Here are some tips to assist folks in understanding and utilizing Circular Breathing which is prevalent in many of the Emoclear techs and Breathwork Exploration.
The tips:

* Breathe the inhale high in the lungs and just let the exhale go, maintaining each inhale and exhale as a connected unit. Do not stop at the top of the inhale or stop at the bottom of the exhale. Keep your breathing moderate and comfortable. Your breathing will do the breathing after you remove your attention from that area in a few minutes.

* The inhale better be slightly larger in volume than your regular inhale and this should be drawn into your upper lungs. With your initial attention on your upper chest, your ribcage should expand a bit more than usual.

* Breathing from your abdomen is a no no in circular breathing because it will limit your air volume.

* Three rules of thumb for Circular Breathing:
(a) There is effort only in the inhale and absolutely no effort in the exhale.
(b) Inhale and exhale only through your nose or inahale and exhale only through your mouth. Don't mix nose breathing with mouth breathing at any time.
(c) Nose breathing is slightly preffered, but not an absolute.

* Focus on expanding your chest and ribcage rather than on inflating your belly. You need not fully fill your lungs. Keep your inhale comfortable because you are creating relaxation.

* Exhale is just letting go and is relaxed. High lung breathing makes the exhale effortless, like you're opening the valve on a large tire and letting the air out. Remember: there is no need to exhale all the way especially if your breath is very long.

* As you get deeper into circular breathing it will almost feel as if your exhale is going out through the soles of your feet.

* Let go of tension in your gut. Sometimes folks halt their exhale in their belly and this creates tension down there. Your breath is being let go. The exhale permits deeper relaxation and triggers brain synchrony and tension release.

* Forcing and holding the exhale will stop the process cold. Letting go of the exhale dissolves bodily tension and helps in clearing targets.

* Fast and deep breathing will speed up clearing resisted targets. However this style of breathing is unrequired and may overwhelm folks new to Circular Breathing.

* Moderate breathing is the usual pace for Circular Breathing. Breathing here should never create hyperventilation or breathlessness. Moderate breathing is generally around 9 to 15 inhale/exhale cycles per 30 seconds.

* Shallow and slow breathing done from the gut will suppress feelings and sensations. We don't want this to happen.

* Fast and shallow breathing can be used during the emergence of a trauma if you feel extremely overwhelmed. However if you are using the head holds of the Meridian Grasp, Circuit Breaker, or Cortical Incident Runner there will be no need for this style of breathing because the head holds will undercut the overwhelm.

* Relax your jaw, mouth, and face. It is wise to relax your entire body prior to starting Circular Breathing. Trance Drills or Space/Synchrony Drills are recommended prior to doing Circular Breathing.

* Circular Breathing works at the feeling level and naturally bypasses thinking. Further Circular Breathing brings up feelings and memories and opens up the unconscious. This style of breathing adds and moves Qi through the meridians, balances them, and opens blockages in the energy system. By itself Circular Breathing is a powerful clearing tool.

* Some folks enjoy imagining their breath being drawn up from the bottoms of their feet to the top of their chest. You may use this visualization through your first 15 to 20 Circular Breaths.

* Before you even use Circular Breathing in any of the processes you may want to spend some time practicing this style of breathing until it feels natural. Don't worry about doing it perfectly.
