so, is the sitter like a coach, or just an observer? wow, it all sounds pretty heavy. i mean, that guy you befriended carrying around all that stuff for so long...so does the session bring about a healing, or does it just open it up so you can begin the healing process? sometimes i get tired of working on myself all the time ... (anyway, i see you made it back all right. where will your pilgrimage take you next )

I&P,
Before the sessions start you both make a sorta contract with your partner about what you will do and don't do as far as holding the person,, what signals to use for water or going to the bathroom,,etc..basic needs durring the session. If your a sitter you don't want to interupt the trip the breather is having,,so you are just there to give them water and keep them safe without interfearing. The music in the beginning is very loud and percussive and it takes a few minutes of circular breathing for everything to start happeninng. Then as you get about 1/2 hour into the session the music changes still loud but designed for a more open,,journeying,, victorious type of music then the last hour is a somewhat softer and less volume for comming down.
Sometimes there can be some very dramatic health benifits with just one session,,but more likely,, more are needed. They say you shouldn't do breath work with out training,,and they offer a week long training program to if you want to do it professionally. But I might try a few session by myself because i think I can regulate it pretty well,,if it gets too intense I just stop my circular breathing.

when i read things like this, i always wonder if man will ever really unravel or completely understand the human mind, because it's so unbelievably complex...p.s. yeah, i'd never attempt anything like this on my own...

I&P,
If everything is "one" as physics is showing,, then everything is connected,,, with nonordinary states of consciousness you tap into that "oneness" the unconscious knows some how what needs to be brought to the conscious durring these session for healing. A woman next to me was clearly acting like a dog or some animal in heat,,it was very interesting. My sitter said that my face became as smooth as a baby's face and I looked like a 2 or 3 year old for awhile.
