as long as you can. Focus on the present moment. Focus in on your awareness. Just be.

When you start to feel discomfort in any way, embrace it. Love the feeling. And then finally when you reach your limit, you take in that deep breath in and hold it… for as long as you can. Then release.

What you’ll realize is you were able to hold for way longer than the video goes for. If you’ve been doing this daily for a while, your capacity to hold will increase dramatically. And these longer hold states lead to deeper experiences.

Obviously you then switch to nose. Then both. And then just do nose more relaxed and in a meditative flow.

The goal is to do more breaths and hold for longer. Listening to your body while at the same time pushing past your limits. It literally gets to the point where 2 minutes and 30 seconds of holding my breath feel like nirvana… without even getting the urge to breath. (having the original video playing in the background allows you to still get field benefits)

Afterwards, the synchronized breathing takes you even deeper.

And honestly… it can go even deeper than that. I’ve made some powerful additions tothe practice that have long lasting effects and also allow for reprogramming of the self. But the other additions could be far too intensive and sorta risky. It’s like a mix of this practice and kundalini yoga but an easier (yet not easier) way of doing so. I’ll keep refining this more advanced practice til I feel that it’s safe enough for others. And it’s only a practice that someone who’s become adept at doing the pranayama could do anyways. So maybe I’ll share it with just some of ya’ll? I don’t know yet. But it’s exciting to me. Discovered some cool things along the way.

PS: You might want to check out @anon32464289 's soma recommendation as it is always advanced breathwork.

@SammyG in what other positions can this breathing be performed? just asking cus it hurts my back real bad, to the point it feels like i have to let go of trying to hold it up or straight

I am really looking forward to doing this every single morning / day, it feels amazing lol. Thank you for this video and practices and all of the effort you put into it :D

Technically you can do it laying down as well. Hand movements can be a lot more calm an not so exaggerated laying down (would be more difficult). But you’ll still be able to get the same flow.

i was getting a lot of thoughts whilst doing this at the beginning with my eyes closed, but recently i’ve started focusing on a black hole that would drag any thought in, and it’s working very good

This always makes me feel whole, content, energized, alive, aware…Took a few times to get used to the long holds, now they are my favourite part.

Reminds me of how much anxiety and stress is due
to lack of oxygen. 2 rounds back to back seem to be my sweet spot.
Laying down makes it way more intense.

When I did this today, my whole face and hands got numb and tingled. My vision is still shaking.

Glad you’re enjoying it. I still do this daily and it keeps me grounded for the day. If I get disoriented, doing this tends to bring me right back to balance quickly too.

Quick tip: During the holds, think of having exactly what you want by the end of the day. As in, you succeeded all your tasks/goals for the day. This helps allign your willpower to your goal and give you an extra push.

What a wonderful experience this was while listening to The Plasma Flaunt :D

@SammyG do you happen to know why sometimes I don’t get that blissful / ecstasy feeling when I hold my breath? what can I do to feel it more often?

This is a gem, absolutely in love with this! I just tried it twice today, now I can feel my whole body is vibrating, and some pain in my body is gone.

Definitely going to do this everyday.

Thank you Sammy and Dream!

Already used up quite a bit of dopamine/serotonin for the day maybe lol. Also, we get more when we continually push ourselves even more than we did the last time. So I tend to have the field on while I go much further than the video goes and hold my breath for much longer as well, and then I still reach that bliss.

Go for it! It really does clear things up and make you more focused, resilient and at peace the more you do it.

Back on this awesome practice.

My body intuitively does the root chakra mudra during it, today I´ve began closing my eyes during most parts of the video.

Last night I´ve done it it 2x, while listening to Gratitude For Blessings and felt such a wave of gratitude for @SammyG and @El_Capitan_Nemo, released emotional pain and started crying.

I´ll be more disciplined with it from now on. Excited to see where this will take me.

Let me know how that goes for you friend. I’m still doing it and am all the more stronger for it.

Can this cause harm if not done properly, I’m afraid because often i end up lifting my shoulders or having improper posture

Nonetheless I’ve been doing this practice for 2 weeks and its just damn good

Still on it 2-4x / day.

Testing it in conjunction with different fields.

Chi compression into lower Dan Tien intensifies this practice a lot, I can feel it especially from my solarplexus downwards and in my face.

While listening to negentropic Jing, the feeling moves upwards towards my head.
I guess this is the transmutation aspect?

It´s wild experiencing these things for oneself, looking back, I was stuck way to much in theory.

After every round, I feel overall way more centered and balanced.
Like returning back to my base vibration, more “negentropic” in a sense.

Energy cleaned and charged, reduced stress and anxiety, feeling ready to take on the day.

Cardio has gone way up thanks to this. Cut the time I need for my daily biking route, by half.

After todays first round, my head became very heavy, blissed out and all.

The top of my brain felt like having an orgasm for around a minute.

Wild stuff!
