As wim would say, get high on your own supply.
But in seriousness hyperoxia is mildly psychedelic, especially when you are in a state (athletic, euphoric, love etc) which naturally produces high levels of serotonin, oxytocin, dopamine, etc.
When I was backpacking for 7 months with my wife, I would climb mountains as fast as I could and wait for her at the tops. I started doing wim hof while waiting and it was deeply rewarding
- grugagag 2y agoHow exactly do you ‘do’ wim hof and for how long?
- mettamage 2y agoIf you’re open to it, I can teach you. My email is in my profile
- thomascgalvin 2y agoThe Wim Hof method is explained here: https://www.wimhofmethod.com/breathing-exercises https://www.wimhofmethod.com/breathing-exercises
- nico 2y agoHere’s a guided video by Wim Hof, you can just listen to it while you lay down and follow along: https://youtu.be/0BNejY1e9ik?feature=shared https://youtu.be/0BNejY1e9ik?feature=shared
- boringg 2y agoTo add to this - if you get buried in an avalanche you likely go hypoxic. Many people pulled out sometimes in the moment react negatively to be saved as they are pulled out of a euphoric state even though they are literally getting saved from death.
- swader999 2y agoJust don't do Wim Hof type breathing while driving, near water or risk of fall is high. You can pass out or faint easily if you do it a little wrong.
- redblacktree 2y agoThank you for introducing me to this. Having done just one round, the effects are reminiscent of nitrous oxide. Very interesting indeed! As you suggest, I think I'll try this again after a bout of vigorous exercise.
- rufugee 2y agoWhat specifically did you try? The wim hof breathing method after strenuous exercise?
- redblacktree 2y agoWim hof, no exercise. (but will do so later, after my normal workout routine) As others in the thread have said, this may not be any better for my health than N2O, but it's still interesting nonetheless. Probably not something for every day.
- idontwantthis 2y agoDid you feel like it was “good” for you in any way? I’ve experienced the euphoria and I definitely compare it to nitrous oxide, in that it is pleasurable, fleeting and unfulfilling. Plus I sometimes ended up with a persistent headache. It made me feel better temporarily in a time of distress, but like any drug, it only numbed me and did nothing to improve my outlook.
