LBRP - Unusual occurance during ritual.
-
I think that maybe you need to do some asanas before....sounds like your body needs a good stretching. Sun salutations or moon salutations are a great flowing stretcng excersize for your entire body. Do each posture in the flow as full as you are able, breathing with the movement, using the breathe to stretch.
A ritual is an exercise, and one should always warm up and stretch first.
I personally examine all mundane factors before even thinking about magical or spiritual.....
If you use opiates at all, yawning is common.
If you are at all nervous about your performance, or your intentions are not clear, yawning is common.If you grew up around people who habitually yawned at a certain stimulus ( ie time of day, or body movements) you could be conditioned to yawn, subconsciously.
If the room you are in is too warm, or too cold....you could yawn.
If you eat to quick, or to slow. You could yawn...
There are so many reasons why,
You are a human being, and human body's do things that need to be done.
If it bothers you then maybe the issue is not that you are yawning, or burping or what ever is happening during your rite, but the fact that it is bothering you. -
FWIW, I remain of the opinion that this is over-interpretation - almost supersititious attribution of meaning - and not anything of consequence.
Of course, I could be wrong about that and you could be annihilating vast universes and swallowing enormous amounts of lethal radiation with every yawn.

Yawning is sometimes a symptom of anxiety in patterned behaviours.
Specifically, its a common symptom in relation to feelings of apprehension and self-consciousness during or prior to performance. Anticipation causes an unconscious tension of the upper torso that triggers the yawn. Does that ring true for you at all?

It'd does for me, I've noticed myself doing it in stressful situations.

I generally rarely yawn as I train 5 times a week and have a healthy diet that consists of veg, fruit and meat with almost no processed foods. I am never tired because of it and full of energy. Hence why I questioned the yawning. But it may just be that I have now associated it with the arch angel and why it repeats....

"Beginning to lean in your direction.... to analytical. I most likely have formed the association myself and should give it no thought.

Cant say it does Marlowe. I am in the same space every time and extremely confortable doing the LBRP. Never tense at all.

In that case, I'd be very much inclined to go with this line of thinking.

From what I understand about Reichan therapy(which isnt very much) yawning is the release of tension. It may seem insignificant, but when reading about Reichan therapy the Yawn is actually given a great deal of importance. During Reichan sessions a yawn supercedes all work being performed. If you begin to yawn, you're supposed to stop what your doing and go all in with it and even make a specific noise while doing so. There is a great deal of information about it that I'm not privy to, so I would consider checking this with someone more familiar with that form of therapy. But yes, In my opinion this seemingly unimportant thing could be quite important. And it is interesting to know that the body sensings in The One Year Manual are forms of Reichan therapy excercises. Understandable considering the good Doctor was a Reichan therapist.

"93 All
As part of my daily practice I have been carrying out Resh 4 times a day followed by LBRP for at least 18 months... whilst this is a long and mundane practice for some, i find that it is such a complex ritual, that almost daily i notice different details or improve aspects of it personally for me.Now since the turn of the year i have started Regardies "One Year Manual" and have also been twice a day using the "Body awareness" task twice a day and have move up from 10 mins to 15mins a session as he advises until the month is concluded and 30mins for each session is achieved.
It has only been since the start of this year and possibly the start of Regaries program that during the LBRP following Resh that i have started to Yawn once during the course of the ritual. This at first started in the work place where i conduct myself in the usual location and has since spread a week later to my personal temple at home.
Is this a common occurrence?
Do people generally yawn during rituals or am i doing something wrong...
Just to add i am not tired in the slightest but i still yawn...Possibly i am be answering my own question here but also since the start of the year i have noticed a change in the way i charge each pentagram...
I actually feel the energy surging up my body and out thru my arms (the enterer) into the pentagram.
Sometimes it happens before i get to this stage and more often than not after...I am very interested to listen to anyone else that has experienced this or is aware of what it represents."
While I'm not convinced that your yawning is magically significant, perhaps it will comfort you to know that I sometimes go weeks at a time with a yawn in the middle of each performance of Resh. I've never had to yawn during a performance of a public/group ritual, fortunately, though I sometimes worry
Here's a question: What are you doing before performing Resh? Are you sitting at a desk or on a couch and then rising to perform it? Yawning is a biological function designed to increase the flow of oxygen to the brain. It could be that you stand up, a portion of your blood flows down to your lower limbs, and you yawn a couple minutes later to compensate for for the decreased brain oxygen, as you need more to compensate for more physical exertion. Just a theory, I'm no biologist.

I yawn almost every time, at some point, during my morning and nightly rituals - sometimes a couple times. It's a massive, deep, satisfying yawning. I attribute it to settling in and relaxing and releasing tensions. Other than that, I don't have any other ideas at this point. In my case, it seems random and not directly connected to any Archangel, etc.
