I now have this meditation on my iPod along with all the other Openhand meditations for sale on this forum. I did this breathing meditation for the first time very early this morning prodded by Steve's post (thanks, bro!). I do the liquid gold meditation regularly, breathing golden light into the eighth chakra and breathing out through all the chakras from crown down to base chakra and back up from base to crown chakra. As well as the other meditations by Trinity and Open. So I felt somewhat in the groove with this new breathing meditation.

It felt incredibly powerful breathing through the back of my throat/higher mind chakra. I was able to let go of a lot of body tension and infuse the light of my soul. As I continued, it brought me into the calmness and stillness of Absolute Presence. It felt like "gone, baby, gone."

Open, you recommend practicing this breathing meditation 4 or 5 times a day, so I'm going to do my best with this. As a highly sensitive, hypervigilant person who feels every flutter and nuance, I often feel my body contracting in response. So it feels like this meditation will help me unwind and let go of the tension I often feel. Perhaps one day I will be a 'looser' and more relaxed person more often than nought.

I did the meditation lying flat on my back, spine straight, since my room was freezing and I couldn't let go of my covers! Next time I will try it sitting up as you recommend.

Thank you for this!
