Altered states of consciousness induced by breathwork accompanied by music

I have done this since forever. Put music on and doing breathwork. Some of the most imaginative ideas I have ever had, start to be generated by themselves 15 minutes in the breathwork.

I use a technique no else uses, and at the start I was trying to emulate fighters being hit in the stomach. It had occured to me that fighters have generally more triangular upper bodies than other types of athletes. It turns out, that organs in the belly aggregate fat around them, and being hit in the stomach discombobulates the fat particles. I found a more intelligent way to emulate that, and less dangerous.

Altered state of consciousness start after 10-15 minutes of breathwork, when I put saliva on my scalp to clean the testosterone from the hair. That one was inspired by cats. The male scalp excretes lots of testosterone which cannot be removed with just shampoo. This also fixes androgenetic alopecia (it does not get reversed, but stops happening). I get seriously dizzy when I do that, that's why I have given up on all mind altering substances including alcohol. Getting dizzy from exercise is so much better.

There are 2-3 more exercises I do complementary to that. The breath work also is not breath work, it is something similar.

Sorry, I can't tell if you're serious?

Can you confirm?

This reads like it could turn into good science fiction at any point but in the end it was just slightly concerning.

Saving this comment to use as copy pasta. Bravo.

He's currently high on breathing and hallucinating a bit, don't worry too much.

100% serious. Also using similar methods, I can withstand cold 0 celsious for several hours and just sit on a computer and read, wearing just shorts nothing else. Nowadays though, getting older, it starts to be a little bit challenging.

Some years back, I sat in freezing cold, 12 hours a day, wearing almost nothing and just reading. The more I can withstand cold, the better my eyes work.

You really have a great writing style - if this is an advertisement for your blog, it worked.

Thanks. I have read Anatomy books and other medical textbooks. When I have an idea for exercise, I always research it to find out what might happen in the human body.

Sounds quite interesting.

What is the more intelligent way you use to emulate fighters being hit in the stomach?

Why does saliva clean testosterone? How much saliva are you using?

> It turns out, that organs in the belly aggregate fat around them, and being hit in the stomach discombobulates the fat particles.

I so want to believe this but really?

> The male scalp excretes lots of testosterone which cannot be removed with just shampoo

Yes it can?

[EDIT] My idea there, is that internally fat individuals[1], are having trouble exercising parts of their body located near their center of mass, even if they are athletes. Not all athletes obviously, but most of them. Being hit by some other person at that area, seems the most efficient way to remove the fat particles. The only thing I had to do, is find a way to emulate it, but with less danger and not requiring a second person.

This 100% horse shit, or just surprisingly clever trolling. I used to box many years, sparring 12 rounds every thursday. What ”discombobulates” fat is the insane amount of cardio at the very near and above your top heart rate. Exercise where you are punched to the stomach repeatedly is to learn how to flex your abs so that you are not dropped with one hook to the belly. And there is plenty of fat boxers, just look at Tyson Fury or Andy Ruiz Jr.

> The male scalp excretes lots of testosterone

This seems a problem to you. Why?

It is an absolute work of art

gr8 b8 m8, I r8 8/8!

Fat around the organs (visceral fat [0]) is indeed a problem. Though I believe you've got the causality wrong. Many fighting styles select for people with broad shoulders and narrow hips (sometimes known as the mesomorph body type, though that system has its own problems). Strict weight categories and, of course, lots of training keep them lean and any kind of fat to a minimum (ignoring heavy weight classes, some forms of wrestling, and meat mountains like Valuev).

If this isn't trolling (and I do suspect it is), it reads like fitness influencer tosh like "running kills gains, you don't want to a marathoner body".

These claims are false.

Looked him up. I think he’s for real.

the comment you're replying to meant that your text is super cringe.

This is not 4chan. Can mods please remove this slop?

> What is the more intelligent way you use to emulate fighters being hit in the stomach?

It is a little bit complicated, but what I do, I put some music on, I lay down on a bed or a sofa, with my head hanging from the edge, and hanging as much necessary, so as the prefrontal cortex is the lowest point of my whole body. That way blood starts to flow towards the lowest point, and the prefrontal cortex is responsible for imagination, memory, higher order ideas and more. I want to activate that particular area of the brain.

My hands, are at the back, and pressed by my body, one at the height of the scapulae, one lower. There is one muscle, that gets exercised, only when the hands are configured like that, at the back.

From then on, I move my mouth as if i am chewing imaginary leaves, like a cow. Breath synchronizes with the mouth moving, and the stomach is moving as if it is getting hit by a fist.

I get six pack at my belly, just from that exercise. The main reason I do that though, is that I want to pump as much blood to the prefrontal cortex as possible. I get some crazy ideas that way.

This sounds like a spoof LinkedIn post.

> I get some crazy ideas that way.

Evidently.

I love the "[...], but what I do, [...]", and "so as the prefrontal cortex is the lowest point of my whole body", lmao!

No it can't. Saliva has enzymes in it, enzyme means: "in life"-alive. Shampoo substances are dead, or chemical combinations which were never alive.

> Though I believe you've got the causality wrong.

Fair, it might be that. I have tried to emulate this effect, and it worked. So, I dunno.

By that logic any cleaning detergent also can't remove blood, sweat, or other bodily excretions from any surface?

Enzymes are pretty common in laundry detergents and probably also shampoos.

This is also not Reddit where you call for mods to remove things you find uncomfortable. I'd rather this guy be talked out of his delusions rather than letting him become more aggravated alone. Failing that, other people who were about to consider embarking on the same delusions would be hopefully discouraged by the rational replies.

I didn't like this one at all, didn't sample more.

Must be a highly useful muscle if it only ever gets used in that one weird position.

What did I just read?

i somewhat know the benefits of the saliva such that it helps heal wound is it really effective to you? did someone recommend this to you or are experimenting this for yourself? has anyone other than you experienced this benefit?\

Thanks for posting the detailed instructions. I'll be trying this myself. I discovered a technique that lets you use orthostatic pressure combined with breath to seriously alter my mental and physical state within seconds, and this was after years of casually trying other breathwork. In the field of self-development, the only empiricism is actually trying stuff. And it's usually a field of great personal invention.

He looks authentic. You’d be surprised how varied and ridiculous people’s ideas about how the world works can get when they have some intelligence, some ignorance, and a little bit too much self confidence. Doesn’t seem harmful to anybody else in his case. I’ve done (and still do) my own share of biohacking.

Random threads here will ocassionally surface these guys in the extremes.

And also by the same logic, chemical reactions in general are impossible outside of life. E.g. a fire.

Enzymes are biological substances, but they aren't living organisms. Hence why they are in my dried powder detergent and the like.

Spot reduction / targeted fat loss is considered "disproved" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_reduction, https://www.yalescientific.org/2011/04/targeted-fat-loss-myt...

General fat loss will remove fat anywhere, area specific exercises will tone said area (like abs) which will make them feel firmer which gives the impression of fat loss in a specific area.

Yeah, I'm not sure all of that was necessary for the crazy ideas.

It's against the TOS of HN to tell people that without rational justifications. That's what I was told by a mod when I did that.

The word "enzyme" comes from the Greek words "en-" (in) and "zymē" (leaven), coined by German physiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1878 from the German word Enzym.

to help them interpret other commenters' comments?

Reading this altered my consciousness to the point I thought for an instant that I was back on 4chan or something.

> discombobulates the fat particles

Hey, hey, hold on there Einstein. Enough with the technical jargon!

HN has mods?

i dont think hes trolling. this kind of schizo output is common on shroomery.org, i think hes from there

Well, do tell. Surely, it's easier than six pack technique.

A detergent probably can. On that will be labeled as shampoo, which is intentionally gentle, to not remove too much oil from your scalp (which causes excessive oily hair, since it's regulated with a feedback system by the sebaceous glands), maybe not.

Both of you should provide evidence.

I think you are confusing testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a testosterone derivative and is not testosterone itself. Shampoos that contain anti-DHT chemicals like minoxidil can block DHT from attacking your hair follicles but don't eliminate it from the body.

I've got to know these 2-3 more exercises that you speak of. Also what is the more intelligent way to emulate that.

Based beyond belief.

Hey, don’t assume how I interpreted it. It’s just a Great Wall of Text to send along as a non-sequitor.

Hey, I’m the guy who replied to you. While I was definitely trying to take the piss, I also should have made it more clear that I liked your comment. I thought it was wild and funny, in addition to being a little bit interesting.

Hopefully you were able to take it in stride, and I’m sorry for any distress I may have caused!

> I'd rather this guy be talked out of his delusions

Do you have an estimate for the likelihood of success for that enterprise? Or, is the measure of success rather to prevent others from embarking on similar delusional pursuits irrespective of whether the original proponent abandoned them or not?
