Feel it in ten minutes

Pore breathing is energy meditation: instead of focusing on the breath or a mantra, you learn to feel (and focus on) your own life force. In the next ten minutes, your hands will show you what that means.

Before you're asked to believe anything, you're offered something to feel. You don't need any background in meditation or energy work. You only need a few undisturbed minutes and permission to trust what you actually feel, not what you think you should feel.

BEGIN ↓

Everything here is free, a guided practice you can do right now, and a live 30-minute class every Sunday. Nothing to buy, and no sign-up needed to begin.

Grounding before expansion

This practice is gentle, gradual, and self-paced. Move slowly, stay within your comfort, and let sensation (not intensity) guide you. If you have a history of significant trauma or a medical or neurological condition, consult a qualified professional before beginning any breath or energy practice. You are always responsible for your own well-being.

The energy ball

Up to now you've been reading about energy. In the next few minutes, you'll feel it. To become sensitive, you need a focal point outside the body, between the hands, where the senses come alive.

The orb breathes along to pace you while you settle; then read each step, bring it into your hands, and move to the next when you're ready. A spoken, voice-guided version is coming soon.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

≈ 6 minutes

Ready when you are

Find a few undisturbed minutes and sit somewhere you can raise your hands comfortably. About six minutes, start to finish. Read each step, feel it, and move to the next when you're ready.

Into your hands

From here, the practice happens in your hands. Raise your hands, palms facing, about six inches apart. Soften your gaze or close your eyes to feel each step, opening them just to read the next.

Settle and charge

Sit with the spine naturally upright, shoulders dropped, jaw loose. For a few minutes, feel the breath entering through the whole surface of the body, not just the lungs, and softening into the tissues.

Form the sphere

Bring your hands up in front of the navel as if holding a ball. Fingers softly curved, elbows away from the ribs, wrists relaxed. Let the arms float, supported by the skeleton rather than held up by effort.

Rest in the space between

Don't hunt for drama. Rest attention in the space between your palms. You might notice a faint thickness in the air, a tingling, a mild pressure, a subtle push-pull. Even a small signal is enough.

Expand and compress

As you inhale, let the sphere gently expand with the hands. As you exhale, let it condense. Small and slow, you're feeling the change, not making a gesture. Watch for tingling, density, a springy resistance when you compress.

Let it become an object

Done correctly, the ball becomes more responsive, not more dramatic. It starts to feel like a coherent object you can gently press against. That felt resistance is not imagination, it's the field, perceived through sensation.

Let your hands come down

Sit for a moment before you open your eyes. Then read what just happened.

What just happened?

If you felt the ball respond when your hands moved (the thickness changing with the distance) that was not imagination. Imagination does not respond to the position of your hands. You have just practiced energy meditation for the first time: attention resting on felt life force. Most people spend years meditating without ever knowing whether anything was happening. You just knew.

And what you felt between your hands is the first perspective of a meditation that deepens in stages: first the ball, then the field of your whole body, then (far down the path) being the field itself. You just took the first step.

And if you felt nothing yet, that is also normal. Sensitivity is a trained capacity, not a talent. Some nervous systems need a few sessions before the signal rises above the noise. Come back to the practice as often as you like, and the free live class below is the fastest way in: real-time pacing does what written instructions can't.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What the first sitting commonly feels like

Faint is normal, and honesty matters more than intensity. These are the sensations first-time practitioners report most often.

Warmth gathering in the palms.

A faint pressure or thickness between the hands.

A subtle elasticity when the hands move closer or further apart.

A quiet settling of the nervous system.
