Is your BODY talking to God? – "I yawn when I pray"

I bet you lot came across this commodity because you Googled: "I yawn when I pray" – congratulations for noticing, welcome to the club 🙂

I yawn when I pray

When I was a niggling girl, maybe vii-8 years old, I was taught to pray to God, probably like a lot of people in the globe. I never really considered myself religious, but that'south not the indicate of this story, on rare occasions I would still pray in the traditional fashion. My grandmother once saw me yawning afterwards a prayer and laughed, she told me that she and her mother would also ALWAYS yawn later on or during a prayer.

That sounded funny to me, and then of class I had to exam information technology…and sure enough, EVERY time I prayed, I would yawn. If I tried rushing it or doing it without feeling, I would not yawn, and that somehow felt like I wasn't reaching God. Fun thing for a child to endeavour 🙂

Now I also yawn when I meditate

A few years ago, when I found my spiritual path in life, I stopped praying and started meditating. To my great astonishment, meditation had the same touch on me – and don't showtime making jokes nigh meditation existence so boring that I was falling comatose! I simply yawn at very specific stages.

For example, when doing the Unity Jiff meditation (equally taught by Drunvalo Melchizedek) – you connect to Mother Earth, Male parent Sky and Yourself. The point is to send your honey and gratitude to each, and wait for a reply back, they volition send their honey to you too. Well you probably guessed it past now, I go my replies via a yawn, and then often followed past other sensations.

It's not just virtually yawning, listen to your body for other signals

It truly fascinates me how my torso sends me signals, and it can happen in all sorts of means, you just need to watch out for yours. It doesn't fifty-fifty accept to be a similar experience to mine, possibly your body reacts to certain living atmospheric condition, or certain foods (that's specially practiced to find).

Perhaps it will be but a twitch or shivers going upward your spine, or yous may smell something or hear a noise, a lot of people have ringing in their ears. My trunk gives me this particular feeling in my breadbasket, that I know that if I swallow anything whilst I accept this feeling, I will get sick. Or my ear lobe hurts in a specific way when the weather's nearly to alter (I get that from my grandma also!), though I've recently realised that it has other meanings also, still trying to figure it out.

Anya-Andreeva-mudras-meditating-in-a-forest,-yoga,-spirituality

I've also noticed that the same body response doesn't accept to be limited to one definition. I used the instance of yawning as a class of talking to God/Universe/Spirit. Though information technology started off existence that way for me, I at present realise that it is a fashion of letting me know several things: that

  1. I've reached whomever I wanted to reach, e.thou. Mother World or
  2. I'm doing something right during my meditation or the goal is consummate. For example, I was taught how to control my sexual free energy and during a specific stage, on the 3rd breath exactly, I Always yawn.

So at that place you accept it guys, my funny body responses to meditation 🙂 I'thousand sure you accept something too, it all begins by WANTING to observe (or having someone signal it out, but not everyone's signals are every bit obvious as mine).

Try to interpret what your body is telling y'all at a particular time, if you lot find that your get a heavy sensation in your solar plexus and need to put your hand over it for "no proficient reason", recollect about what preceded or followed that. Maybe you got bad news or you feel frightened. This is a very mutual torso reaction every bit your solar plexus is kind of similar your "gut instinct" center of your body, information technology will react when you lot're nervous, depressed or scared.

The Universe is always looking for ways to communicate with us, in any shape of form, information technology is upwards to u.s.a. to Heed!

Oh, and if I happen to yawn next time nosotros're having a conversation, don't become offended – I'm probably just talking to God 🙂

    I believe there is higher reason than just body tiering or getting bored. I accept seen many people either praying or mediating and myself as well , yawning and Its non just regular yawn, it has something different and longly stretched labium opening. My experience, I don't yawn always simply at some signal I exercise and I wish it to last longer considering its and so soothing. Still to find that pattern you talked near and I am looking frontwards to notice the higher reason I believe. Thanks for the article.

    To me, my feel westward/yawning is what Christians call the Holy Spirit. I enquire for guidance & enthusiastic yawning are an indication of 'yeah', as, for example, in whether I should get into surgery; it actually happened. Trust the yawning …. my suggestion. On the reverse side, ask for guidance & you may hear 'silence'. I translate that as a 'no'. In that location is nothing that is more silent than non hearing the Holy Spirit. I hear silence, & that is a sign of 'caution.

I believe it means sg. else, perchance only an indication that someone inside u.s.a. allow`due south us know that his listening.

      Let me know though, if in your case is going to work and hope you volition remember that I am very,very poor:))) Good luck!

    How-do-you-do, well yesterday i went for a heart meditation training. I met near 30 participants. Towards the end our main requested to give a brotherly hug to each other and we did. When i started leaving the place , i felt very heavy specially at the back. And after some moment i started to yawn and burp. I think i accept burped about ii hundred times. The longest and later on that i felt relieve. Apparently my friend told me i took the people'due south bad free energy and let them out. Is this brand sense? Prior to this i have been yawning for few months, whenever i visit temples and pray. I believe the yawning is part of cleansing when nosotros reach a sure level spiritually. Everyone of united states of america acquit some kind of entity / energy in us through-out our life. If its a bad free energy we need to cleanse them i believe.Yawning / Burping is ane of the way i approximate. Thanks.

      I exercise completely agree with you cybernautsri. All the negatives will be expelled during yawning and nosotros will feel meliorate after expelling negative energy

    2. Ginger 27 Nov 2016 Reply

      Cheers Cybernautsri for your input. I as well believe yawning while praying releases the bad energies … plus some of my life's negativities (guilt & sins).
      Experiencing a feeling of relief of also calm & a very relaxed peace afterward yawning. I notice my listen in thought of prayer to Our Father God has more than clarity to focus when talking to Him. I also believe & feel when I start yawnIng during the start of my prayer fourth dimension, I do experience a deeper release and "cleansing with openness". All of these yawning experiences I truly feel are release & cleansing of myself. GOD'southward dear to all!

    There was a particular incident in my life that made me start praying from a lifetime of no prayer I noticed that in most of my prayer events, I exercise yawn. I mean when I pray in solitude.

    Funny enough I also started yawning since a twelvemonth at present, while I am praying at home or in the church. Definitely is a higher stage in Spiritual life. In my example came after feeling a kind a strong vibrancy wherever the claret circulates in the body, particularly in the head. Hm… curious to see what is going to be later on…

      So what is the answer, if is not a secret?

      1. Cool, sounds like you've noticed something interesting going on in that location, I judge just keep observing and see if you can spot any patterns as to when and why it happens.
        There is no definite reply, we are all unlike, but i thing I tin say from experience is that it's definitely a sign, a way of your torso telling you something. In my example it's always a "yes" to whatsoever I'm asking or thinking about, or a confirmation that I'chiliad on the right track. For others it may be something else, information technology'due south just a matter of patiently watching information technology happen.
