Dougji!! So glad you liked this! Yes! It really makes a difference when this comes together, and we can see it in the personality as well. I was going to go into that, but the time got a little long. Perhaps in another video. Merry Christmas!!!
Thankyou Forrest for your quality advise, I have been blessed with more progress in the last few months than many years beforehand. your 4th phase of breath training is great. Thankyou again Love from me and the great white north.
Always fresh and new when I relisten to the videos you have presented. The value and extent of the information, incredible, beautiful. So grateful I understand. “Conscious and clean, rather than conscious and in your face.” Thank you Forrest.
Forrest, I dunno what kind of education you have, but I have been a seeker all my life and have studied many different schools of thought in life and I always learn things I have never heard of in your videos. Thank you!
WOW thankyou for this. i had a part of me while meditating show me a picture in my mind of injury; so i asked 'what is that' as i do not have a physical injury and i got the answer that it was a message - this is exactly it. Thankyou so much for explaining this
Beautifully said and easily understood and embraced. For some reason this reminded me of the book from start to finish by Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are. “And now,” cried Max, “let the wild rumpus start!” “And (he) sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and through a day and into the night of his very own room where he found his supper waiting for him and it was still hot.”
I love that book! Yes it's really so! And I was after kundalini (and experiencing it) until I realized all we really need is a little rise of Prana, and the sense of self goes with it. Falling back to the brain. "Where Supper is waiting," all this time.
I can do khechari mudra without any tension on the frenulum, by making a vacuum in the mouth (removing all the air, obviously), more specificaly, pulling the soft palate down, with time your tongue muscles will become so strong, that you can easily put it behind the uvula and then up the soft palate. Pulling the soft palate down is the same as lifting the tongue upwards, the only difference is where you're aplying the force, but is the same goal.
Can you explain more clearly how to "pull the soft palate down'? I have to gently push my tongue toward the opening and then I am in kechari. I have been doing Talabya Kriya yet I haven't had much luck strengthening my tongue so as not to have to use the assist of my finger.
@@kantamasters that's because the soft palate needs a stretch. You can do this by repeatedly pushing the tongue through, or if you can hook your thumb on the soft palate you can pull it towards your teeth and so stretch it. If you have questions about that you can call me and I'll walk you through it.
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you so much, Forrest. Is the soft palate the tissue around the 'hole'. That is what I should be stretching? I still do regular tongue stretching frequently.
This is wonderful stuff. Ive added the meditative mellows exercises to my daily routine, and will report, but already I can feel the shallow breathing after a few minutes practice. Very grateful for these teachings and for your work Forrest. Happy Christmas to you and all your family! love from the rainy country across the pond!
So amazing and so wonderful!! Congratulations! I'm so happy to hear you're getting such great success already!!! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! 🎄🎄🎄 God bless! 🎇🎇🎇
Just started the Tranquil 4th phase breath. I now combine HRV, Tranquil Breath, Om Japa (focusing on the belly to reduce fear), and the Three Locks into my meditation. What I can say for sure is I have deeper meditations and way more control of the sexual impulse and other cravings. Overall, it's been a great blessing :) You also mentioned diet. I would love to hear more in subsequent videos about this. I know it's a touchy subject, but I just started a low carb, high fat diet and it's been beneficial to me. Would love to hear more of your thoughts.
Amazing Mihir! Really fantastic! Your improvement means everything to me! ... I will talk more about diet since it seems a big need for many. Thank you!
I discovered lots of things about us humans. One of them is that by using the tongue to put pressure on the hard palate, as well as swallowing properly, and keeping good posture throughout the day can help expand our airways, making respiration much more efficient.
I would suggest it is your inward concentration, and posture, which is affecting the rate of you breath. What I teach primarily on this channel is to do this in concert with the heart in Resonance. We call this HRV Resonate Breathing. You might like it, as it will multiply the results you're already getting.
Daniel, fantastic! It makes it all much more bearable when we can understand it, I think. And actually move past the energy phase, and into the Absorption phase.
@@bhanjaanthony my email is thatyogiguy@gmail.com my book is Hacking the Universe, I wrote 10 years ago. It doesn't have this information. I'll be writing a book on Kriya Yoga, but it will be a little later. The training I talked about in this video is at www.meditativemellows.com/
Is there anyway I can contact I have had a profound experience I can not explain in words I have so much to explain but I truly have so much to talk about I been practicing kechari mudra and I feel like I'm getting so close
I want to also show you a before and after my physical appearance is literaly changing I have to show you this is my contact just let me know it's you 3478029971
Forrest, what was that book you mentioned in one of your videos that talked about the amygdalas of left and right hemisphere? When I was listening to that video, the picture of Yin-Yang flashed in my mind for some reason, and now I'd really like to read the book but can't find the video.
Whenever I close my eyes something starts rising from my root chakra and goes up to the head. Then there is a tingling feeling on my head for a few minutes. Then my mouth opens and the tongue waggles like a snake. Then the tongue goes inside and tries to reach my throat. Would you know why this is happening? And only why it happens when I close my eyes? This happens everyday before I sleep
Hi Lucca, I think it is likely a hindrance to see the spiritual eye. I have a video on Tamarind and have reports that it has helped to see the spiritual eye. It's easy to get a toothpaste without it. I have a link at the very bottom of the video.
Hi Forrest. I’ve been experiencing things moving inside for almost six months straight now. Sometimes it is very scary, like the energy is trying to leave my body. It has been very difficult to make my days productive. I’m not sure what to do. Is there anything I could do?
Take some long calming breasts and focus on the medulla. If that doesn't help practice grounding exercises. It's also helpful to get some extra vitamin B and vitamin D because these are often used up in an experience. Watch all of my Kundalini videos so for example Kundalini in a car. try and understand that these are the subconscious movements through the body. So for example you breathe in and you breathe out and you don't have to think about it your subconscious does that for you. This just happens to be one of the primary things that a yogi will feel inside of himself that everything is moving. That's right it's been moving all this time and you've lived all this time so you're going to be just fine. In yoga we are moving from the left brain to the right brain. And during that process we lose the awareness of our body but we should not be losing our awareness. So I'm telling you you're not going to die far from it. You are consciousness might be asking you to go into that expansive experience of the right brain but it will not happen if you're not ready for it.
I felt Kundalini energy at the base of my spine buttocks running down my legs down my arms and up into my head but it doesn't seem to go up the spine. I've been meditating off and on since I was 16 and 65. I'm doing the breath work and it's a challenge cuz I do have asthma/COPD. Any thoughts or guidance?
Try the faster rate of 7 breaths per minute. th-cam.com/play/PLEWoAemgKO6EDnAum2Wg5D9RcbtmtEYng.html You don't need to feel any kundalini symptoms in any certain way.
Is it normal to have a first experience of this centered in the third eye? I had several sleepness nights about a month ago that took me into the feeling of emptiness, and then my body came alive energetically, like I was on fire, and began doing all sorts of movements on its own, arching my back, opening my mouth like there was a bowling ball passing through it etc. During the day I felt like I was being dragged into the back of by head. Things have since quieted down somewhat, but my throat and heart have begun to come online in a similar way to what my third eye had done. I'm particularly aware of my throat which feels like it has a snake in it.
Yes, all of these are normal "kundalini" symptoms. It's the conscious becoming aware of the subconscious. If it ever becomes too much, talk to your Unconscious before you sleep, and ask it to Go Ahead and quiet these symptoms down for you.
I would love to do that, but I don't think YT would be a place for that. You could email me at thatyogiguy@gmail.com. Maybe you have a specific question that I could answer, if not in a video, then in an email. Did you see the training at www.meditativemellows.com/ This may answer some of your questions.
Yes that's correct that's what I'm saying, however it is spiritual and that you are so much more aware of everything going on inside of you, you are integrating with your subconscious brain waves, and you are beginning to separate yourself from Total identification with the body. So very spiritual and very much a subconscious Awakening.
Forest...how many samadhis are you proficient...I mean samprangnyat and A-sampranyat is ok but above them...like nirvikalpa or Sanjeevan or dhramamegh .. sabij or neerbij??
I once asked Forrest "How do you do it, how do you deal with everything in your life?" He responded, "I RELAX."
Thank you brother. :)
Haha...I get this question too and I give the same answer 🙌🙌🙏🏼

Hi, Forrest ji, HRV is in which phase of breathing practice?
4th Phase of Breath is Patanjali's definition. Under that definition, HRV would be 1 and 2 phases of Pranayama, leading to the 4th Phase.
