Re: Healing codes, Buteyko, etc.
I also bought a couple of books. The Anxiety Free Book comes with a great CD that is sort of a combination of guided meditation, hypnosis and Buteyko instruction all rolled into one.
The books are an easy read. Normalbreathing.com is a good resource once you know a bit. But it is a bit over-whelming when you are new to the concept. Now when I go back to that site, I understand it better.

The thing I like about the instructor is it's great to be able to ask someone with experience questions. I might not have been so freaked out by the cleansing reaction (bone pain, skin issues) had I been working with an instructor at the time.
But yeah...you can go it alone. Just research the cleansing reactions and research a bit before you dive in too hard. She said that I went too quick at the beginning. Just go slow and watch out for the cleansing reactions. Don't panic..they are a good sign.
The cleansing reactions depend on how hard you practice and how sick you are. From what I can tell, you are quite sick. Your Control Pause is quite low. So as you increase it, you can expect to go through even more serious cleansing reactions than I have experienced. So go slow and read a bit before you go too hard.
