Thread: Getting over the initial stage

SP can be overwhelming. It'll get easier as you go on. I have the same problem. It's not going to kill you, don't worry.

When my breathing starts getting funny, am I still *actually* breathing sufficently? That's part of my concern. It just feels like the way I breath during SP would be enough for me to black out.

I get the same, mini. The other day it felt like my heart and lungs were going to be ripped out. I also worry about my breathing - even when I'm at a relaxed stage of WILD: Sometimes I feel like I could stop breathing and never start again.

The pins and needles sensation, at least for me, is part of relaxation, and not SP. I find that I can still move fine even after the sensations intensify and then pass. The sensation of irregular breathing could also possibly be imagined. Maybe, you could have someone watch your chest while you attempt to repeat what you did. Everything you experience already happens naturally, but you just aren't usually aware of it; keep that in mind. If you don't worry about it or expect it in the future, it should go away.
