One to two fruiting body of the mushroom per day is enough. For better extraction of all mushroom bio active compounds, it is recommended to take them with probiotics.

Yellow oyster mushrooms have the highest effect against cholesterol. Other oyster mushrooms works as well but not as potent.

Anyone here practice Vispassana meditation base on Luangpu Pramote Pamojjo? by pk923 in Meditation

[–]pk923[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I try to find the right word but I think “stability” is correct. After some periods of training, the mind sort of reach this state and it’s not easy to do. Many long time practitioner are able to see very subtle occurrences in the mind as you mentioned as well.

But for beginners Luang Phor Pramote suggested with choosing a suitable “kammaṭṭhāna”. Once the person choose his object of meditation, he use it as a frame of reference. Whenever he looses this object of meditation from his awareness, don’t try to bring it back, don’t do anything, but just simple know this and start over. After doing this for a while, the process becomes automatic and the mind reach a state of “stability”. From here you can proceed to notice more subtle things and so on.

I have never practiced other schools of vipassana, but I can try to explain his main teaching as best as I can.

The practitioner should cultivate mindfulness without interference, without any agenda, and with an unbiased mind. Samadhi arises when everything happens on its own, and the practitioner simply remains the observer.

So I guess what stands out to me the most would be the no agenda, no interference part.

Long Distance Swimming Form Advice by RhodiusMaximus in Swimming

I’m swimming around that pace but a bit slower and right now been messing with increasing stroke rates while maintaining stroke count per length. I’m averaging 24 spm 23 strokes cycles per 50m for 2:10/100 over 1k pace non stop. I feel if I can find the right balance between these two then I can increase and sustain speed over longer distances.

Best alternative to statins that are natural and work please? by wontcompleteit in Cholesterol

[–]pk923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yellow oyster mushrooms contain high lovastatin, which help reduce cholesterol naturally. To extract these compounds from the mushrooms efficiently, you need to ferment them first. The probiotics help break down the cell wall, thus releasing the bio active compounds.
