LSD and Edgar Mitchell

This thread is inspired by a post CD posted on the forum a day or so back. LSD stands for long-slow-deep breathing. This is what it says on the tin—take a long, slow breath in, filling your lungs. Hold for a second or two, then exhale fully until your lungs are empty. Rinse and repeat.

Edgar Mitchell was an astronaut on Apollo 14. He had a profound experience in space and shared it in a video (12.17 minutes long). The video is so relaxing so here's my challenge to you.

Tuck yourself away somewhere quiet and Google...

the overall effect VR feat. Edgar Mitchell video YouTube

It should be the first one on the page. Try to expand to get it full-screen but it doesn't matter if you can't.

Try LSD for the full 12.17 seconds while watching the video. Take your pulse rate before and after - I can almost guarantee it will bring it down. It would be interesting to hear from a forum member if this worked for you.

Have a great weekend.

Hi Paul - interesting and must have been a very intense moment.

You don’t have to go to space to have these moment, deep meditation will also take you there.

But if you would like a slow guide to daily breathing practice suggest people try the Podcast - Deepak Chapra’s Infinite Realisty - Daily Breath Practice - Secrets of the Self - I am. Whether or not you want to take it further, this 9 min introduction is a really good talk through of LSD and healing vagus nerve exercise and how to help bring peace to your heart.

Hi CD.

That sounds good - I'll check out Deepak Chapra's Podcast - it sounds right up my street. I really like this LSD technique and it's so easy to remember.

Cheers Paul

Hi Paul

What does the "D" stand for?

Your post is interesting and so are Cdreamers tips

[Paulbounce in reply to Lilypocket]

Hi Lily.

It stands for Deep. Typo - now amended

Hey Paul I’m a big one on breathing too, maybe have a read of Breath by James Nestor, it’s interesting in that a lot of people breath through the mouth rather than nose. He really shows us the importance of breathing correctly and how it can affect our general health

[Paulbounce in reply to OzJames]

Thanks for the recommendation James - I'll check it out. My understanding is breathe in though the mouth and breathe out through the nose.

[OzJames in reply to Paulbounce]

your eyes will be opened when you read the book they did experiments on themselves to disprove that. Breathing through nose is the correct way and only under big effort like running up a hill will your mouth be engaged

Can attest to deep breathing and breathe control I started yoga about 30 years ago, my practitioner used breath control as part of her lessons. Not had an asthma attack since and have used them many stressful and painful situations since It's part of my armoury now

Hi Silvasava.

Yoga and deep breathing are indeed a good tool to use.

Your LSD thread had me wondering if I was back in the late 60s -- thank goodness LSD has a different meaning now!😀

[Paulbounce in reply to Snowgirl65]

For a second a thought there was a actual post about the benefits of Lysergic acid diethylamide. Anyway, I live in hope ; )
