Re: [BardonPraxis] Re: pore breathing

["Zach" <zach.888@...>]

Hello Rawn,

Your questions have provoked an investigation on my part from which
I have come to some conclusions which I will list for the sake of brevity
and clarity.

1) The energy I described in my previous email is more akin to the water
element and the magnetic fluid and is not the vital energy. As I understand
it
the vital energy is not cool, but more firery.

2) I am suspecting it is accumulating of its own accord because I have
a one sided inbalance towards water and the magnetic fluid. I had to
work very hard at the visualisation exercises, which shows fire was
weak from the outset.whereas I found sound and smell very easy.

3) I am able to accumulate the vital energy but whenever doing pore
breathing the sensations previously described would present
themselves and eclipse/be more noticable than the sensations from
the vital energy.

4) I get the sensations and accumulation of a watery/cool
energy as peviously described whether I breathe fast, slow
or normal, but the sensations are increased if I slow the
breathing down. However, I take your point on breathing
normally and will follow that.

5) I'm not convinced the cool quicksilver energy is a natural
result of breathing slowly, its a very substantial energy
whatever its true name is. For instance, were I to pass it down
my arm into another person they would I think definitely feel it.
Its definitely not a purely subjective sensation but a substantial
accumulation of energy of some sort.

6) My conclusion for now is that I must still have an inbalance towards
the water element.

with all good wishes

Zach
