Meditation is horseshit. All you need is breathwork and you can achieve everything meditation offers in fraction of the time. It's literally that simple. Check out russian Buteyko method - it's basically meditation boiled down to scientific principles without all the extra baggage.

That sounds interesting, will definitely check it out. Breathwork makes sense because it can have a physical effect on body. I alredy do deep breath outs and its great for stress management

Your previous one was better. Feel allowed to post more retarded stuff

No. Deep breathing is harmful for health unless in very specific circumstances. What really does the magic is CO2 buildup in your system - it gets you all the benefits people imagine as so called "enlightment" and does wonders for your health. I know it sounds too simple but just try it out, you'll see what I mean. I spent some serious time testing it and managed to cure a condition that does not improve in most cases.

Yes, i've been researching wim hof method, tried it once without those effects and decided to ditch it. Depriving my brain of oxygen is not worth it.
What was your condition?
Also, i was talking about breathing in normally and breathing out more slowly. In theory it should activate your fight or flight response, and it helps me to stop being stressed out after a few minutes

My whole body was out of whack. Degenerative changes in my spine, compressed nerves, left side of my body weaker, foot, knee, hip, shoulder issues. Chronic pain was affecting my sleep, rendering me useless most days. Doctors couldn't help in any meaningful way for 15 years except stronger and stronger painkillers.

Yes, that feeling of air hunger is the first sign of CO2 buildup. It's not easy but when you balance it properly and maintain moderate air hunger for 3-5 minutes the brain structure responsible for detecting CO2 level gets "reset" to a slightly higher level and changes in how your body functions last for hours (inflammation down, clearer thinking, emotional stability, greater physical and intellectual performance.

Damn, that sounds awful. I'm glad that you managed to cure it.

Those short term upsides sound nice, but i doubt that it's good for the brain in the long run.
Do you have any other methods for boosted cognition that i can look into? I tried ketosis for a few months, and while my energy was higher and hormones more normalized, i couldnt find any mental benefits

I know it goes contrary to many popular misconceptions but it IS actually good for you in the long run. I don't have time to write essays here but the whole concept i based on Bohr mechanism which causes the increased CO2 to make the existing oxygen to be more available on cellular level. You are in fact increasing your body oxygenation.

No, I don't have any other methods, I've found what works for me and tested it thoroughly (4-5 years poking around, 1 year straight intensive practice). Effects are undeniable, feels like a fucking lottery ticket, I might actually have a shot at life that I never actually expected I would. Don't need anything else at this stage.

Also keto is often combined with breathing exercises in stage 3 and 4 cancers - breathing alone isn't enough in such serious conditions. It's not for me though - I love lifting weights and need some carbs to keep some meat on me.

>You are increasing yiur body oxygenation
Damn anon, that's huge. I'll definitely look into that. But why did you say that it's harmful in the first post? Did you mean doing it in a wrong way?
By the way, are you talking about the Buteyko method, or wim hof? I want to learn more about this and possibly incorporate it into my life, but i'm not sure what to search for.
Keto goes well with exercises, but yeah, it eats fat fast.

Yes, this is huge. This is something that has a potential of changing the way we think about health and chronic illness.

What I'm practicing is Buteyko method. I've heard from different sources that Buteyko can be complementary to Wim Hof method. Think of it like optimizing the way your body uses oxygen 24/7 vs supercharging it for some superhuman feats short term. These can go hand in hand but since I have not tested it personally I can't say for sure.

Deep breathing is harmful unless for very specific purposes. If you want to improve your health you need to breathe less, always use your nose and breathe diaphragmatically (bottom of the lung = up 6 times more effective gas exchange). There are some funny characters popularizing the method online (don't get me wrong - these are solid people but having a Borat accent doesn't help with people treating you seriously).
I would recommend starting with Partick McKeown and his book "Oxygen Advantage". He's got some videos on youtube, a TED talk if I remember correctyl.

Thanks, i will start with his TED talk and youtube. Probably buy his book too. I think i saw some people reference it already.
I'll go with Buteyko aswell, i'm interested with long term. And i surely have to watch my breath, because it turns out that i started snoring, which is bad.
Breathing with nose slows the air down, moistens and warms it up, which allows lungs to absorb more air. Breathing with the mouth makes you absorb less oxygen and exhale too much carbon dioxide. It has a serious detrimental cognitive effects. What's surprising, is that around 30% of population if i recall correctly are mouth breathers
I appreciate the information that you gave me. Have a great year bro.
