Quick'n'dirty is exactly what a westerner wants, without painstaking hours of meditation and mindful walks through the forest. These are my tips for anyone starting out:
- The breathing part is the important part, at least for me.
- Breathing exercises are actually tougher that one thinks, but just get them over with.
- When you "hyperventilate," make sure to breathe sufficiently deep and fast to get to serious tingling in the face after 30 breaths.
- Best is if you're able to reach tingling in your dental pulp after 30 breaths; then you feel like a million bucks and know for sure you're gonna come away with energy enough for two.
The cold really helps too, but to me it's more of a "booster" compared to the breething, which really is foundational.
