The Inversion Therapy and its Effects on Tulpaforcing

[Guest kingfisher]

So, I've had this idea just a few minutes ago, and after using the search tool and finding nothing on the subject, I just had to ask something:

 

Can inversion therapy help with forcing?

 

Inversion therapy is basically positioning yourself upside-down to simulate increased blood flow within the upper body, mainly the brain. Research shows that this certain method helps in easing blood flow within the brain with the help of gravity to decrease the effort needed by the heart to pump blood up to the brain to give it oxygen. Several examples are: using the inversion table; doing headstands/handstands; hanging yourself upside-down, etc.

 

I haven't tried it yet, so I'm asking if anyone has any prior knowledge and/or experience on the subject. Also some feedback would be encouraged.

 

Here are a few questions in my mind right now:

• Is this a good idea?
  
• Could the therapy speed up tulpa creation process?
  
• Could it help in communicating with your tulpa?
  
• Would it be okay to perform the therapy while forcing at the same time?
  
• Would there be any risks of forcing while doing the therapy?
  

 

Also, I think I'm being stupid enough to consider trying a method like this.

I haven't tried this before, but I wouldn't recommend trying to force while doing so. The blood rushing to your head will grant better neural activity, which may lead to easier or more vivid visualizations. I know that you aren't suppose to hang-upside or allow the blood to rush to your head for too long, so doing so while forcing is unadvised.

 

Although, if the increased blood-flow will theoretically improve visualization I would try the inversion therapy prior to forcing. Get the blood flowing in the brain, then try a forcing session.

That actually makes great sense. I just might even implement it into my pre-forcing routine from now on. I'll also try to post results too when I've performed enough sessions to come to a reasonable conclusion. Thanks.

I'm wondering if this shouldn't be a research topic instead. It's not standard practice afaik, so it's maybe something a few of us should test. (I won't. Simply because I don't feel like doing so.)

I used to hang upside down all the time. My record is 23 minutes straight. That shit makes you dizzy, lightheaded, and hurts your brain heaps. I almost pass out. Feels similar to when you have a really really hot shower, then get out really quick into a cold house in winter, and almost pass out. That feeling, but only on your head. Also, you might fall and hurt your head.

It is certainly an idea worth trying. At least Rinzuul's idea of a pre-forcing technique. I'll try this out too as it sounds somewhat promising.

How well would this work for a short meditation session?

 

Say, five minutes of meditating like this, then 10 minutes normal, then beginning forcing?

5 minutes of hanging upside-down wouldn't cause too much strain on the body or head. It also would give the brain an ample amount of oxygen for the neural activity, so you should find meditation afterwords more vivid, or easier to get into that state of mind.

 

I'll definitely have to try this out tonight and post any changes that might of occurred.

[Couguhl]

I haven't thought about that before.

I'll have to test it out.

breathing through your nose also helps to oxygenate your blood so maybe you guys can try that too.
