I am having trouble with the Breathing of the Universe. I often feel the energy strongly while doing the Moving of Yin and Yang (although when i move my hands up and down my body the energy often feels "wavy" - I'm just a beginner so not sure if that is a sign of something). My hands feel full of energy as i move into Breathing of the Universe but I seem to lose the energy. As my hands expand out I can't feel much of anything and as my hands move towards each other I often feel a strong pull towards each other towards the centre. I'm thinking that this should be the reverse - that they should repell each other to some extent as I visualize the sickness, etc being pushed from my body. I would really like to be able to work with this exercise as I suffer from depression and have read in other postings that this exercise is particulary important. I enjoy the Moving of Yin and Yang and sometimes have difficulty convincing myself to move onto Breathing of the Universe - I can't seem to get the movement or my breath to flow naturally.
Also - a question re the breathing. Sometimes when I'm practising the sitting meditations, especially when I'm able to go a bit deeper into the emptiness, I feel pressure on my chest as if my breathing is compressed. Am I doing something wrong?
I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
