Holotropic breathwork

[jay171275]

Hi all, I tried holotropic breathwork a couple of nights ago. I was aiming to do 30 minutes, I got to 25 minutes and had to stop as I had I very intense feeling that I was having a panic attack. After I stopped I did have an amazing body high and felt very refreshed and energised. 

I decided I wanted to try again the next day so I set my alarm again for 30 minutes. I managed to do 36 minutes, but this time nothing happened just the tingling in my hands and feet and a slight feeling of a light being present.

My question is, how many days a week would you recommend I practice breathwork to get the full benefits? Is breathwork the same as psychedelics where you have to double up the next day? Ie... If I do 25 minutes of breathwork one day then the next day I would have to do 50 minutes?

Any advice on this is much appreciated.

Many thanks

Jason.

No need to practice daily. Holotropic Breathwork is best done in intense bursts (e.g 90 minuets once every three months) but you need to work up to it . Otherwise it maybe physically or spiritually dangerous.  Do it once every week or so increasing by 10-20 minuets until you can do atleast an hour then do 1-1.5 hours every now and again

Remember to practice surrender on a deep level. Surrender to emotions that rise . Surruender to the experance and ultimately surrender to the absolute.
