I should explain what was the reasoning behind eating the meat RAW: after years of subjectively seeing meat consumption as “unnatural”, I believed that the taste of it, uncooked and unseasoned, or the mere smell of it, would make me INSTANTLY GAG.

#WorldVeganDay
What happened next is that I found myself blissfully eating the whole thing as I let my INSTINCT lead rather than my mind.

And just like that my instinct TOOK OVER.

#WorldVeganDay
I wasn’t disgusted, I enjoyed it as if I’d been starved from it for so long...because I had.

I didn’t throw it up, I didn’t get a stomach ache, I digested it perfectly instead.

#WorldVeganDay
I didn’t get a headache, actually all brain fog an low energy was GONE. Just like that.

I didn’t get sick, I actually felt better and stronger.

#WorldVeganDay
A single meat experiment proved my 7 years experiment WRONG.

#WorldVeganDay
The proof is in the pudding.
My pudding isn’t your pudding. Do what’s right for you. Personally I’ve learned a ton during these years, not just about diet, but about myself, and that also matters a lot. Ultimately it’s not just about diet, but also about individual wisdom.

BREATHE BETTER INSTANTLY.

How?

Simple. VERY simple.

Takes seconds.

No equipment needed.

You can do it ANYTIME and ANYWHERE and nobody will notice.

Ready?
At the end of a regular exhale, KEEP EXHALING 😮‍💨 for a few seconds.
How much you exhale is up to you and the sensations you experience:

FEEL it more than you think about it.

My BreathHoldWork immersion practice today:

6x 4:00 holds with decreasing recovery time. The last round was easy (no fighting) so great progress compared to 3 days ago.

4 x 2:30 holds with only 10 seconds recovery. EASY level (no fight).

Altitude 7,400 ft / 2,250 meters.
The baseline I wanted is now established so tomorrow I’ll start increasing hold time again.
Breath-holding doesn’t and should never rely on an old trick like hyperventilation.

First you need to have your meditation techniques down.
In other words, you’ve mastered your inner experience and can stay composed and clear-minded.

Today I broke the US 🇺🇸 static breath-holding national record I already held (under the CMAS rules) by an extra 24 seconds…but this time in the “Master” category (+50 years old).

The 7 minutes 8 seconds record was validated by the US Freediving Federation. ImageImageImage
I’m happy yet not satisfied because the water and weather conditions caused me to get cold early. Fighting the cold takes a lot of energy, causes tension and mild shivering, which costs significant oxygen and shortens the time you can hold your breath.
That’s especially the case because maximum breath hold attempts are done on a fasted state (18 hours fast or so) which makes you sensitive to cold, and obviously breathing cannot be used for internal regulation.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The FIVE main reasons why holding breath on FULL LUNGS will improve your regular breathing much more than after an exhale.

👇🏼
#1

A maximal inhale is a significant inspiratory effort that will strengthen your diaphragm and all your upper respiratory muscles.

With greater respiratory strength your regular breathing becomes easier, slower and more economical.
#2

Maximal inhales will significantly expand your rib cage and stretch its surrounding tissues, making your rib cage bigger and more flexible.

A more flexible rib cage makes your regular breathing easier, slower and more economical.

What can you do to improve your sleep?

A non-nerdy thread.
By far the most effective way to fall asleep faster and to sleep deeper is to COOL your body.
It can be done by taking a cool or cold water shower, or by soaking in cool or cold water until you get goosebumps.

No need to get to the point of shivering.

WHM gone wrong…

A thread.
Two years ago Steve @Stivka3 , a breathwork instructor from Australia, hurt his lungs badly doing the WHM exercise…the very wrong way, without being aware of it.

Steve gave me permission to share this story.
In his own words, at the end of his breath hold, he experienced the most painful thing he'd ever felt, and every gasping breath he took was followed by an excruciating blood-drenched cough.

What happened?
