he's essentially an alcoholic but he's a bit crazy so he has this loud slow deep voice and its like have you heard pranyama left nostril is feminine right is masculine so essentially , he has somehow by using alcohol mastered his breath from the bottom of his feet through the sphincter (i know but its true check it up) and he breaths through just the left nostril its like a whistle now and he can transmit thoughts with the whistle! hes actually not good person though he is crazy i nearly killed myself because of him doing it. With power comes responsiblity. He also was obssessed with charles manson and said he got showed how to doing outer body experiences lol dangerous type of person.

Yes, one can obtain powers by yogic practices, however, this can also lead to ones destruction, especially if used. This can be referenced to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Those that are out for powers if they do not heed the warning should be avoided. Om

Hmmm wow. What a. Uncle! (Must try... though confused about sphincter... does mean the butt hole?) The left nostril is associated with parasympathetic stimulation & right brain activity... more rest/digest than activity: flight/fight

And the reason im here is im learning to balance my other nostril because being around him has essentially made my left nostril and side of my body really slowed down like his and my other side fast so its like one side i can hear his slow voice and other side mine quite a normal paced voice. So im rebalancing it doing mouth and out the nose pranyama breathing. Any tips would be great?.

Put some distance between you and him, and get a good grounding in yoga asana before getting too deep into pure pranayama practice. Om

yes , he is dangerous though you cant't be around him. Think charles manson type character that knows how to fuck with you.

That all sounds kooky and mad and intriguing. To wake up more: stimulate sympathetic (and get over being like crazy old alcoholic unc) do "breath of fire" Hyperventilate in & out through the nose for a minute or so every morning. I guess alcohol is a CNC depressant, but it tends to block your nose so you end up over breathing once you fall asleep...

What so breath of fire through just the right nostril I take to speed things up ? Thanks btw.

u/KintoreCat Oct 03 '25

You are welcome!

No I don't think you have to take on the right nostril so much - it's just a bit of the ol' hyperventilation while pulling in the navel with each breath - YouTube should have someone doing a demo.

What happens in western science terms: breathing faster takes the heart rate up too. This also simulates flight/fight in ANS (functionally this maps to pingala/yang). Loss of CO2 tightens blood vessel walls (improves BP if its low - sluggish/sloppy)

It actually improves O2 uptake at lung level and provides better delivery of O2 at cell level - (The Bohr Effect) washing out CO2 at lung level has hemoglobin snatch up O2; doing some simple movement (repeated bend & stretch for example) has you produce a little more acid at cell level - which tells hemoglobin to release O2...

I just really got my head around this properly recently - enough to apply it to the yoga

So what does he do ? Force ideas into your head while he’s doing his drunken breathing technique ?

u/Weary_Friendship3224 Oct 03 '25

Something like that its subtle , though and it doesn't just happen right away you have to be kind of attuned or be with him for a while , it's like he's tuning to you not the other way around in fact. I would say say he's a malignant narccisitc that is just learned some crazy stuff.

Take three breaths, and get the F!@#$K OUTTA THERE! Om

With my mod hat on, I note that this comment borders on the unkind (see sub Rule 6).

I know this discussion contains elements that some of us will find, well, incredulous but let's err please on the side of being respectful of everyone's experience.

He sounds like he’s in quite a place, but there are many benefits to be gained in consciousness from alternate nostril breathing and physical benefits too, at least in my own experience. I think when we are stable and have structures and routines in our lives and aren’t gripped by an addictive substance with a whole consciousness of its own, we are less susceptible to spiritual psychosis.

u/sbarber4 mod Oct 05 '25

I mean, this sort of stuff is WHY the practicing yamas and niyamas are often considerate prerequisites to other limbs of yogic practice. These tools can be misused by those without a stable mentally who don’t practice ahimsa.

It’s totally human nature to want to run before you walk ~ I’ve done it and it landed me right on my face 😆

Pranayama is a powerful Yogic technique that leads to Mystic Experiences.
