The funny thing is I spend my free time learning as much as I can about consciousness, alterered states of consciousness, the nature of reality, spirtual experiences, all that stuff.

That's how I ended up in a breathwork session.

But I still live in the universe, and the universe follows rules.

In this case, my body's CO2/Oxygen imbalance was out of whack, and I probably should have started breathing into a paper bag.

Consciousness is cool and all, but doing solid breathwork for over 20 minutes will upset the balance of molecules impotrant to a functioning consciousness. So while you may feel yourself soaring toward another dimension, it's your brain screaming for oxygen.

My 2 cents.
