Headspin

So there's this method of breathing called kapalabati (sp?). Think of it as my kepala batty. Dominique's just started getting us to do it during rehearsals, and basically what happens is that we quite forcefully breathe through our nose, working our diaphragm and thoracic cage. Inhale, stomach outwards and cage downwards; exhale, stomach in and cage up. As big a breath as you can, at your own rate (but I think he's working towards a faster rate if possible) - I'm on an in-and-out per second.

Now what happens is that this creates a lot of pressure in your sinus system. To me, the effect is not unlike having dived a couple of dives. The point of this lau-hei story is that quite a lot of shit has come out of my sinus system in the past few days. Light greenish shit. Yellow shit. I'd show you pictures, but I'm not the kind of guy who takes pictures of snot. It is a LOT of shit. It is therefore irrevocably proven that I'm full of it.


But you already knew that. What's actually mildly interesting about this anecdote is that I normally only get to cleanse out my sinus system once or twice a year, which is usually during the haze times (or whenever our air & weather goes funny) - which is when I suffer from sinus problems that cleanses out after a day of intense pain. Or when I go diving. So now I can do it anytime, any day, and feel funny for a few days (there's still crap coming out now). Merci, Monsieur Le Breathing Specialist.
