> Also, it kinda sounds like advertising for this breathing method mentioned, but the website doesn't explain the breathing method, just tries to sell it to you then refer you to a practitioner.
I briefly looked into it and got the same vibe from Transcendental Meditation, that it’s mostly a scam. They take a very basic practice and convince you it has miraculous results and that it is impossible to learn except by paying them obscene amounts of money.
I never paid for or practiced either method, so I cannot give a first-hand account. But years ago I did look into Transcendental Meditation extensively and was not convinced it has anything worth paying for, as confirmed by multiple accounts of people who had tried it. The documentary David Want to Fly is particularly interesting from the perspective of someone who really wanted to like it by influence of David Lynch.
I first heard of Buteyko from this post so I haven’t done thorough research, but a cursory glance reveals the health claims may be greatly exaggerated.
