Poll of the Day > My ability to withstand both hot and cold temperatures is explainable.

(+) Yeah! (+)

"Not only is every part vitalized by the oxygen, but the act of digestion depends
materially upon a certain amount of oxygenation of the food, and this can be
accomplished only by the oxygen in the blood coming in contact with the food and
producing a certain form of combustion. It is therefore necessary that a proper
supply of oxygen be taken through the lungs. This accounts for the fact that weak
lungs and poor digestion are so often found together. To grasp the full significance
of this statement, one must remember that the entire body receives nourishment
from the food assimilated, and that imperfect assimilation always means an
imperfectly nourished body. Even the lungs themselves depend upon the same
source for nourishment, and if through imperfect breathing the assimilation
becomes imperfect, and the lungs in turn become weakened, they are rendered still less
able to perform their work properly, and so in turn the body becomes further weakened.
Every particle of food and drink must be oxygenated before it can yield us the proper
nourishment, and before the waste products of the system can be reduced to the proper
condition to be eliminated from the system. Lack of sufficient oxygen means imperfect
nutrition, imperfect elimination and imperfect health. Verily, "breath is life."
The combustion arising from the change in the waste products generates heat and
equalizes the temperature of the body. Good breathers are not apt to "take cold," and they
generally have plenty of good warm blood which enables them to resist the changes in the
outer temperature. In addition to the above-mentioned important processes the act of
breathing gives exercise to the internal organs and muscles, which feature is generally
overlooked by the Western writers on the subject, but which the Yogis fully appreciate."

He copy-pasted this from some article and could not be bothered to explain it himself or in his own words. I am not so certain that he even understands what he posted.

Okay, so he copy-pasted this from some pdf and could not be bothered to explain it himself or in his own words. I am not so certain that he even understands what he posted.

Dude I believe in a lot of this kind of stuff too, but the way you post it on here knowing it's open season for ridicule really hurts your case for whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.

If it's benefitted your life in a meaningful way, talk about your personal experiences and explain how this stuff has helped you.

Posting long excerpts from PDFs with no explanation can make you look like a poser and damage your cause(?) to help people. No offense.

That said, yogis do believe regular breathing exercises can heal/prevent many things. Dr. Joe Dispenza's "Becoming Supernatural" is a really cool book that talks about how being present increases coherency levels (aligning chakras, boosts your immune system, corrects your energy centers, etc), and has personally helped me learn to eliminate stress by using modern science illustrations to demonstrate the effects. I don't suffer from chronic stomach aches anymore after practicing meditation.

^ See how easy that is? Way more relatable.

My ability to resist heat and cold is also explainable: I ate the Netsu-Netsu no Mi.
