Preface: I didn’t update yesterday because I didn’t have the energy to be honest plus I had to take care about things in home and such so i.e. daily life ruined the update but here it is regardless. Despite the entry date being made today, I still did them the date that’s presented below. I know this because I make vlogs that I won’t put out on here anymore that tells me the date. So without further ado, here we go; in the update below I was 17 of 30 breaths in.
Organ Breathing - Update #3
2021-09-19T22:00:00Z
Notes and experiences: at this time I was sitting inside my living room on the couch, the living also is my temple space until I manifest a new home that will have more room so to speak. It’s the same routine as before as detailed in the first update (post), so nothing new there. However, I added a little tweak to this by using a technique from Robert Bruce (all credit goes to him) he mentions this in the Mastering Kundalini course that you reverse your breath by inhaling through your mouth and exhaling through your nose. This will according to myself put you in a trance state rather quickly; and you probably wonder how does this relate to this practice? I think it does because of the following reasons:
-
Getting into a trance state is a key to accessing pretty much anything in these arts. Because trance states as they’re called these days makes you more in tune with the spiritual realms, if you will. Ok…how? - by keeping your conscious mind and Mr. Stupid (inner critic) at bay; shutting those off temporarily while allowing the subconscious mind to rise up and meet with your conscious mind, which will usually help with making spiritual experience more natural and more real. Ok seems legit? Again, how does this relate to this at all? - I think it does relate in this way; if you’re more in tune with the spiritual realms, you’ll likely feel and experience the intensity of an exercise like this a bit better. Meaning the effects of pulling in energy from the immediate environment through your pores will have a clearer effect upon you, which will in turn make you trust yourself and the process more, which is breeding ground for success with these arts.
-
If you breathe more deeply as you tend to do if you breathe through your mouth then you take breaths; more prana (life force) which stimulates the Kundalini a bit more we use Prana Yam in Yoga to stimulate Ida and Pingala (Dohmar and Deehakh on the Path of Smoke [although you do this a bit differently there]) to rise up through the system. This is a good way to change your overall breathing pattern from being a chest breather to actually being a belly breather. You can easily test this, try focus on your nose when breathing in, notice what happens? Does your shoulders or chest (usually this what happens when you do this) and not feeling the abdomen moving out as much? Then change it up by inhaling by focusing on your abdomen, you’ll likely feel more air coming in, and the chest won’t rise as much or at all. Plus, you may even feel light-headed if you do this a few times - I don’t have a good medical reason for this that I think fits. But the difference of the quantity of air taken in this way should be obvious, though. When you breathe in air through your nose and not breathing in deeply by focusing on your abdomen when doing so, this causes you to breathe in less air than what you’re supposed to do or rather can do. In martial arts, you try to rewire this breathing by trying to make your breathing more “deep” and controlled and having more stamina this way if you hold your breath your cells and muscles won’t have enough fuel to make glucose into energy as oxygen is a necessary factor to do, as a result you’ll burn out faster, most martial artists and athletes know this and now so do you. Same thing here, by increasing the depth we can pull in more. Plus, doing it this way (reversed breathing) seems to be a bit more potent than the usual in through your nose and out through the mouth; try and see what happens.
! - I want to stress though if you live and messy or moldy environment then get outside or clean before doing this. As you may know, your nose has several strands of hairs (a.k.a. follicles) in there and one of the functions that it has is to capture dust particles and other stuff (works like a filter) so that you get it as clean as possible into your lungs. By circumventing the nose on the inhale, you can potentially inhale more of the nasty stuff in the environment that’s why keeping it clean is important so that you won’t get sick, it may seem dumb but just letting you know that can happen if it’s rotting meat; carcasses or moldy stuff in there, it may take a while, but you can still contract the stuff; do what you wish.
- By doing this, it will likely increase the potency of the exercise, better preparing you for the vampyrism section of the grimoire. Initially do it like this in a "closed off environment, but the goal is of course you should be able to do it on the run and anywhere despite whatever chaos is happening otherwise, if you have to isolate yourself in your temple to do magick then what’s the use? Magick should be an extension of whom you’re, not a commodity that’s chained to a place. The World is your Cloister, so to speak.
Now to the actual notes themselves: by inverting the breathing I felt while focusing on imagining my pores’ breath in along with my inhale through the mouth, I noticed that I could take deeper breaths. And as I did the more the real the experience seem to become like the area f.e. the hand was really breathing with me, I could feel that before but according to me, it seems to have gotten more noticeable by doing it this way. This exercise will pretty naturally take into trance is you inhale deeply with your abdomen. But doing this it seemed to happen faster. And as you may have predicted, the feeling of being relaxed yet energized at the same time was clearer to say the least. Especially in the feet and hands for me at this time. Like I had miniature energetic circles in the middle of my palm and at the middle of my feet (the soft tissue part); you have chakras there too, in case you didn’t know. This is good, this means that my energy system is being activated as it should according to me. Hands and feet are really important, they’re awakened as they help pull and expel energy inside your system to keep it moving (the Law of Exchange). I noticed for a bit afterwards that colors and sounds were a bit more pronounced than they usually are. If you get into these states regularly, you may have already noticed this, it usually tends to happen. But this way the effect of that seemed to last a bit longer, a few minutes or so instead of about 30 seconds +. That’s about it with this update.
Organ Breathing - Update #4 18 of 30 breaths in.

This section of the post won’t be as lengthy as the other one. One key factor is important to address is that the setting in which this exercise was done was different, meaning instead of my living room, I did this exercise when watching TV. You’re likely thinking: ok…isn’t that incredibly distracting? It can be, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I did manage some distractions quite a bit by focusing my breath just below the lower part of the TV frame and counting the amount of breaths in my mind by focusing on the body part f.e. the liver. I was doing this with my eyes open, which of course makes the process a bit more difficult to imagine, meaning the imagining the particles going in and staying there. But by setting the intention of doing this inside your mind before you begin and really feeling the pores breathing in and the mass of energy staying in there and energize the area on the exhalation, it seems to produce a similar response as doing it with your eyes closed. The key here i´s “feeling” it, if you can’t see it you got to feel it. If you get distracted, close your eyes and redo the breath and feel the particles going in and staying there and energize you for a few breaths and continue from top to bottom until you’re done.
Generally speaking I of course got a bit sometimes distracted, this is why counting your breaths are important to know where you’re. If you’re having trouble keeping it mentally stable, then add the mental counting along with a slight tapping of a finger on your thigh to keep you on track, it usually helps especially if you have ADHD like me in the beginning, I usually won’t need this anymore, but I want to add this though once you notice it helps with tapping your fingers on your thigh, and you won’t get distracted then scale them off and try to mentally count the amount of times you’re pulling in life force from the environment. Doing it this way was of course less intense than closing your eyes, at it was harder to imagine the particles going in by visualizing with my eyes open. But it still worked, meaning I could still feel that bio-electricity increase, although it was milder than the war of wants type sensation that has been the case more or less so far in the previous sessions. Try this by all means see what happens and if you want to compare notes then be all means.
That is all for now. I will update this journal once more when the next session has been completed. Until then, hopefully this was of use.
All the best
