Breathing Meditation.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Hi Deepak,
I have been meditating (breathing meditation) for 6 months. At the beginning I did 20 minutes each day. Recently I increased it to 30 minutes and at night I started listening to your healing CD meditation. During meditation my body would vibrates and I could feel the energy running through my body. One night I woke up with intense pressure in my head and nose. Since then I have become very anxious and get panic attacks. I have stopped meditation, it has been a week. I still feel some pressure on my nose. Please help???
Response:
It sounds like your meditation has brought forth some deep-seated anxiety to be cleared. It is important to get a lot of physical exercise right now. Easing off your meditation for a little while is fine. Now that it has been a week, try easing back into breathing meditation by starting with 5 minutes a day. If meditation is easy, then continue again with 5 minutes the next day. If not, then wait a day and try again. If it's still all right, then increase it to 10 minutes the next day. If 10 minutes of mediation a day continues to be smooth, stay with that for a week, otherwise go back to 5 minutes a day again. Once you have done two weeks at 10 minutes a day, and you feel ready, you can move up to 20 minutes a day. Stay at 20 minutes for a year before you increase it beyond that.
Love,
Deepak

Question:
After attending a program on Meditation and Yoga, I realized the immense power of the both and have started doing them. My problem is when I sit in silence for meditation and observe my breathing with awareness, my breathing becomes abnormal. It is as if my respiratory system feels some kind of pressure when I am observing the breath go in and out. Soon enough I have to take long breathes and the whole process gets disrupted. I have tried a lot, but it just doesn't seem to work. so what should I do to improve this situation? And are there any other alternative methods to this type of meditation? Kindly help me through this problem.
Response:
Your breath doesn’t have to become quiet and shallow for the meditation to be effective. Trust that whatever the breath is doing, whether you are taking long deep breaths or shallow ones, it is exactly what your body needs at that time to normalize and remove the old conditioning that is ready to be released. Remember your job is just to observe the breath, not control, manipulate, or judge it. Let the meditation do what it needs to do without any expectation on your part.
Love,
Deepak
