It was 2018 when I decided to do more research into Dr. Dispenza and his work. I purchased his book Becoming Supernatural in September of 2018. I was facinated by the concept of being able to perform what most would call “superhuman” acts, such as energy healing or levitation which the description of the book mentioned. Mostly I was interested in healing the mylan damage on my brian and spinal column due to Multiple Sclerosis.
Back Story: Thanks to Google‘s relentless data grabbing it was obviously placed into the ether of digital advertising algorithms that I had been searching for meditation videos on YouTube so I soon found myself face to face with advertisements on Facebook for the Gaia Network. As much as I think Google is an invasive pain-in-the-ass, I’m actually grateful it ended up introducing me to Gaia because that’s where I found Dr. Joe.
By the end of October I had read the entire book and had been practicing the breath for 29 days. I purchased and downloaded the meditation Space Time- Time Space from Dr. Dispenza and began using it every morning at the beginning of October. That was my introduction to the breath as Dr. Joe guides you to do the breath in the meditation. At first I had no idea what I was doing and just followed along with the instructions in the meditation. I felt a little stupid doing the breath at first because I had no reference for what exactly I was doing. So I did some further research. It was explained in the book Becoming Supernatural but I needed a little more information so I did some searching on the internet.
… I feel it’s important to have some basic information about it first, so I recommend doing your own reasearch into this practice, as well…
In short, the breath is a way of physically stimulating the pineal gland and awakening energy in your body. I won’t go into the exact steps in this blog post as I feel it’s important to have some basic information about it first, so I recommend doing your own research into this practice, as well, just as I did. You can visit Dr. Dispenza’s website where you can purchase his books or you can visit his YouTube page.
I passed out. —you read that correctly— I passed out.
As I stated already, I had been practicing the breath for 29 days. It took me 29 days to finally do the breath correctly. How do I know I did the breath correctly? I passed out. —You read that correctly—I passed out. I didn’t know at first that I had passed out because I’ve actually never passed out before. I just thought that my brain had spontaneously switched into this altered state and it was all new and fascinating to me. As I continued to do the meditation everyday, though, I realized, rather undeniably (and unceremoniously), that I was actually passing out when this happened:
I was sitting at my computer desk one day, headphones on, following along with the meditation when it came time to perform the breath. Then, right in the middle of doing it, the lights went out. When I came to, I was face down on my desk, shaking. When I lifted my head and completely came to, I realized that my head had slammed down on the desk because my lip was bleeding and beginning to swell. My front tooth cut the inside of my lip and there was blood on the notebook my face had been planted on. That’s when I realized that what had been happening was that I was actually passing out, I just hadn’t gone completely out like I did in this particular instance.
As I stated in the About section of my blog…I dive right in, head first, without a safety net or life vest. I don’t recommend this. I also stated that I will give you the honest truth, the good and the bad. So perhaps this wasn’t the best aspect of doing this breathwork. But I did manage to find some videos of Dr. Dispenza speaking at a conference of his about the breath and passing out. According to the video, the body can pass out as a response to the energy that is being released and sent into the head. The body is adjusting to the energy —this can also cause the body to shake.
Well, regardless…I’m kind of not a fan of the whole passing out thing. But it’s me!…I continued with the practice! As I did so, I became more familiar with these energies. It took some time. As of now, it’s been nearly 3 years that I’ve been incorporating the breath into my meditations and daily practice and it has been an impressive tool!
I’ve passed out so many times over the past couple of years that I can’t even count them anymore. But I think it’s important to note that when this happens, as I’m regaining my consciousness, I am aware of intense shaking in the body. I actually videoed myself meditating and caught it all on video. My eyes open, roll up, head slumps over and my body starts to shake until I regain consciousness. Then, as my consciousness comes back, I have a moment of confusion followed by—believe it or not—a feeling of relaxation.
…when I do it right I actually feel a smile come across my face…
I’ve gotten myself to a point where I feel energy building and running through my entire body when I do the breath and it feels amazing! My whole body tingles and relaxes even though I am clenching certain parts of the abdomen. It actually sometimes feels “right”. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it. It feels, to me, like I’m meant to cultivate this state. When I do it right, I actually feel a smile come across my face!
Another benefit I’ve found of this practice is that it helps to activate chemicals in the brain that anesticise the thinking brain (or frontal lobe of the brain). When I continue on with my meditation after doing the breath, it’s actually easier to go deep and to control my thoughts.
I’ve obviously been doing this practice for a couple of years now, so I’ve become accustomed to the potential passing out but that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t scare me or that I necessarily like it. I still fight it at times and when I come to I find that I’m clutching the edges of my meditation chair. Obviously trying to keep myself from going black. I’ll admit it, it’s still scary to me. But I also feel that if I pass out I must be doing something right.
I’ve grown to love and appreciate the breath over the past 3 years.
I’ve actually had the most recent experience of feeling what, to me, felt like an energy block in my upper abdomen as I did the breath. It was followed by this intense energy that seemed to be building in my heart chakra. At this point, I utilized something I had learned with Energy Codes (I’ll describe that in another post), recognized it as a stuck energy and focussed on moving it up into my head. Suddenly, when it moved, I was hit with this warm energy that seemed to fill my heart. It felt so good and it brought me such an intense and sudden sense of happiness that I began to cry! That had never happened before and I’ll admit it, it hasn’t happened since LOL. But I try to make it happen every time now. I’m smiling so big, just thinking about this as I write. I wish everyone could experience what the breath has brought to me!
It took time and patience in order to finally master this particular practice. A month to do it right and another couple of years to really fit it into my daily practices, get used to the energy and make it truly a part of who I am, but I really feel like it has worked for me. It took personal growth along the way, as well. My recommendation to you if you choose to venture on this path is to be patient and gentle with yourself. It may take some time to fully embody it.
Good luck!
