Changes observed

I'm really delighted about the practicality and indeed have been feeling many positive changes over the past months.

I just wonder about other more unpleasant/unusual changes such as feeling lightheaded (gone with the fairies :-), forgetting things easily, seeking for words/expressions often and making mistakes in writing as if memory and speech have been quite impacted.

For the time being I trust it is more or less a "normal" state of transition to finally come to a certain balance, and also do some additional brain gym. If there is pruning there will be new synapses building I guess, won't they?

Does anyone observe similar changes ?

Hi Kirsty - just curious ....is it one (or all) of the breathing exercises that make you feel spaced out? I know that I, personally, have been through many changes as I continue to practice the breathing exercises and with my meditations. There are periods of time when my meditation practice will deepen. During those times, I have experienced coming back to awareness from my meditation and I don't know where I am or even who I am (just for a moment!). But I also sometimes, just experience the meditation as not that deep, just a brief rest in the course of my day. And I also go in and out of periods of time when words and memory are very different. I find that if I don't judge it or get too hung up on the 'search' for the word or my cellphone, it passes and I return to what I consider a normal state of mind. I do think that shifting from being heavily left brain (logic and intellect) to being more balance left/right sets up a very different kind of operating system in the brain. Peace and Blessings!

Hello and thank you so much, LD, for sharing your own experience and insight ! In fact, it is not after the breathing practices, sorry I've not been clear on it. On the contrary, I very much feel they are utterly helpful (Nadi shodhana I practised before + Ujjayi breathing having such a wonderful immediate effect on the vagus nerve/whole nervous system to counterbalance any stressful impact). It is rather a very profound general change in my functioning in daily life.

Your reassuring words resonates with my feeling that there is a deep change in the brain operating. Such a transition obviously takes time, has a considerable impact and can be quite a bit destabilising after more than 50 years of "being" completely different":-). I trust it will lead more and more to the clear light of pure awareness. Presently, there definitely is already an unusual lovely sense of peace present.

Gratitude and blessings to you, LD, for channeling these beautiful teachings by Solano!
