@Kksd74628 Yes i believe if you infuse Spirituality to ordinary stage orange stuff you can be much more effective and happier as a person. Spirituality, connecting to God makes me a lot more creative and intelligent. I just need to focus more on the basics of survival but not completely ignore my top#1 value which is.. Consciousness.

@StarStruck Post a related video if you can.

@Leo Gura @Leo Gura I don't know about that. For example i was very lazy for years and then all of a sudden one day i had enough & i've never been that lazy again. Some kinda of shift happened. Same thing with my addiction to marijuana. One day i just said fk with this BS. But yes you could argue that it took years of suffering to reach that point of disenchantment. What would you recommend for identity-level change? Should i just focus on repeating good habits day in and day out? What else should i be doing to get the most juice out of this transformation process?

@undeather Ahahahaha it's hard not to worry about every single detail. My brain is very detail oriented. That's a gift and a curse at the same time. Thank you for you responses. Because of you now i practice more breathwork and i feel better throughout the day. One last thing: What causes the feelings of euphoria that breathwork can produce? I think you gave some explanation to this but still i don't understand.

Is Whim hof breathing (and also other deep breathing techniques) dangerous? I am not talking about doing too much & passing out in your bathtub and getting drawned. I am talking about the actual activity itself. Does it have any inherent dangers? The reason i'm asking is because i've heard the arguement that the reason deep breathing makes you feel good is because of lack of oxygen and lack of oxygen is supposedly not a good thing. Now i don't quite believe that a bit of lack of oxygen in this context can be damaging. It may even be beneficial. It's not like you are choking yourself to death. Not even close. There is also a rebalance afterwards. I know from personal experience that there is a distinct difference between being choked out like in a submission vs deep breathing. Both get you high but it's not the same experience. I never get dizzy with deep breathing. I really love deep breathing but every time i do it, i am fearful. I see people who have been doing breathwork for years & decades (like Whim Hof & Troy Casey) with not visible ill effects. And even the neuroscientist Andrew Huberman has been an advocate of deep breathing. I don't know what to make of this. If someone is more knowledgeable about the subject, give me some feedback please.

@Someone here Thank you. I cannot completely ignore Spirituality because i really love it and gives me much peace and happiness. But yes it's true i need to focus more on basic survival and success type stuff.

@integral That's what happens when you're stuck in ego consciousness. The ego has no intelligence of its own, it's robotic.

@undeather @undeather Do you believe not including the breathhold could be somewhat dangerous? What's your take on it? I've seen Andrew Huberman recommending 10-15 deep breaths for a quick burst of energy without breathhold. You said that when you do breathold CO2 slowly raises & pH drops... but if i just breath normally after 30 breaths, won't the same process happen??? I have done deep breathing without breatholds for like 2 hours few years ago. It cleansed me of some real deep trauma. I was crying for days afterwards. Very very therapeutic. I also know that Whim Hof has done deep breathing for hours also. Do you think doing many many deep breaths without any breathhold could be dangerous? (I am talking in the context of being wise and listening to your body) Thank you for your time sir.

@undeather just Incredible....!!! So what you mean is that deep breathing results in lower oxygen levels in the brain but not in a significant & dangerous way? I don't quite understand this part. What if you do deep breathing without any breatholds? Are the breathholds really necessary? What if i want to do 30 deep breaths and then stop & just breath normally? Is that okay too? Thank you.

@Anon212 I am not judging them i think.. I am more making a factual statement. Yes i totally agree. I'm currently doing whatever it takes to go live somewhere else on my own.

@StarStruck If you want to share the solution, DM me.

@Leo Gura Yes..!!

@integral I am curious to know.. How did you finally resolve the situtation? What happened? I've already called the cops twice and they didn't help me. Quite the opposite. I've spoken to a lawyer too who told me that she is not doing anything illegal.

@undeather Undeather i'm really surprised by your responses my man... Impressive.. I don't quite understand what you meant here in the following 3 paragraphs below. Could you please make it somewhat more understandable & simpler for me please? Lastly what is the reason that deep breathing gets us high while normal breathing not? Thank you for your time. Much appreciated.

@undeather Terrific explanation. Thank you. If this is a simpified explanation then damn... ahahaha What about doing like 10-15 deep breaths without breathholid? Is that okay too? Also check the short video below me. This dude claims that whim hof causes lack of oxygen.

@Recursoinominado ahahahaha that was funny. Problem is that the other neighbors don't really support me. There are like 2-3 of them. Very low consciousness. They did not say anything in my favor about this situtation. Quite the opposite. Which really really shocked me.....

The last 2 weeks i have been experiencing a massive shift in Consciousness spiritually and everywhere else. I won't go into too much detail. But basically i have finally accepted the Call of the Hero's Journey and i am consistenly doing hard things. Since then i don't get much sleep. It bothers me more psychologically than anything else. I have plently of energy and drive even with the 3 hours of sleep i am getting every day the last couple of weeks. I guess is the stress of deep change. I am not sure. Can someone give me some advice on what i should do? If this continues much longer, i will probably take some drugs temporarily that may be helpful to let me sleep more. I don't know what is happening. I have experienced something similar before but never to this intensity. (Because now is the best period of my entire life ). Thankfully i feel pretty healthy and quite well even with this little sleep that i am currently getting. Only problem is fear that i have.

After a prolonged period of intense misery, some type of inner surrender happened and there was a shift in my state Consciousness. Very subtle at first.. To keep it short, the last 2 weeks i have experienced the best period of my entire life so far. My experience of Reality has become so good that it's unbelievable good at times. Reality can't get any better. God doesn't mess around for sure. I experience a strong & clean energy inside my skull but at the same time there is a calmness behind it. It's a controlled energy i would say. Nothing out of control. Not manic. Not over the board. I find everything much more interesting and i have the most passion for life that i've ever experienced. I feel wave of emotions that i've never felt before. My intelligence has skyrocketed where it feels like i'm the character on the Limitless movie. The only downside is that because of this energy i sleep like 3 hours per day. The insane part is that i have way more energy now than when i was sleeping 7 hours per day . This sleep issue has forced me to visit a psychiatrist and i managed to sleep more by taking Lorazepam & Olanzapine at night. I don't like taking these drugs because they make me numb and stupid. I take them only when i can't take it anymore. I don't know what to do. I guess my body will adjust to my new Reality as time passes. It's very challenging at times but extremely rewarding aswell. Any advice from someone who has experienced something similar would be much appreciated.

@Yimpa I also take medication ocassianally to sleep more hours (Lorazepam & Olanzapine). I feel very well with 3 hours of sleep. It's just more tiring and difficult to go through the day. I don't take these drugs all the time because i really don't wanna be on medications for very long. Do you have any advice for me and what should i do with this situation? Thank you.

@Michal__ I used to meditate in the past for like 4 years on & off. I became really good at it. Nowadays i don't actively sit down to mediate but my mind is super calm at times and i notice the breathing naturally. I think the reason i'm experiencing all of this is because of massive changes i made in my life.

@Emotionalmosquito What do you mean?

Leo you say in this video multiple times that we humans are so entitled . I do not understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate some more? You make it seem like we don't deserve the beautiful things God has created.

You can watch just the first 3 minutes and you'll get the idea. The creator of the video is clearly a materialist. Also there is this arguement used a lot that we do not perceive Reality as it is because of.. science. Can you give me your take on this? Thank you.

@integral I don't understand what you're talking about at times. How do you know what applies and what doesn't to me? Just by the fact you stop resisting your experience, this reduces the energy you spend everyday and makes you need less sleep. When you are super motivated to accomplish stuff you also tend to sleep less. People who want to escape life sleep the most. I do not feel any negatives whatsoever and it's been like close to 3 weeks now. I feel super energized and calm at the same time. And with the 3 hours of sleep i feel very good too. There is a lot we don't know about sleep. The 1st 3 hours of sleep are the most important to your body. If your body feels its time to cut sleep it will cut the latter part for some higher purpose (like surviving a challenging transformation). Eventually my body will start sleeping more when it adjusts to the stresses of the new challenges i am currently facing.

@Javfly33 That's a good question. Mainly because of fear of losing my health. But i feel great with the 3 hours of sleep i get.
