I don't know if they were referring to the Wim Hof breathing technique, but it will also make you super lightheaded and put you in a meditative state.
Round 1:
about 30 deep breathing breaths. non stop fill it all, empty it all. fast paced
After the last breath, keep your lungs empty and DO NOT BREATH for a whole minute
after the minute, fill your lungs fully then hold for 15 seconds
breath normally for 5 seconds or so
Round 2 (where it gets ''hard'':
same thing, about 30 deep breaths non stop fill it all, empty it all. fast paced again
After the last breath, keep your lungs empty and DO NOT BREATH nor fill them with the slightest bit of air for a whole minute and a half. again, do not fill your lungs at allll.
after the minute and a half you fill it for again 15 seconds
breath normally for 5 seconds or so.
Round 3.
Exact same as round 2. this one will probably where it feels like you wont make it but you got to let the body do it's thing!
Reminder for anyone reading this, Wim Hof is a charlatan, his "method" has resulted in many deaths, and he once apparently stuck a public fountain up his ass to avoid talking to his son.
Yikes I had no idea about the man, himself. I only really know about the breathing technique and can confirm that it definitely is an interesting experience. It put me in an almost psychedelic state, but it's not something I would want to do regularly.
Thanks for spreading awareness, though. I don't wish to promote bullshit artists. From a quick look into the deaths, it seems they all involved a pool or a body of water and drowning. So hopefully the breathing technique by itself is safe enough, at least.
Has anyone here heard of wall-bong or is it just something my cousins invented?
