That was weird.
And I was so confused :neutral_face:
But I stuck with it.
I think I went out. Not sure. I didn’t hear it for a bit and I didn’t feel anything and then he came back on. Then I felt like was floating. I was laying on my back and it wasn’t morning. Wow.
I’ll definitely try that one again.
I better get up slowly.
:pray::pray::pray:

Right?!! Omg i felt weird too. I actually got goosebumps when i opened my eyes. I dont think i knew what i was expecting from this. And i wasnt even sure if i was doing the breathing properly haha but i totally felt weirdly energeized and focused

It sounds like it really impacted you… hopefully in a good way tho!

Ya I’m good. I think. I didn’t know if I was breathing right either. But then I’ve learned not to worry about it. I can’t wait to try it in the morning sitting in my chair.

I just got out of a late hot shower after doing the meditation, and writing you, and I’m fucking relaxed as hell. And my back doesn’t hurt. I was lying on an ice pack during it too.

Pretty cool stuff when you get an interesting one like that. Thanks for sharing.

And thanks for starting this thread @Twinnie :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Did it again this morning.

I felt like I was on defense preparing for it :grimacing:
I certainly don’t remember the nostril thing so I must have passed out yesterday during it. And frankly I don’t like working that hard when I meditate. Funny calling that hard work :sweat:
It was ok though. I felt good after and was conscious through the whole thing. Still a bit confused on the breathing in the beginning.

I totally get this… the whole being on defensive and not wanting to intentionally work that hard at meditation. I felt like I was working too hard also yesterday so idk if it was really relaxing :woman_shrugging:
I like to meditate in the shower or bath and last night i made the mistake of trying the “Breathe of Fire” with the shower on. I sucked up water thru my nose lol not plesant at all :rofl: Idk about this one lol I think this breathing technique takes practice and im not sure if im willing to put in the energy or time to get it lol

I experienced some dreams after this meditation that took me into past pains. Helpful for healing those dormat feelings. It is for me anyways, I dont remember my childhood so it brought up memories.

Yeah it was. And the realization that the feeling I was experiencing in the dream were familiar didnt come until I woke up to pee. Then as I lay there going back to sleep I started putting it all together.

I vaguely remember being alone alot as a child, lonely and not included. But I couldnt ever remember how it made me feel. This brought up the physical sensation it was pretty healing.

This was the best.

I can’t wait to do it again tomorrow and my “intention,” is to do it many mornings. Thank you Billy.

My only problem is…… when I try a new one recommended by y’all I feel like. I got to critique it. I know I don’t. But I still couldn’t get you out of my head. Thanks for the recommendation. Nice voice. No work. And the sun hitting my face in the morning brought me back to South Padre Island, Texas, when we use to live there. Just across the bay from ya.
Have a wonderful sober day my friend.

I’m so happy you liked it. I was thinking this morning about how TS is my favorite “group” I have 3,lol. Still haven’t found Al-anon I like. Tried a virtual,ng,bunch of whiny the pooh old women. I forgot to try yesterday,a meeting nearby in a nice park. :upside_down_face: Anyway I like this thread I hadn’t seen until a few days ago. So many threads on TS. Have a great weekend dude… You’re an inspiration. Grateful to know you.

Thanks.
Appreciate you too.
I started this awhile back. I’ll step in my own, “should” and say I should use it more :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I didn’t think it appropriate to call it Al-Anon but that was my idea. I think there’s so good stuff on there.
Have a good rest of your day.
