zfer Posted November 16 Sorry i couldnt choose another category, when i clicked on another, it didnt worked. So I did an exercise advised by my friend for 5 hours a day for 3 weeks. The exercise consisted of imagining white energy forming under my navel when I breathed in, and spreading out when I breathed out. I have an old hobby, which unfortunately doesn't work anymore because I'm really afraid of it. I did the 5 hours of practice every day not because of that, but because I suddenly had a lot of free time and couldn't do anything else. So after 3 weeks I tried that thing again and I felt like I was full of fuel that I hadn't been before and I could face my fears, I just lacked the will. But I didn't do it right away and I noticed later that I was getting less and less of this fuel, on the 4th day it was back to how it used to be. I know that I should do it for a maximum of 1.5 hours a day, but I was really bored and thought it just using 3times more energy so its not a big deal.

Is there anything more to the exercise than "exercise consisted of imagining white energy forming under my navel when I breathed in, and spreading out when I breathed out."? Or is that it?

That is the best breathing exercise there is. It works for you once, it should work for you again. Please don't give it up! I have been doing this throughout my life. Fortunately, I am still doing it for my health. Even, when I sit, stand, walk, or run. Edited November 19 by ChiDragon 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
