So I haven\u2019t done one of these in a while, but it\u2019s going to be a short video, and I do mean short. So I\u2019m not going to go too much into the practices, and techniques, etc., that I\u2019m going to mention.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of information available on Google. Plus, I find that so many people want you to spend 90 minutes talking about something that they could do a simple two minute practice and experience themselves. So I don\u2019t want to rob you of the benefit of you\u2019re own findings and muddy the waters.<\/p>\n<p>But I want to talk about three things that I found have a synergistic effect not only with each other but with KAP. And oddly enough they\u2019re pretty popular these days, and they\u2019re considered \u201cdude-bro\u201d practices and I kind of wanted to dispel some of those myths, and talk about an effect that doesn\u2019t often get mentioned unless you really corner someone and kind of make them talk about it because it gets into this sort of woo-woo aspect of it and, you know, these are marketed more as health practices, etc.<\/p>\n<p>So again that\u2019s where they get into sort of the dude-bro things because a lot of body builders and people, health related, people do them.<\/p>\n<p>The first is No-FAP, okay? And specifically the 90-day no PMO rest which is excellent for males. Now for females, you can either do the hard reset, the 90-day you know \u2014 and PMO it means porn, masturbation, orgasm. Again, a lot of females, a lot of women that I know have problems connecting to the orgasm so it might be beneficial more to just cut out the porn aspect if that is becoming&#8230;but if you\u2019re spending too much time, you know, if you\u2019re addicted to masturbation or orgasm, and I\u2019m \u2014 and this is in no way condemning porn, condemning masturbation, etc., etc.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a perfect time and place for everything. But this is if you have a serious addiction to it, sort of, and a lot of us do have that to some degree, you know. So even the questions that I answered before about lust: this is something that can really help, help with you and the good thing about it is if you cut out porn, and this includes something and is connected to something that we tend to do too much these days even when we get into relationships, you know, everything&#8217;s in our head, and so we always, you know, \u201csend nudes,\u201d etc.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s like, why do we do that? Wouldn\u2019t you rather, rather than look at your partners naked body, wouldn\u2019t you rather have that and touch them, and have them experience pleasure along with you. So it\u2019s \u2014 and it goes way beyond even sex. I think a lot of our things these days that we have, I don\u2019t want to say problems, but I will, is because we\u2019re disconnected with reality, you know.<\/p>\n<p>And again, problems is not the right word for it. Um, but it\u2019s we look at these pictures and everything&#8217;s in our heads, and the funny thing about it is this is considered a dude-bro practice but it does, within males, it does tend to bring out the feminine aspect.<\/p>\n<p>David Deida, Mark Manson, several others mention, whether scientific facts or just common knowledge, that men we\u2019re very visual and we tend to think, you know, a lot of it tends to be cerebral and so when you cut out that aspect, where you\u2019re watching and looking, and\/or reading etc. and then having these \u2014 or even if you don\u2019t have that and you\u2019re just having these digital, you know, videos playing your head while you\u2019re frantically trying to get off, then you know that disconnects us from reality and I think it has placement even outside of our sexual expressions. How we elate to our environments. How we relate to people. How we relate to tasks and our goals and etc.<\/p>\n<p>So, and it does tend to harm partnerships. Trust me on this. It really does. The whole instant gratification, consolation prize, with send nudes etc., it just does not work. I mean it can work you know. You can work it. But it\u2019s, it really is a lot easier, especially if you found and, even if you haven\u2019t really realized it yet, but if you go back and take a look at some things that may have damaged past relationships you will probably find that these have some placement within them. Okay?<\/p>\n<p>Again, going through these pretty quick. Fasting, okay? Here are the three protocols you may or may not know, but I\u2019ve done very many fasts over the lat couple of years. I call it nonstop fasting because I go through different fasts, and I try out these different methods every single day.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the ones I found that work best. Dry fasting, but only for 24 hours which is funny because a lot of experts say you\u2019re not technically dry fasted until at least 24 hours. But I do think doing too much over that can hurt you especially if you don\u2019t follow the correct protocol for coming back into being rehydrated etc., you can really damage yourself.<\/p>\n<p>So I found that 24 hours is more than enough to do it especially if you\u2019re taking care of yourself during the other times, and you\u2019re not just eating a shit ton of McDonald&#8217;s, you know, then going into a dry fast. That may not have much of an effect for you.<\/p>\n<p>Intermittent fasting. I call this the Louisiana Tech protocol because the first time I heard about it was on a radio program and they were the ones that were touting this which was funny because it was on a national radio program, and Louisiana Tech\u2019s like 20 minutes away from me. It\u2019s where my brother got his bachelors and masters before going on to his doctorate.<\/p>\n<p>And so it\u2019s the 18-6 protocol. So fasting for 18 hours, eating 6, especially within 8am to 2pm time frame. And I find that really only works if you\u2019re doing a keto or cyclical keto, especially cyclical keto where like say you\u2019re doing keto for six days and then you have a cheat day, etc. And then the other protocol which is one of my favorites and it\u2019s the one that I\u2019ve been doing on a weekly basis later which is a 72 hour plus bone broth fast.<\/p>\n<p>I limit myself to three cups \u2014 and that\u2019s actual measuring cups, about three three and a half cups \u2014 of broth, of bone broth per day. But I do add in a keto coffee with the MCT oil, the grass fed butter and Himalayan pink salt, etc., and organic coffee, or tea. I\u2019ll use matcha sometimes. So roughly my calories are staying within 200 to 350, somewhere around there per day which is not much at all especially for 70 \u2014 more than 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. But these three things \u2014 again the specific things that they tend to work on and these things do get mentioned then later on I\u2019ll talk about the synergistic effect of all of them and the effect that doesn\u2019t get mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>Um Nema, the esoteric writer, N-e-m-a, in one of her books talks about doing a fast and then working on the root chakra, like having food in front of you and then you know fighting. But if you\u2019ve done fasting a lot then you can have food in front of you and its not a big issue.<\/p>\n<p>This is more for people who don\u2019t often fast, and it\u2019s sort of the dealing with these ideas of gimme-gimme-gimme, like \u201cI got to have that,\u201d you know. \u201cIf I don\u2019t eat I\u2019m gonna die.\u201d And has basis within some of the other negative root chakra aspects which is, you know, like not having enough, being insecure, not being rooted etc., which again goes into that whole gimme-gimme-gimme instant gratification that we talked about earlier. So, you know, all of these things are clearing out the chakras.<\/p>\n<p>And you will notice if you do these that they will clear out the chakras. One thing I might not have noticed within the No-Fap \u2014 and again Google search \u2014 the 90 day non PMO, so you don\u2019t watch porn, you don\u2019t masturbate, or orgasm for 90 days. That\u2019s the hard reset. The softer reset is where you can orgasm if you have a partner and you know etc.<\/p>\n<p>But they do say to do the 30 days at least of no orgasming. So it \u2014 we were just coming off of November so that if you if you participate within, you know, \u201cNo Nut November\u201d then, you know it shouldn\u2019t be any\u2014 shouldn\u2019t be hard to do that reset for you.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Um, the last one is cold exposure and especially the Wim Hof method. The Wim Hof breathing, not really Tummo, it often gets labeled as dude-bro Tummo. But if you\u2019ve done actual Tummo practices you will notice that the effects are very differently \u2014 different. Tummo of course, you know, you can feel the fire.<\/p>\n<p>I have literally warmed, it was like below freezing and we didn\u2019t have central heat in our house at that time, the house that I lived in, and literally warmed the room enough where I had to turn off the little space heater that we had, the electric space heater and it stayed warm for the rest of the night. The whole rest of the house freezing cold. That one room was off the charts warm, and that was just from me doing different Tummo practices. But it is, the Wim Hof method, is extremely useful and effective for not only cold exposure, but especially for cold exposure.<\/p>\n<p>That goes along with a five minute cold shower. And you can do a contrast shower like I usually do where you turn it on really warm and you take your regular shower very quickly, you know, you soap off and do all that then you turn all the hot water off and then you just, for five minutes, you do your thing in the cold shower. You just stand there and get hit basically.<\/p>\n<p>This really is useful for getting in touch with our excuses. It\u2019s so easy to make excuses and say \u201cah&#8230; screw that\u201d Our cringing, like our internal cringing, and a lot of solar plexus stuff. Our will. Our striving towards goals. Our running towards pleasure and away from not pleasurable or pain, or whatever, or even just how easy it is for us to give up etc., and other things that I can\u2019t currently think of but later I\u2019ll be like \u201cOh yeah, I should of mentioned that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, you may have noticed these are three old hardcore practices that are usually involved within, you know, some sort of monastic meditation or religious or spiritual path: celibacy, fasting, and some form of austerity or giving up pleasure, you know. Some form of giving up pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>And so they\u2019re very effective. They have synergistic effects with each other, so if you\u2019re going top do them, I would recommend doing them all together if you can be that hardcore. That\u2019s what I do, you know?<\/p>\n<p>And it is, it is hardcore. Trust me. But it is \u2014 sometimes we need to be hardcore with ourselves. But you can do them little bits at a time, you know: whatever works for you, your mentality, your personality, etc. Find some way to incorporate these. Now the effect that doesn\u2019t get mentioned, before I run out of space on my phone, and that\u2019s: being drawn to bad habits.<\/p>\n<p>It has a meditative effect and KAP also has this effect, and so they really work very synergistically with KAP as well and that\u2019s being drawn to bad habits. Again, the Kundalini process, you know, it\u2019s almost as if the blueprint of the mind-body etc. is resetting and so we\u2019re being drawn to certain things, you know. Bad habits that we may not be aware of. Or we may be aware of.<\/p>\n<p>But if we\u2019re aware of them, what\u2019s the source. And so you can tend to find yourself dislocated within a memory and drawn to even a repressed memory, and drawn to something within that memory that is the source of traumas, bad habits, annoying things, you know.<\/p>\n<p>The things that make you slap your head and go \u201cI\u2019m my own worst enemy and why the hell did I do that, etc\u201d as well as, and I think this probably has, especially within fasting and cold exposure, has something to do with the decrease in inflammation, and all three of these things that I mentioned., the effects may have again \u2014<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Video cuts off. Concluded in second video.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>All right, and the last thing I wanted to mention before I got cut off is: muscular armoring. These things are very good at rooting out muscular armoring that may correlate and tie in with the other two things that I mentioned, you know, the held in traumas etc.<\/p>\n<p>But, um, these things that may be holding you back, excuse me, that may be holding you back from whatever it is that you want to do in life. So, literally that was it. I was almost done, and it got cut off, so now, boom. Thank you very much and hope to do another one of these soon.
