The road to hell is paved with the relentless normalization of evil, sickness, idiocy, violence, mental illness, fear, pain, crime, ill behaviors, artificiality and so forth.
It’s on the news, it’s in every show. The collective consciousness is saturated with this darkness.
Not everything is relative. Goodness is real and badness is real. Right and wrong are real. Light and darkness are real.
Healthy vs sick. Strong vs weak. High vs low. Bravery vs cowardice. Clarity vs confusion.
If you are willing to awaken your mind and uplift your spirit, you have to choose how you are using your mind, what you focus on, how you express your free will.
Feel free to entertain and indulge in all negative thoughts and low behaviors and see for yourself where it takes you.
The gate is narrow for a reason.
You know what to do. Because you know who you’ve chosen to be.

Back to the subject of breathing and cellular respiration.
A high oxygen blood saturation (SpO2) between 95 and 99% only shows that a normal level of O2 circulates in your blood but it is not an indication of optimum cellular oxygenation.
So how do you know if your CELLS, not your blood, are well oxygenated if that’s not by looking at your superficial oxygen blood saturation on an oximeter?
Answer:
By paying attention to your regular breathing.
An optimum state of cellular respiration is revealed in the way you breathe.
At rest an overall well-oxygenated body - not just well-oxygenated blood - doesn’t need to breathe a lot.
Your breathing should be nasal, slow, light, smooth and silent.
Stretching your rib cage helps increasing lung volume to inhale more air (when needed).
Greater lung volume = greater vital capacity, which is a fundamental variable of longevity.
But something very important is missing. Do you know what it is and why it matters so much?
The flexibility of your rib cage doesn’t go one direction only, outwardly. It also goes inwardly.
How far can your rib cage go inwardly?
Why does that matter?
Ask yourself, how does air get into your lungs? Because it’s pulled in right? But how?
That’s because when your diaphragm relaxes, it creates
sub-atmospheric intra-thoracic pressure. In short, a vacuum-like depression is created in your lungs that sucks air from the outside.
I'm progressively getting back to the 6 minutes no warmup (and no hyperventilation) breath holds I used to do in the late morning on a fasted state.
Currently at "only" 5 minutes 10 seconds. I could do 6.
But willpower is only one element of the game.
FORCING the nervous system with pure will is not the best route, the same way TRICKING the nervous system by using hyperventilation is not the best route.
An essential aspect of this no warmup, no hyperventilation approach is physiological and neurological readiness.
Such neurophysiological readiness is neither obtained by brutalizing nor tricking your own neurophysiology.
When a true BJJ & MMA legend such as Rickson Gracie talks about the importance of breathing, who wouldn't want to listen?
Yet, no disrespect to the legend but lots of what he says about breathing is false (and dangerous even).
An IMPORTANT thread.
Rickson starts with something absolutely true:
“The big change in my life was when I learned how to breathe I started to bring more spiritual possibilities, more mental possibilities.”
Learning to breathe properly can absolutely transform your life, that is a wonderful truth.
Then he talks about the interaction between the brain and mind, the heart, and then with the lungs and breathing. Also how regulating breath helps to regulate the heart, mindset, and emotions. That is all true and incredibly important.
Unless they are violently coerced citizens don’t need resorting to violent resistance and can resist totalitarian regulations by paralyzing their country. Planes don’t fly, trains stay in their stations, heavy trucks immobilize highways. A general STRIKE is a SIEGE from within.
Then globalist are trying to show people “who’s BOSS” worldwide in a concerted effort. When people paralyze their country they’re showing those techno-fascists who’s boss. Because nothing works anymore and it happens overnight and until THEY back out.
