RE: Treasures Found on the Edge of the Road
Dear @edgarare1 and @everyone-else
I've been researching a lot lately about different methods of dealing with stress and I bumped into Dutch guy called "Wim Hof" and promoted by him breathing method.
Seriously as much as I'm not into yoga and I don't think I would like to sit still for such a long perionds of time, I still believe that it's valuable to at least bring some benefits of meditation to our every-day-life.
So now my question is:
Did anyone here ever tried or heard about Wim Hof breathing method? And did you ever tried meditation and do you still continue? Please share with us your experience.
Yours
Piotr
Friend @crypto.piotr
I can tell you with all sincerity, that I have never learned that method.
However on the other hand I have all the certainty that I am going to investigate. that method
Thank you so much @lanzjoseg for taking the time and try to know about the method
Hey @crypto.piotr, thanks for recommending the read. Was definitely worth my time, follow, upvote and resteem, @edgarare1! ;)
I do know Wim Hof, however I'd say that what he does is not really different from what I know as "holotropic breathing" which I've got some amazing experiences with.
But let me tell you my favorite short cut into a meditative state: JUST DANCE! Close your eyes, let your body move to the rhythm, just flow into it and feel your consciousness shifting in, like a minute! Have fun! :)
Dear @mayb
Could you please share your experience with "holotropic breathing"? It the first time Im hearing about it and I would love to hear your first-hand experience.
Yours
Piotr
as usual, when you're asking a question like that it's something I am already working on. So funny, this synchronicity with you all the time! :D
Invented by Stanislav Grof who experimented with LSD in Psychotherapy. But since the substance got banned he developed this breathing technique because he felt it could effect your brain in a similiar way LSD does.
I am doing it for different reasons. To alter my consciousness and for health benefits mostly. But you can use it to get into trance or to do astral travels and all sorty of crazy stuff. You will feel euphoric when you try. I promise.
So, those guys are really disturbing so I can't recomment to do it with them, HOWEVER the ways she leads them is very close to the way I am doing it. And I like to listen to shamanic drums while I am doing it.
Hi @mayb
Thank you for your yet another amazing comment :) Appreciate it greately
Also big thx for that link to youtube :)
Yours
Piotr
always welcome. I really like your engagement and thoughts. :)
After we talked about it, I got inspired to do it once again this morning. Was a wonderful experience. I felt a burning ball of energy on each of my hands and my thighs (which are a little hurting at the moment) started burning and became very heavy. Right after I fell into a deep and very refreshing sleep. Dreamless. Pure nothing.
That´s right @mayb meditation actually is similar to dancing...
When you are a beginner in dance you have to concentrate to remember every step and practice everyday... It converts you an expert and good dancer...!!!
Thanks a lot for coming ...!!!
since this is my favorite topic: I am glad to be here. :)
Love your comment, thank you for your big support @mayb
Dear Piotr,
As a matter of fact, I did tried meditation but, I am not big into chanting while going into an altered state of mind.
I just want you to know these things:
Yes. I have read of Wim Hof method but, I do not want to try it out because of the "exposure to cold" factor. In my experience, being exposed to anything cold would result in your muscles cramping especially on your legs. I have been doing lotus position, fire log position, indian tailor sit position and casual sitting- on the floor position while meditating: they do have something in common: after awhile, your legs starts to feel cold, cramp, sometimes you feel pain or, you feel nothing at all.
Kind regards
Anne
Thanks for your words, @nurseanne84. I couldn't explain it in abetter way:
You don't need to sit for a very long time to meditate. Initially, 5 minutes is enough.
You do not need to learn complex mantras or positions of whatever. You can prop up yourself on your bed, sitting down, close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
No special breathing techniques necessary. Just focus on breathing in and out
I do the same
no worries @mllg. I just want to simplify the concept in case someone out there has reason to believe that they needed to attend special classes, buy this and that accessory or, do something special like getting into full lotus position in order to meditate.
Fine!!!
Yeah, that´s it @mllg
Just five minutes is enough .
Thank you so much for coming...!!
I'm following you because I like your post
Thank you so much for your big support @mllg
Dear @nurseanne84
Thank you for your amazing comment. Seriously appreciate it a lot.
His method seem to consist of 2 different things. I'm only focusing on breathing method and I do not care about exposure to cold. It's still one of the best thing that I've implemented into my life. Maybe it's placebo but it does feel this way.
ps.
you're very responsive which is absolutely great and steemit community surely will benefit by having you here.
if you would ever like to keep in touch and support each other closer, then drop me a message [email protected].
This will allow us to communicate easier.
No pressure of course,
Cheers, Piotr
Thanks Piotr. For me, its not just the fascination of "being paid" or "getting attention." Its more of having intellectual stimulation hehehe.
Its also a great motivation that now, though btc is dropping, steem is maintaining is value.........

I really appreciate it a lot...!!!
Hello @nurseanne84 I love your comment..
Everything you said is true..!!
In this case:
If you don't want to try this one, it is not necessary ..!! This one is only when you have mastered the technique...
Thank you for your comment ...!!!
I'd watched several videos of Wim Hof.
He had a terrible background that lead him to an extraordinary abilities.
Do we need to tremble in order to acquire extraordinary abilities?
Maybe or maybe not.
If we're in a discomfort condition, our brain obviously triggers, much more if we feel horrible pains inside and out.
Near death experiences and testimonies had been recorded. Forces from out of this world are experienced and testified.
Going back to meditation, not everyone meditates. I guess a person has a journey when he/she will eventually reach a point when he/she would feel like he/she wants to pray or meditate.
When this habit of prayer or/and meditation matures, it would become easier to simply shift from one thought to the other. Even in the midst of crowd a person could pray or meditate, but not all could do this.
Dear @ronel
Good question :)
