The Art of Holding the Breath

Everything is Consciousness And Consciousness is breathing The Holy Spirit The Breath of Life
In Breathing is Life And Not-Breathing is Death Death is an Illusion Our bodies die, but our Souls live on Eternally, by way of Honest Love and Family Unity And all ordered & governed by the Art sub rosa
A man in his studies learned To begin at rest, then return to rest A spiral stairwell opens, it turns four times, upward, through four levels of consciousness. The man breathes in slowly for 12 seconds, holds his breath for 10 seconds, then expires slowly for 10 seconds, Then in for 10, holds it for 8, then expires for 8. And this goes on for as long as possible
And what this does is, this moves the occupant of the seat of consciousnes one level higher. And the heart starts to beat faster.
Next he must take a quick breath of air, and start again, on level two now. And again & again to reach level four.
A man in his studies learned that, as he met with each new level, his mind was open to all True Revelations, always connected to Art or Music or Dance, during the episode of contemplation & enlightenment.
So then the man learned to integrate the breathing exercise together with Art which he loved
As he tried to hold his breath, at the fourth level, he found that during the Supreme Miracle of Union with God, mistakes or accidents would happen
For example, upon entering the fourth climate, sometimes the phone would ring, or the art or music or dance would lose it's perfect display of Perfect Oneness. So the man had to build a sort of temple area suited to combine the Art with the Breathing exercise, to be free of any strange distractions.
The man also learned that by making a sequence of hand gestures, as if screwing a light bulb in with his left hand, and squeezing the air with his right hand This locked him into the moment where his mind & gestures was deciding the fates of endless patterns of matter in motion, extending the end of the universe itself, and the central heart of God. And during this practice often he would lose his breath and disrupt the cycle.
You can imagine all the energy of the atoms of the world as moving and swirling, breathing in and out. Man is connected to that very breath of all things. So if you hold your breath, it seems to speed everything around you up, so that the art and perfect timespace position all add up. And time stops, because you are entering into Eternity, where everything is happening at once and basically revolving around you, and by way of what you love.
All trouble & accidents are bound by perfection It is made that way so that only the Honest & Pure of Heart can figure it out To occupy the space that is called Union with God
Often I hear people say, why is religion so hard to understand, or god doesn't make sense it's complicated, why isn't it simple?
i'm telling you how simple it is. Have Water. Hold your breath.
it's the simplest funnest thing that can be done holding the breath, transcending time & space nothing is more fun than witnessing the miracle that U/R God

Not holding your breath....but proper posture so that your breath can be allowed to fully function unhindered...to get lost in the breath.....to be consumed by breathing.....to breath properly so one can breath free...not holding the breath at all...

Holding the breath is a part of pranayama, a yogic breathing control practice. I have recently started to practice it while walking to and from class. 6 steps breathing in, hold, breathing out.
It is good

by way of a sort of hyperventilating and lack of oxygen
it increases the spin of the Merkaba Feilds and can be used to raise the consciousness to the highest possible level
Nitros Oxide can be introduced for those having trouble gaining speed to arrive ahead of schedule (right time right place)

so its 12 10 10 10 8 8 10 8 8 10 8 8 10 8 8 10 8 8 10 8 8
over and over or does it go 12 10 10 10 8 8 12 10 10 10 8 8
etc? counting one thousand one slowly like a clocks seconds, or does it not matter as long as you are counting in a standardized manner?

Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

let it be known what is written above is just a sample to give you an idea of how The Art of Holding the Breath works.
as for the exact seconds, 12, 10, 10 10, 8, 8
that is something you will need to work out for yourself however, mastering this Art will make it much more simple for you when it comes time to occupy the ascension seat

for icelander and fireworks
we can remove that whole segment
it really isn't important if there is a soul or if it lives on after death
what is important is that through the Art of Holding the Breath, you can sort of pressurize time, to bring the mind to a miraclulous state where it's witnessing itself creating the universe and governing the world, like God.
as if when the mind has the power to control the breath of life like a valve, it suddenly has power over Life Itself. transcendentally, one breath is every Breath, and one life is every Life.

I wonder if that was why all those guys were choking themselves while jacking off. I may have to give that a try.

However you choose to get your kicks, I guess. I usually just try some mushrooms.
Breathing is a natural process, and it makes sense to allow that process to be, as far as I am concerned. I'm not so sure why we should try to suffocate our brain in order to perceive any aspect of reality.
Peace.

I am with you on that one. Any technique used to impede the body's function sounds like crap.

well if you read the thread carefully i did mention nitros oxide when if used in generous amounts integrating the yoga, bringing together gestures, posture, breathing, and Art
you have the catalyst for union with God right there shrooms makes it easier yes, that's always a given....
the point is by controlling the valve of the breath of life you can speed up the merkaba feilds to a point where miraculous events happen- to anyone. not just some people, but everyone, this is a proven method that works
a map to total union of one with all god works in mysterious ways always simple, like holding the breath

Puraka: Means inspiration (taking air in, taking spirit or life in) Khumbaka: Means retention of breath (suspension between opposites) Rechaka: Means expiration (expulsion of breath, also means death)
There is symbolism in working with these three phases of Pranayama, but your number ratios are off by the reckoning of classical Yoga as systematized by Patanjali. The correct ratio of inhalation and retention is 1:4, beginning with 4 seconds inhalation, 8 seconds retention and 8 seconds exhalation. One works up to 5:10:10, then 8:16:16. Fifteen to twenty rounds daily, alternating inhalation and exhalation through left and right nostrils.
When one is able to reach 8:16:16 comfortably, the ratio is changed to 1:4: 2 (4:16:8 to start) the goal is 8:32:16! The retention time gets longer, symbolizing the suspension of the cycle of breathing (cycle of life) between in-breath (birth) and out-breath (death), or inspiration-expiration. Between the heart beat of the dual process, is suspension or 'cessation' symbolizing liberation or nirvana. You ARE right about the 'compression' or perhaps the intensity of Khumbaka during which Eternity may be experienced, wherein there is no duration of time. Eternity IS the Reality that transcends life and death, and which 'survives' death in a matter of speaking. It is the Realization of Ultimate Reality and the Knowledge that it is the Ultimate Ground of our personal self-awareness that constitutes Eternal Life, not our personal survival of death.

There are two types of kumbhaka: Abhyantar Kumbhaka - retention after puraka Bahya Kumbhaka - retention after rechaka
The four phases of breath can be combined in various ratios, and with other practices such as Nadi Sodhana (alternate nostril breathing). Kumbhaka is usually combined with Jalandar Bandha (placing the chin in the notch between the clavicles) and Undiandha Bandha (drawing the lower abdomen up and in to the spine). These two locks must be released before the beginning of Rechaka. Mula Bandha (drawing the floor of the perineum, between the anus and genitals, up) should be performed continuously during Pranayama, particularly during Kumbhaka.
1:4:2 is the most frequently cited ratio for Puraka:Kumbhaka:Rechaka. This can also be used as 1:2:4 if Bahya Kumbhaka is used. However, there is no absolute proscription against combining both Abhyantar and Bahya Kumbhaka, using other ratios, or even continuously varying the ratio.
Some good practices are: Nadi Sodhana - In a comfortable seated posture, form a gesture with the right hand such that the little and third fingers are extended and together, the index and middle fingers are folded to the palm, and the thumb is extended. Rest the arm against the torso so that the third finger may be used to block the left nostril or the thumb to block the right. Blocking the right nostril (thumb rests easily on nostril, hand is relaxed), inhale through the left. Pause to release the right and hold the left (this should be an easy movement of the forearm) to exhale. To start with, use a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 Puraka:Rechaka. If you decide to incorporate Kumbhaka, be sure to incorporate the bandhas mentioned above.
Kapalabhati - this is a quick breath with emphasis on exhalation. To begin, inhale to a relaxed state. Exhale forcefully - following exhalation, relax - you should inhale without any muscular effort, as you have forced more air out of your lungs than they hold when relaxed. Repeat exhalation, and gradually increase the speed of your breath. Stay relaxed and don't force it.
Bhastrika - similar to kapalabhati, but with equal emphasis on inhalation and exhalation. This is a more challenging practice - to start with, emphasize the inhalation, and allow exhalation to be relaxed. If you don't consciously emphasize inhalation, you will quickly find yourself practicing Kapalabhati.
There are many, many other practices of pranayama, and various authorities give differing definitions and advice.

I'm not the one who needs this information. Pass it to Telepylus. I've practiced Yoga since 1973. Thanks for posting though.
