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.

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 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.

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.

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