Forgive me if this has been asked already. Does anyone have some good recommendation on shadow work books/videos/sources.

i've looked at byron katie, it seems like shadow work to me, working with your deepest wounds

thanks@Arman

I THINK HE HAS!!!

shamanic breathing reports turned into enlightenment arguments ..again

wow this looks awesome what type of meditation are you doing now?

this is written so well and i appreciate you taking your time to write it out

oohooo ive heard of that one, very powerful i might try it some time in the future Yes we can

Thank you Leo Thank you for tolerating all the madness that goes on here, all of our noob views, all arguments. I wish i can be patient and disciplined one day as you are! I have just begun to change my life, and i already felt things i never thought i could feel before through practices from your videos, even though not even a month has passed from me doing them, thank you thank you thank you.

i was not on forum when leo just started mentioning using psychedelics and i wonder if the forum had similar split reactions to psychedelics (saying that its rly bad, etc) as they have to shamanic breathing. I have read & researched as much as i could, and i could not find one person on the internet that said they got health issues from this practice. Ive looked at interviews of people doing it for 20 years (old ppl, they look like theyre in their 60s) and they look full of life, nothing looks wrong. The only negatives i find is people finding issues with disbalancing O2/CO2 levels, and all of these people who wrote this either never did the practice or did it once or twice. Also this is something that many facilitators say that you shouldnt do for your whole life like meditation, many advocated to use it for a year or two, then after that once yearly. It is up to you obviously, i think people are going a bit crazy over this, there are many other options for psychotherapy, you dont have to do shamanic breathing. You can do mirror work, get a therapist (prolly $$) or i heard presence process & completion process books are good as well. Bonus theres a study (not sure how credible it is) where a doctor tested it on 11,000 psychiatric patients and no one displayed any health issues. Someone posted the link in the main holotropic thread.

@Elisabeth How long has the facilitator been practicing HB? thanks for your explanation

I am not looking for temporary symptom fixing, such as exercise. I used to do intense workouts for years but even that didnt help. Back in high school it started with having cold hands and cold feet. Then first few years of college i started getting blue finger nails. Now, my actual toes look blue and occasionally tips of fingers. What is the root cause of this? I take super hot showers, the intense workouts, and i drink 1-3 cups of hot tea daily, but nothing helps. Anyone have any insights/tips? i was thinking about starting cold showers/cold therapy bonus for any people into esoterica, do you know whats the vibrational cause of this, regarding emotional patterns?

i wouldnt do the sessions that are 1.5+ hours, because that can be dangerous, especially 3 hours, but 15-40 is safe, from what ive researched. Ive read into it as much as i could and could not find anything rly negative. Maybe i am wrong, so ill keep track of peoples experiences here and my own, which i keep to a short amount of time (15 min)

@Source_Mystic and this test? https://www.maps.org/news-letters/v23n1/v23n1_p24-27.pdf M.D. tested on patients for over 12 years with no negative side effects? anyways if you dont want to do it cool, that is your choice. But you are making it sound like we are purposefully consuming mercury or something. O2 deprivation is not something that *severe* especially if done just once a week for 30 minutes. And this isnt something you do for life, maybe a year to help purge emotions. then done. How do all those deep divers (the ones who hold their breath) survive? they practice heavy breathing techniques daily on deep diving? I used to do these breath holds back everyday when i was practicing diving. Do you see these swimmers dying? only the rare occasion when someone tried to hold their breath for 20 minutes and blacked out. and other than that, they are very healthy

i want to know what you want to say about o2 deprivation in exercising though? Or mountain elevation? you know the brain has neuroplasticity?

yes lets put a warning on running marathons and swimming and exercising because it is also Extended Oxygen Deprivation

so running isnt good for you either since it your o2/co2 levels are out of balance? swimming too?

SING SING!!!!!

but its not meditation, its intense psychotherapy

Its saturday today but i dont get home until late in the evening. Or should i just do it tommorow

Cold shower

to master playfulness, heal your inner-child. There are countless videos of it on youtube.
