This says you don't ?

+1 ♥️

I genuinely don't see this as being negative, being cautious over a technique that limits your brain of oxygen is being mature surely? ? Friend says: "eat this berry I just picked from the forest? I don't know if it's poisonous or not" Would you say to hell with it and eat it?

No a joke, don't know wether your familiar with the term...

@Ether ether my responses are usually jest based, take your own advice to me ??

Today is my first day Prescription Medication free for 6 years. I've been on Morphine daily up untill today (haven't gone cold turkey just reduced gradually) due to Chronic pain. I feel I owe my gratitude to @Leo Gura and to myself because without PD/consciousness work this wouldn't of been possible. I do have a question, (was unsure where to post this) I know your not medical professionals but I thought I'd ask just incase. Would there be any type of ego hold onto eliminating the medication? If so, any idea what to watch out for? Curious to see if the ego would respond to eliminating medication on the psychological level. Thanks all ♥️

I don't wish to die from the egoic mind. Breathing not enough ??

Yeah NOW it is, it wasn't years ago, they even assumed smoking was good for you! I have researched and I've found research based on depriving your brain from oxygen for an amount of time continuously to be not a good idea. I'm not saying I'm against it by the way, this isn't an 'against' opinion, I'm still going to give it a go myself. I just like to go into things considering other possibilities.

I genuinely think if you do this everyday you could injure yourself in some way, depriving your brain from oxygen everyday (even in small amounts) are bound to have negative effects

@Timotheus Fair enough, completely up to you

@Samra "Low carbon dioxide levels lead to narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. This reduction in blood supply to the brain leads to symptoms like lightheadedness and tingling in the fingers. Severe hyperventilation can lead to loss of consciousness." Referring to hyperventilation.

Thousands of people smoked cigarettes for years until it's links to cancer become known ?

@phoenix666 I know right! Oh it's too much info to type, I'll end up boring you ? quick description though, so much love, like it felt like I was just love, nothing else. Also movements and stuff during meditation.

This has been me over the past four months ?

+1 Short answer, leave, before it turns even more physical! Yelling at you is already a sign of abuse even before the physical violence! Your not responsible for his anger/emotions. If you don't want to respond to him/look at him when he's yelling, don't. He is responsible for his reactions. Talking about porn? Oh jeez ? interesting topic ?. Also, he has zero respect for you. I'm so sorry you went through that ? ♥️

@Shroomdoctor typical example of a day in my life ?

@pluto

That's awesome Pluto! 100 percent agree. That's amazing and interesting. I actually agree with this, I've changed my mind I won't patch. I'm on a low nic dosage anyway with the vaping. Over the past few months I've radically changed my eating habits via mindfulness so I will apply the same with e-cigarette. Thanks Pluto and well done on quitting! ?

@Key Elements ?? I feel sorry for the tumbleweed now, poor dude, no direction in life, not knowing where he's going to end up next, probably seriously dehydrated and confused ?? Ah Okay thank you!!
