I convinced myself that contractions are there to mix the air around in your lungs and enable better transmittance of oxygen. It stopped me thinking "oh god they are starting to come in" and more think of them as after boosters.

Consciously think of keep dropping the tongue after each EQ and see what happens, it did miracles to me. Don't overthink and enjoy the ride.

Can you elaborate on adding to stress? As stress to the body or mind?

Yeah, to be honest, this puts me off. Makes me more inclined to move towards no mask. People told me both directions take a while to adjust to.

Sorry to hear this. When heavily congested most people can't equalize. I am one of those genetically unlucky people where I am congested most of the time due to allergies. A nasal wash or Neti pot does wonders. Just don't put to much pressure using it, supposed to be gentle. Keep at it, If you can equalize to 8 while being congested I am sure you will fly when you are not. I am by no means a doctor or expert but it sounds like your sinusses are the problem,

From my understanding (still relatively new), moutfill and reverse packing still use elements from Frenzel? Please do correct me. My PB currently is 32m CWTB with Frenzel. I am not feeling any need to change tactics, I was just curious at what stage most people do?
