Hi, two suggestions that work for me: 1) The Wim Hof method. How to do it: ▶ this video Guided session: link 2) Reveri - self hypnosis app: link Also, do you get enough sunlight during the day? They say it balances your circadian rythm. Some other resources that might be helpful: link link
> Does WH recommend using his method for breath-holding underwater? (I don't know) No, he explicitly says don't do that. Just one example: ▶ this video
I Mettamage, first of my name (yes! Always wanted to do that), declare on the interwebs as a random person that I was a test subject in the following study: link True story :) I guess it helps that: - My name is mettamage (metta = loving-kindness in Buddhism).

TL;DR - what I did in Poland for 4 training days: 1. Breathing Techniques: the most important one is a lot like hyperventilation but not the same (!). Explanation: I couldn't find a good YouTube video quick as even Wim himself isn't explaining it well on YouTube, IMO. He explained it way differently than me.

Then afterwards we got tested with an endotoxin. Normally you get an immune response. People who did the WHM had a 50% reduced immune respons and a lot of adrenaline. They think it's because of the shit ton of cortison th
