I read that suggestion somewhere on OF. I really don't reccomend it in the morning. I'm a smoker & I almost passed out smoking in the morning on my way to the gym. No good. Even if you're not moving, lightheadedness=something wrong. Unless you're a druggie chaote that messes themselves up, anyway.
Druggie chaote? On behalf of druggies and I guess chaotes, I object to that snarky comment.
It seems that so many "body is a temple" types are KOd by such dreadfully commonplace menaces such as salt, sugar and processed flour. Frankly, it is a wonder they made it to adulthood and I don't think they will fair well in apocalyptic times.
I may have my habits, and I may be messed up at times, but experimentation with the body's chemical balance has served to protect me from being felled by a piece of red meat or an unexpected paradigm shift. You would be hard pressed to find a tradition that did not use some substance or physical practice to induce an altered state and it is dismissive to deny the validity of these paths from an apparent state of ignorance.
