Hi Dannyor,
Thanks for sharing your observations and sensations of your practice with the different exercises. I feel it will help me to understand the human body better and I'm also pleased to know that my video is giving positive feelings to others.
On your sensations. I did get tinglings a few times in the past, but I don't recall dizzyness. I'm wondering what it may be. I suspect having a lot of CO2 in the blood, thanks to the 7x60 seconds with short - low ventilation - intervals. But CO2 would be a bit more like being drunk, with a trailing sense of balance and slower thoughts. I'm interested to know weather this happens more and how your preparation was, including things like food, water and rest. Do you experience the same 'dissyness' the same when you do a long and challenging CO2 table?
If the relaxation remains so long present, enjoy it!
Maybe, in order to get technique and other parts in start with the active stuff and finish with the relaxation parts?
You can always take some beverage with you to hype yourself up for the active part. Taking a suit off and jumping in colder water also helps to wake up
But indeed if you did a long dive and used all your buffers for that, than you're body is done for the day. I'm sure you begin to see the value of the "no warm up" approach
What you also can do after the FRC stuff is drink some apple juice and lay down somewhere warm with the legs a bit up and recover for 5-10 minutes, eyes closed.
Love, Courage and Water,
Kars

Hi Guys!
Following suggested threads led me to Kars video on exhale diving. Tried it in the pool this morning. This is so awesome! Connor, I followed your advice and started with 7x60 sec FRC. My body got more and more relaxed (That is the first 60 sec were tough at the end and the last ones were very relaxed). After that I was very relaxed and tried to do 'frog flow' like Kars. This is the direction I'm looking for. After ~2:40 the sensations of the body changed, I started to feel tinglings all over, And then I started to feel a bit dizzy (no contractions though) and remembered your warnings that the body signs change and got myself out.
Also I experienced my trachea get squished as you told me. I guess this will get better with practice.
I attempted my planned swimming session afterwards and thought the body would get out of this state. After 200m swim I understood that swimming and this state of relaxation do not mix well. 3 hours have passed since and I still feel the effect of it.
Thanks a lot ...
