The last post on this topic seemed to have taken a big diversion and then fell flat. Soli asked the question and I quote. Soli I hope you don’t mind but I had questions on this to and was hoping that it would get responded to.

Maybe I'm imagining it, but I feel as though the oooom and moooo are much longer at the heart and kidney points - could it be that they are key points? Sometimes when I get lost and there is no verbal guidance about where I should be, if I have an idea that it's close to one of those two points and the sound is longer, I start there and move on. It usually ends right on with the CD.

I was glad you asked the question, because I was noticing this too and hadn’t quite put my finger on it. Since you posted this question I paid a little more attention to this and found that there is definitely a longer inhale at the Heart, I’m not sure about kidney points. The uncertainty is probably me spacing out around that area. The following next three points after heart are significantly shorter in length.

What I would like further clarification on is in a few parts of this meditation.

1) Is the breath work deliberate (inhalation duration length etc) through out the process or did it just happened to work out that way?
2) If deliberate then should the inhale process be increased (taken in faster) to get a full breath in or is it suppose to be a relaxed roughly half filled inhale?
3) Basically does the inhalation exhalation deliberately vary with the intention that one should breathe faster & slower through out the mediation? Or perhaps there are intentional shorter filled inhalation points in the mediation. I know it’s kind of redundant but hopefully the question is clear enough.

What I am finding for example is that after the nice long (steady pace) inhale of the lung meridian point that the next inhale is short. A half breath if I continued to maintained the same pace or perhaps I’m suppose to take a quicker inhale to fill the lungs followed by a quick exhale. I know I am probably over anal- - -yzing this. But I guess on some level I need to know so that I can let it go and flow. Otherwise it continually creeps in and nags at the inner babbler.
