Hello, Pressure in the head can happen as a side effect, take it more easy, keep your body relaxed as you are holding the vase breath and also don't hold it for too long, then the pressure should resolve. There are traditional Tummo techniques that use a somewhat controlled hyperventilation before doing the vase Breathing (, so similar to Wim Hof's technique), but these are very rare in the original tradition. Also if they are done, the breath hold is still done with a Vase Breath, not on an empty lung.

@@vajramandala Thank you for much for the quick response. I'll try and ease a bit more into it. Alright, solely vase breathing it is then. Interesting the forceful breathing is so widespreadly being promoted as an integral element of Tummo. Furthermore, people can't seem to agree on the variation of forceful breathing either. But I digress. I'm glad to have found an authentic teaching of Tummo, beautifully and comprehensively transmitted by the two of you. I'll definitely move forward with the meditation you've presented. I wish you all the best.

Well yes and with a firm grasp on buddhist concepts. Thervada has been a beginning point and end for many. I am still on my journeys starting point and don't wish to speed along and miss something important.

The buddhist dharma emphasizes emptiness of self or selflessness because it was designed that way because the Buddha emphasized anatta and sunyata in the first two turnings of the wheel of dharma. This kind of realization takes place in the subtler of the two subtle bodies which is commonly called causal body. One can have fully realized emptiness and yet have deeply disturbing trauma based behaviour. I know people like this. So it can be concluded that healing happens somewhere and somehow else, and that somewhere just like Mr. Preece briefly refers to has to do with the physical body or to be exact with the subtle body directly connected with the physical body. That is called the astral body in common terms. Root selfishness, negativity and trauma is stored there. The Buddha actually taught practices for this purpose which are the jhanas (the first four) as well as the Four Immeasurables incl. loving kindness towards oneself. In theravada (first turning) there are living arhats who have fully purified the astral body. It is also a fact that because countless theravadins though history have had their bodies shrink at death, we can see that what happens to them is the same what happens with the small rainbow body of dzogchenpas. The common denominator and cause for this is the astral body and its succesful purification which makes it appear as the lightbody or rainbow body. Methods of theravada and dzogchen thogal are very different but they both work with the astral body. Thogal visions are nothing but gradual familiarization of the purity of the astral body where it is experienced in its pure natural condition. To be exact theravada shrinking and vajrayana shrinking are not exactly the same because of the difference in scope of emptiness realization (from bhumis 7-10) but this explains the immense similarity. The way I see it is that the Buddha’s third turning and the doctrine of buddhanature which is post-emptiness is his way of presenting lightbody teaching and the purification of the astral body to those following mahayana who don’t practice jhanas. Mahayana shamatha by the way has the potential to heal traumas but because it is taught as concentration/samadhi practice, people don’t really get healing benefits from it. Hindu deity practices are very efficient for trauma healing because they put emphasis on the astral body.

@@Babassecretchannel We have lifetimes of karma to purify. Also, negative karma can manifest at any time and doing intensive practice can cause karma that would manifest in future lives to appear now, which can be tormenting, but it is nevertheless advantageous because it allows you to purify it whilst you have a human form. Perhaps it's only when you are a fully enlightened being, with no more negative emotions, that you can claim to have a "healthy self"?

@@StimParavane I know people who do not have trauma. They’re doing well in life and enjoying it, unlike the traumatized ones. So to be without trauma is what I’d call healthy ego. That’s not the same as pure psyche or pure ego though. Some of these traumaless people are subtle selfish by not realizing how fortunate life circumstances they’ve had. They have subtle pride and consequentially their subtle bodies do not radiate pure light and all positive qualities like a fully enlightened lightbody does. That’s by the way important to understand that the psyche or ego does not remain merely for the purpose of living in the relative world but actually becomes the absolute. I say that again: the psyche becomes the absolute. That’s what the lightbody is.

You can take as many normal breaths in between as needed for relaxed practice :)

Thanks for your help

You can do it for as long as it is comfortable.

Thanks you
