Psychedelic freediving

So, I moved on to Wave 3 — that’s 34-40 meter depths, next up is assistant instructor.

Throughout this time I’ve introduced about 20 people to freediving, and I accompanied all of them in parallel, watching how they’re taught, how they’re trained, and so on. I understood what matters and I want to teach from the other end. Starting with mental techniques, which currently begin too late, at Wave 3. The rest — technique — you can train whenever and with whomever.

Why is this needed? Freediving is active meditation, a mental sport, a training system that gives you the ability to escape the mind’s control. If you understand what’s happening and think a certain way, magic happens. Then life starts to unfold at elevated frequencies and RPMs.

We have an excellent setup here — almost everyone immediately starts holding their breath for three minutes and more. The best part is watching people who were afraid of water transform.

And while training breath holds, after 5 minutes I thought — this is a psychedelic experience — and immediately understood: this is mine. Made a little site http://psychedelicfreediving.com and off we go.

Just came back from training and I’m already at https://oltetevshie.ru, going to try it on a live audience.

So, the path to enlightenment through freediving. Two levels of training:

Spiritual — Spiritual freediving. More like underwater meditation. Learning to feel the soul, not fear depth, and relax underwater.

Psychedelic — Psychedelic freediving. Long breath holds and free immersion in open water. No fins, minimal gear, maximum relaxation. One person on a buoy, rest as long as you want, explore your inner space without distraction.

Plus of course briefings before and after — what to think about, what to pay attention to, and how to use new abilities.

I used to hate going down the line — it felt agonizing to me. Turns out I couldn’t relax properly, which raises the difficulty level. After passing 32 meters on a line with fins, I understood how and what to do next.

I wrote to the instructors I especially enjoyed training with, and they all supported me. That’s beautiful.

Freedivers are a special breed of people, and a freediving instructor is a person from another planet. In everyday life you simply won’t see them.

And so from the morning we’re already training breath holds and relaxation. Which I wish for everyone. Proverbs and sayings about never letting your guard down turned out to be yet another layer of illusions.

Try it. Relax harder. Love to all.
