Getting high on meditation ( wim Hoff breathing technique)

I do love doing wim hof, been doing it every morning for around a year now.

 

I've been only doing the cold and got away from the breathing, although I've been revisiting the alternate nostril technique from yoga but that's another story/benefit.

This opens to a lot right here. Most people, maybe here especially think 'discipline' is about pushing yourself to do more when you may not feel like it, but in the bigger picture it's really also about details like this. Not only are there practices which you want to do on an empty stomach, some supplements are taken on an empty stomach. You can only be disciplined in optimizing all these things if you PLAN and be consistent, not just push yourself when you physically work out. Practically then you'll have a window of time to do the practice, then remember to take those supplements that absorb best on an empty stomach and then watch the magic happen.

Also as with any practice esp. for people who are new to it think of it as an experiment. Give it a chance, see how you feel before and after.

 

Thanks for the link. Just tried it out, I'll definitely look into it more. Can't really describe how I felt after, I might get back into this thread once I've tried it again.

 

So I can say that what you get is somewhat of a very light high I guess, but it feels more like being dizzy. Anyways, I think it makes you more awake, so I'll try to incorporate it into my morning routine.

 

I don't really know if I even want to though.
How would you describe to do it properly, according to the video?
I breathe like a maniac following his instructions and hold my breath for longer than he expects me to do already.

 

Yes, I also feel cold.
