Hi Pennywise
Welcome to the forum.I had the same problem when I started NEW. It seemed impossible to coordinate my breathing with the energy movement.I did exactly what you mentioned which was to ignore my breathing altogether.I believe it`s more important to get the feel for energy flow at first.After a few months of practice everything seemed to come together since the speed and smoothness of the energy movement had greatly increased.The best advice on all of these matters is for you to experiment and find out what works for you.It sounds like you`ve had good success already

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, so I greet all the nice people here [:D]
I've read "Astral Dynamics", enjoyed it a lot and practiced the NEW system for some weeks. I was amazed as it gave me a series of OOBEs and LDs for 3 days immediately after starting. However, now I'm kinda stuck with the secondary system full body circuit. My problem is the synchronisation with the breath. I do not seem able to raise energy as quick as it's supposed to. Either, if I try to keep up with my breath, it seems to me that the energy raising is getting too sloppy and in fact there isn't anything raised at all. On the other side, if I take the time I need (15-20 seconds for the UP sweep) and really feel it moving, I can't breathe so slowly. So what should I do about it? I guess it's more important to concentrate on the actual energy raising action and not on the breathing. Should I drop the breathing part of the technique at all until I gain some experience and can do quicker upward sweeping, or rather keep trying the best I can, with the risk of losing some effectiveness of the sweeping when doing it too fast?
