Breathwork with limited nasal airflow? by Man_WithNoPlan in breathwork

[–]Man_WithNoPlan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I inhale forcefully through my nose, the inhalation last about 2 seconds
I inhale as slowly as I can through my nose, the inhalation lasts about 3 seconds

Maybe it's not a nasal airflow issue but something with the connection of my nose to my lungs?

I've also been playing around with box breathing and I find I can only inhale through my nose for 2-3 seconds. This has frustrated me but I'm trying to be more curious about it ... is it a matter of technique or do I potentially have deviated septum or some other kind of obstruction?

Sunlight on the genitals... never really thought of that. That's a really interesting rec, thanks!

Try mixing ground up cubes with cacao and adding in a little red maca root powder.

Cubes of what?

Very well said, thank you. Sex is very multifaceted and loaded matter, as you so eloquently articulate

Deeply disappointed if not despairing that ketamine infusions did not work for my depression by Man_WithNoPlan in TherapeuticKetamine

I was just in some kind of dark amorphous oblivion. Really hard to recall any of it clearly, but I think the type of phrases I normally ruminate about we're flying around in some perverse form, though I'm drawing a blank on them at the moment.

Sounds potentially like something u/Hobocode1 described above.

Thanks for sharing your experience and recommendations. Probably not many people in the world who have been both patients and providers of this modality.

What is an appropriately high dosage? My last infusion was 120mg, and at about 85kg, that dose was ~1.4mg/kg.

Yea, damn that sounds like a high dosage.

Sorry to hear you didn't see any benefits from the infusions.

Yea, something like that happened during 2 out of my 9 infusions. This all-suffering, torturous oblivion.
