equanimity is the only measure of sucess

[kohgan]

I am a doctor of Ancient Chinese medicine and am deeply involved in understanding the physioloical process of life, both from a western scienctific perspective and the wholistic view of the east.

I am a recreational scuba and skin diver learning about hypoxia and the mind and bodies respones. I am less drawn to records and measuring depth and more drawn to the power to control anxiety and stress under water and learning to remain calm and equonomus.

I am a vipassanna meditator.

My current goals are to work on understanding the different approaches to pre-dive breathing. Any suggestion on where and how to start would be appreciated.

I just ordered a copy of 'Breatheology' for similar reasons.

The subject you have raised is a fascinating one and one that has taken me also into many strange avenues.I co-operated with Dr Paul Gabbott from Oxford university and his research into the “silent”
areas of the brain , the Dorsolateral and Orbitomedial areas of the Prefrontal Cortex , that he named the Cognitive Executive and the Emotional Exectutrix respectively, and their relationship with the Medula and Pons . In other words Voluntary controls of autonomic functions.
I studied in India with several teachers of Yoga for periods of 6 months and read in the Libraries of Mysore and Dharmasala.I studied the pranayama ,kryias and Bandhas of the Nathas . Like you I also did Vipasana and some Tibetan techniques .
I corresponded with Dr Tatiana V. Serebrovskaya from Kiev her research was at one time the secret of the Russian athletes Olympic success . I studied the research from Stanford University’s Sleep research lab . Also of course Dr Lozanov’s methods of language teaching ,and much more .
I am still learning but the fruits of my weird meanderings have been incorporated into my system mental training for competitive freedivers and seem to work well.

Mr. Solomon
Sorry for the slow response. I would love to discuss these aspects of free-diving more. Please let me know the best way to communicate.
