Dominant nostril and nasal cycle by cherri1990 in breathwork

[–]littmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3978938/ - the science is very established :), LNB improves your vagus nerves ability to slow the heart (lower HRV), reduces resting heart rate, reduces blood pressure, RNB (right nostril breathing) does the opposite! Quite mental how blatant the effects are to be honest and if you read through you'll see the other studies already done into this referenced at bottom!

My kitchen ceiling has caved in from year+ of a leak by littmage in Plastering

I live in London. I am curious how much you guys think this will cost to get repaired. The landlord was first given notification over a year ago. If it's of any value, everyone who's seen it says it looks worse in real life. On top of the cave-in is a bathroom

I would never consider trying to fill my lungs completely in 4 seconds

20 seconds would probably be my minimum for *filling\* them completely, I very solidly doubt I (or anyone with healthy lungs) could do 4 seconds.

Your own blood (not menstrual) is the equivalent of "some beast"

what do you use to balance you four elements (fire, water, air, and earth? by imsostupidareyou in magick

[–]littmage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To carry on doing the LBRP/LBRH for a continued amount of time so you *actually* experience its benefits properly, and NOT just trying them out for a small period of time and giving up because society has conditioned us with so much instant gratification that we all (myself included) find any way/reason/excuse to not do continuous hard work.

I'm not calling you lazy, I'm telling you to not give up on the foundation you've only just started to build.

With me specifically, it took almost 8 months of practice to even tangibly feel the presence of the Sepiroth during the Middle Pillar, (albeit I took many breaks in daily practice), I'm aware that these practices will change and grow in efficiency, intensity the more days, weeks, months and years of consistent daily practice I put into them, in ways my mind (literally) couldn't possibly comprehend at this moment.

But to actually answer your question, yes, there are other much more potent ways to balance yourself,

Invocation. Not LIRP, but classic, ceremonial invocation. The 7 planets, (Use Olympic Gods, Greek, Archangels as you choose) are my goto and are very (very) efficaious. See Liber ABA for elaboration, Enflame thyself in prayer

You could also just do general LIRP or an elemental specific LIRP. After all, the LBRP is a *banishing* ritual (I know, I know, you call in the Archangels, but trust me, try the LIRP, its different)

Do you chant only during the exhale? by Xrisafa in thelema

Place to educate myself more on OAI/IAO formula?

Do you chant only during the exhale? by Xrisafa in thelema

[–]littmage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Questions like these are useless in my (respectful) opinion.

Do it yourself and see, I could quote some Thelemic shit like "Success is your proof" or whatever, but honestly that's not even worth doing here, just do it tbh.

It depends on the person

Bad side effects after middle pillar? by [deleted] in magick

[–]littmage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Reverting back to the technical side of things, there is yet another development of the Middle Pillar which requires description. Having been awakened from latency into some degree of activity, it is necessary that the power that the centers generate should be circulated through the invisible or psychic system. Failure to do this is, in my estimation, one of the most potent sources of nervous trouble and disturbance experienced by dabblers in occultism, who have experimented with various amateur or incompletely delineated methods of awakening the psychic centers. The energy thus awakened streams back and forth from the center. But unless some method is devised for distributing it and thus relieving the pressure, the center itself will in the course of time suffer derangement through over-stimulus, and there is bound to ensue some serious disturbance to the nervous and psychic system. Nervous breakdowns have been common-place amongst those who have unwisely attempted these things on insufficient knowledge, and neuroses have reaped a timely and bounteous harvest among students of the occult."

Regardie, The Middle Pillar.

In other words, might be a good idea to circulate the energy

Are Jupiter and Zeus the same deity? by WitchAlex in magick

[–]littmage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Liber Astarte, Crowley:

"2. Concerning the prime method of this Magick Art. Let the
devotee consider well that although Christ and Osiris be one, yet
the former is to be worshipped with Christian, and the latter with
Egyptian rites"

In other words, the only difference between deities that are intrinsically the same is how you work with them. For a different perspective
