Hyperventillating during deep breathing

[Arkx6]

So ive been doing reiki meditation like a chi kung meditation and my breathing gets v deep. So deep that i start hyperventilating and my airways close down and after deep breathing it gets hard to breath.

Ive read up on this and apparently when you breath too much it upsets the balance of your blood and your body closes down your airways to bring you back to balance.

Still...why does this keep happening to me? What can i do to stop it from happening? Ty

Do not breathe that deeply. If you still have that problem then only breathe deeply to the point where it feels comfortable to you.

Its a terrible feeling ,try an old russian breath if you hypo again breathe in and hold the breath in ,pinching the nose helps for 10 secs if you can you may not be able too at first,then release of course some how it regulates the bloods again,its prob like breathing a paper bag,I do sitting qui gong so I know what you mean anyway maybe back it off a bit you dont want to go into a aponea.Try to keep relaxed in your mind maybe I dont know its all trial and error at times ,Good luck...:)
