My Two Favorite Easy Ecstatic Exercises

You must excuse me if you've read my postings about these exercises elsewhere, but after many many years of research and trying out various yogas and meditation exercises, I remain most attached to these two as the least complicated way to achieve high levels of blissful well-being, because:

1) they are easily accessible to anyone without the need for anything except owning a human body.
2) they can be used anywhere at any time (except perhaps when sharing a bed with a loved one - then exercise (a) has to be done as quietly as possible -- or at least in sync with the loved one's snores.

Exercises (only do these sitting down):

(a) Purring

(b) Nursing on the soft palate and uvula area

(a) For purring:
SMILE and then
on the inhale: snore mainly through the nose, but the mouth is ok too.
give the septum a good 'rattle'!
on the exhale: gargle a French 'R' in the back of the throat and exhale through the mouth (obviously).

With practice, you'll be able to make both sounds without changing the facial expression. The result, although I call it a 'purr,' is perhaps more like a 'smiling snarl'. Ten of these, and my fingers and toes are tingling very nicely, thank you, and blissful energies are spreading throughout my body.

One variation: on the exhale, include a 'TSSS' sound in the very front of the upper mouth. This vibrates the hard palette intensely and makes me quite dizzy! Also allow it to vibrate the lips, which are a very rich nerve center.

(b) For nursing - I like this one especially first thing upon awakening:
A SMILE helps this one along too.
Place the tongue behind the upper teeth comfortably, and then create a vacuum between the tongue and the palette, allowing it to widen backwards towards the soft area and the uvula, that little fleshy thing hanging from the back of your throat. Sometimes I first get very still until I can feel my heartbeat in my chest, and then suck in time with my heartbeat.
I think of the tongue as the uppermost petal of the petals of the heart flower.

Right now I'm trying to learn to combine the two exercises by nursing during a closed-mouth gargling exhale, which turns it into a sort of groaning series of closed-mouth "hunh-hunh's" in the back of the throat on each exhale. This REALLY energizes the heart area!

Don't try these while driving or operating equipment. I mean, these can be really powerful!

I'd be grateful for any feedback if you try these out. Thanks!
