Hey, /x/. Is it possible for a monk or those who practice deep meditation to meditate themselves to death? I'm not talking about starvation or anything, but focusing on the death of yourself so much you actually die? I'm not wanting to attempt it, just curious on how far the power of meditation and focus can go. I know that you can turn off the feeling of pain at least.

not sure if this answers your question, but

I can focus myself to drop my heart rate to 18 bpm, and hold my breath for 4 mins, so I don't see why not.

There is not a fucking chance in this world that this is true. And I hope that you find a better use of your time instead of making such moronic claims that even a high schooler Can identify it is a lie.

Free diving, brah. There are breathing techniques that help you stay underwater for prolonged periods of time, most of which include a method to slow down the bloodflow to save up on oxygen.

Fine, I'll bite. How? I don't have any measuring instruments with me so I could stream myself getting to 18 bpms, and you can't come over to keep a finger on my wrist to see for yourself

Don't worry, there's multiple documented cases of this.

They are just ignorant.

Buddhist monks mummify themselves, look for it, is fascinating.

Well, prove it. It might not be the most accurate thing but it's something.

>>17718349
Do you understand what this guy is claiming? 18bpm. EIGHTEEN.

>claims that even a high schooler Can identify it is a lie.

I actually learned in my high school psychology class that you can slow your heart rate and lower your blood pressure by focusing on them. In fact, I've been using this method this whole week to get rid of muscle twitches. I was tensing my muscles unconsciously, which was making them twitch as I fell asleep at night. So all week I've been focusing on relaxing those muscles. It's difficult (more difficult than it sounds), but I've seen a definite improvement.

Right now, I'm on 37 and I'm smoking a cig after a powerwalk.
No, I don't want media attention, so that's out of the question. If you can get to Zagreb, Croatia, I'll demonstrate it in private. Otherwise, stop bugging me.

More like ONLY a high schooler would be ignorant enough to assume it has to be a lie.
>>
>>17717896
Doesn't work. Just leads to astral projection. This is the first thing the old monks tried when they realized life was a shit and started toying with it.

Why haven't you used the app yet?

>>17718324
Okay i now know you are bullshitting.
The reason why people need to breath in/breath out is due to carbon dioxide, if it stays enough into our bodies it starts to turn into acid, which is why you need to breathe out. Diving deep has little to do with oxygen and much to do with carbion dioxide.

Have tried to slow my heart rate by concentrating on it. Made progress, got scared and stopped.
>>
>>17717914
I tried one of the most basic exercises to hold my breath and I was able to break the 3 minute mark on my first few attempts, I'm sure 4min is also not that difficult
>>
>>17717914
OP here, don't worry. I'll take your word for it.
