The way that my brain interprets this "red" color and displays it in my "field of view" is the same type of conceptual visualization that is happening when a buddhist monk sits for a meditation session to "opoen his thrid eye." The difference is that "the color red" is a conceptual visualization is one that has been useful and used on an extremely regular basis since the day you were born, and the "open the third eye" visualization is one that is not useful in every day likfe, so the monk had to purposefully set aside time to rexperience it.ĮDIT: First, I would like to say that I'm pretty drunk right now, and I feel like saying all of this.ĮDIT 2: Second, these are not actually edits, I'm just putting these in on my first go round of commenting.ĮDIT 3: I have a theory about religions (though more specifically the eastern "mystic" forms of religion, along with other all life is connected" types of mysiticisms from around the wolrld). Once it's done that, I realize that I'm looking at something that is red. The brain then has the job of interpreting those nueral impulses. In order to control the things that the body does, it is useful to use imagery and conceptual frameworks that 'believe' in supernaturally woo woo type stuff."ĮDIT: (bonus number) 7: When my eyes recieve light in the wavelength range of what we call "red", it excites some particulat neurons that lead to a particular place in the barin.
It uses the language of belief and emotion and feelings. But the brain doesn't use the language of science. Science tells us what's actually going on. I guess I am looking for good information on exactly what happens in your body when you are doing the WHM.ġ)People wouldn't subscribe to something if it didn't at least benefit them in some way.Ģ)Some people truly do subscribe to all kinds of bullshit.ģ)Perhaps that bullshit is somehow grounded in some real way of affecting human lives.Ĥ)Let's try to rationalize the bullshit into the scientific framework of how we understand physics actually works.ĥ) "oh! I suppose "chakras" and "energies" and "vibrations" are simply useful visualizations that allow the brain to interpret the data that comes to it from the myriad neurons throughout the body."Ħ) "ah, it makes sense now. I am willing to take a 'leap of faith' with WHM as it has been helping me and seems to have helped a lot of people, but where is the science behind it? I have shown them some of the studies that have been done (specifically the 12 person controlled study), they chalk everything up to "expected outcome", basically a placebo effect.
What is your guys take on this? I am a very rational pragmatic person who likes to research things, I go on 'facts' more than 'feelings' most of the time. This process inhibiting inflammatory proteins is B.S. If anything, this method is actually lowing the oxygen in your body which is where some of the weird sensations may come from The oxygen levels in your body/blood can will fluctuate a bit naturally with your breath, but generally speaking yours cell have exactly as much oxygen as they need to do their job.
You are not putting more oxygen into your cells during WHM. They basically said it's all horseshit and that most of the things in this video fly in the face of biology/physiology, specifically : I have a few doctors in my family, and I showed this this video to explain the Wim Hof method to them : I have been doing the WHM for a few weeks now and found it beneficial to me.
