Thanks Matt.

It is often normal to get such heaviness or pain when you have recently started meditation practice esp the breath meditation just like how the Ruminant explained. You are focussing and learning a new skill. It takes an effort. Perhaps, you can also slow the breathing down rather than inhaling or exhaling too forcefully.

Yes, I have accepted that you have a lot of questions and want to learn 🙂 I am sure someone or other will try to answer your questions as they find it. Please feel free to start a new thread as this thread is getting a little too long.

I have listened to the Shivani videos more than a dozen times. You are right about needing to hear it and giving it a second thought. I used to practice her message for a week or so before watching the next video. It has been life changing experience. Have patience.

You can also try this meditation, which doesnt require focus or breathing effort but still does the work subtly.
