I’ve been feeling low on energy for several days now. I’m sleeping a lot, but having strange dreams that prevent me from recharging. However, I’m a practical person, and when I want to feel better, I make an effort to find something that gives me relief. Unfortunately, in my case, morning coffee only increases my nervousness, despite loving its taste. So, I’ve turned to reading, researching, and delving into the knowledge I had already acquired but had neglected for some time.
I came across a fantastic book, titled “The Power of Your Vision” by David De Angelis, also available on Kindle Unlimited. De Angelis, an Italian author, is best known for his book “Power Flex Stretching – the secrets of super flexibility”, which I finished in no time, taking note of all the advice and already reaping the first benefits in pursuing my goal of learning to do the splits. Once I finished that book, I went in search of his other titles and was impressed by the variety of topics covered, all of which are dear to me: physical well-being, self-healing, self-improvement, and the law of attraction. How could I not immediately read another of his books?
It must be said that, especially regarding the law of attraction, I am quite demanding. I don’t like everything that is written about it, and I admire only a few people who talk about this topic and resonate with me (mainly Abraham Hicks). However, I wanted to give De Angelis the benefit of the doubt precisely because he covers many topics, and this intrigued me.
Reading “The Power of Your Vision” was a surprising experience that made me reconsider many things and brought me face to face with what I had neglected for a long time: emotion.
Not that the book is emotionally exciting in the traditional sense; it’s not a novel or a treatise on emotional intelligence, but it talks about the importance of experiencing emotions both to attract what we want in life and to feel good, connect with life, and with our soul.
Lately, however, I have experienced few emotions, as if they were dormant, leaving my body in a state of general apathy and lack of energy, whether alone or in company.
The only moments of real satisfaction I experience are when I dance, when the music takes me and transports me to another world.
Reading these words, I was astonished because I know how to manage emotions when I feel them, but I don’t know how to bring them out when they are dormant.
In his book, David explains that there is a breathing technique called “Transcendental Breathing” which, if performed correctly and continuously for at least 8 or 10 sessions, can unlock repressed emotions and help to better connect with life.
So, I decided to try at least the first session. The practice lasted 30 minutes, performing yogic breaths without interruptions, calibrated through my app called “Prana Breath”.
I’m not sure if I followed the practice correctly, as I didn’t have someone next to me to help, but the result was pleasant.
Initially, the idea of sitting for half an hour breathing scared me a bit, both out of boredom and out of fear of fainting from excess oxygen, performance anxiety, or perhaps I should say the fear of experiencing unfamiliar emotions.
But I chose to start.
The first 17 minutes passed without me opening my eyes, focused on the breath and the well-being I felt.
Subsequently, memories of past travels emerged in my mind, as if I were reliving those experiences.
Nothing particularly emotional, but certainly sudden and random. Suddenly I found myself in Oslo, where I went on holiday more than 10 years ago, and I saw some people I met there. Then I jumped from one place to another, as if I were there.
What’s the point of buying a plane ticket when all you need is oxygen to travel?
At the end of the 30 minutes, I lay down savoring the feeling of well-being on my body, and I got up with a bit more energy than before and an unusual craving for fruit.
This, of course, is just the account of my first day. I intend to continue for 8 consecutive days, as recommended by David De Angelis, to see what happens. My flatmate already knows he’ll have to check if I faint.
Meanwhile, if you also want to try, you can find all of De Angelis’s works on his website: https://www.daviddeangelis.it/index.html and also something on kindle unlimited and audible.it.
Personally, I don’t know De Angelis and I dared to write about what I read only because I find it interesting. However, I have no authorization to do so, so I hope the author won’t mind if he doesn’t like the content. (if necessary, just one word).
