Great, thanks for trying. It works good in allowing you to extend the amount of time you can hold your dmt in so that you don't waste any like most people do taking quick puffs like they do when they smoke weed or tobaco.

Also try the breathing technique WHILE your are tripping for a heavier effect. like 10-20 seconds after you smoke the dmt

There is nothing psuedoscience about this, go have a look at how bad the media portrays the choking game and you will see how real this is! It has been on prime time news for christ sake warning parents of the dangers of it on their kids.

Countless kids have died from it and you want to call it 'psuedoscience'? that is almost disrespectful to all those parents who have lost so much, now they have people like you claiming that their children died because of 'psuedoscience'.

No, not like wim hof. Wim hof doesn't hold the breath which induces direct dissociation quickly.

In what way is rapid breathing disrespectful to parents of children who choke themselves? Illuminate me.

pranayama exercises in yoga always change my level of awareness and energetic balance. getting high off breathing is ancient tech.

Perhaps some of the people who attest that this method is useful for them can best be of help in creating a practicable description? Otherwise, I don't know what else to say apart from what I have already said. The technique of holding in breath is not my preferred method.


My preferred technique is to calmly take a few deep breaths, with emphasis on reasonably complete exhalations, to increase the availablity of oxygen in the body. Breathing out calmly also helps to relax the body, which in turn helps to calm the mind and dissipate any anticipation stress. On completion of the exhalation, breathing in is done automatically and more rapidly. This is repeated a few times until I feel vibrantly alive, but calm.

Right before the actual toking from the smoalking device, I again exhale fully. Then vapors are gently sucked in, partly into the airways directly, but largely also in the mouth and throat. When sufficient vapor has been generated and taken in, I take a deep breath, immediately pulling the vapors, mixed with fresh air, deep into the lungs.

I try to not hold my breath after inhaling, but instead to keep inhaling slowly. I feel that this causes less pressure on the lungs, the arteries and the psyche. When it becomes uncomfortable to try to further keep inhaling, I gently and slowly exhale, again maximally trying to relax the body while exhaling.

The technique of exhaling before taking in smoke and then inhaling the smoke deep into the lungs with added fresh air used to be what I always did when I still smoked cannabis and tobacco. It is natural for me to do the same with dmt and I have never felt the need to take a second or third hit.


This is in fact an interesting observation.

It isn't? No one ever said it was? What WAS said though, was that in preaching to people that the method of death isn't even true and valid is disrespectful to the loved ones who know that scientifically it is true because it killed their beloved ones.

If your child dies and then someone starts telling you that your child died from something that is an absolute lie, hogwash, balderdash, bullshit, psuedoscience, unverifiable claims on procedures and so forth... you would be offended, anyone would.

That's like having your wife die and then someone come up to you and tell you that she was a witch and probably deserved it... seriously... I thought I was on the DMT-nexus here?

nice to know, glad it works for you. afaik this is not pranayama though and I couldn't find any history on this style of breathing (holding the breath)

I would just like to thank the OP for bringing this to the table here.

I have been doing this in my meditations and trips ever since I found out about it.

All of the few people who posted back with skepticism about this have completely unfounded opinions with no evidence behind what they are saying. They just flat out reject it because they don't like "the idea" of it, which IMO seems very bigoted. It is as if they have a chip on their shoulder about the nature of process or even possibly something irrelevant like the click-bait title and/or are stubborn in their personalities for finding new "scientifically proven" methods of conscious exploration.

From what I can make out from the Wiki page the very short decrease in blood supply to the brain would be enough to dampen and even re-route standard electrical firing patterns within the brain, thereby pushing the brain in to a more "primitive state". As you can see bellow:



Actually, I don't think step 7 wouldn't even occur because if you only held your breath for 5 seconds then you would be breathing straight away thereby utilizing new oxygen. So it is virtually impossible to starve your brain of oxygen here, it is rather the restricted bloodflow's effect on neuronal activity. This is exactly the same as how DMT changes blood flow to certain areas of the brain like Anterior Cingulate Cortex or the vmPFC thereby causing feelings of dissaociation, trippiness, etc.
