So now I actually think this idea is on to something brilliant. I have been diving into neuroscience lately and this sounds like an amazing experimental method.
It’s like non-surgically transplanting your eyes into your hips. Why do that? To further refine brain-body mapping.
We turn our head instinctively to aid vision. Once our brain realizes that visual input improves only when we move our hips, body awareness will shift significantly.

The hips do not lie. Ipso facto, you would be seeing ultimate truth.
It turns out that the meaning of life is at crotch level.

Yes, but I think OP’s point is those 5-6 crab-events all came from a narrow taxonomic group. All plant families have some trees. Only one sub-group of animals contains crabs.
It is as if all trees only came from members of the lily family.

If a person can moderate, I would call it a bad habit and not an addiction. To me, the inability to moderate is what makes it an addiction in the first place.

It’s very nice to find someone else who is deeply concerned about the problem of recursive homunculi.
Why is no one else talking about this? Can’t they see the danger we are all in?

I knew one of those homeless people that somewhat chose that life in Seattle. His name was Terry. We saw him frequently and would invite him to gatherings. Always a perfect gentleman.
He went through kind of a nasty divorce in his 40s and then about when he turned 50, his work van got stolen, which contained all of the tools of his livelihood. He told us that he decided he just wouldn’t play the game anymore. It was sort of a conscious renunciation as his only defense against total despair. This man was so sane it breaks my heart to remember him.
He had no people. A few years later we received a call from the county coroner, my girlfriends phone number was the only contact info he had on him, he still had the paper she had written it on for him. He had died on a rail embankment he walked to get to his encampment.
Terry always kept it real.

Don’t think of this as weird, it’s a huge flex. May I also point out that she has people on her team? This is not a one-person hairdo.
- Comment on Is it weird to juggle in the park? 2 weeks ago:
It won’t work on all people, but it will work for the right people!
I mean, if a person has the urge to juggle in public, it means they want to be seen and maybe connect with randos over it.
That’s wholesome AF

Yes, it is.
Do it anyway.

Yes that’s the method. It’s improperly called yoga nidra, but the correct term for the method is Nadi Shodhana Pranayama.
I’m not exactly sure what you mean. You describe the method that is used. One holds their own hand to the face with the nose between thumb and index finger. On alternate breath cycles, you direct the breath through alternating sides.
Did I understand your question correctly?

Do you mean the syndrome that causes lightheadedness when standing up?
I found a 2021 research article that shows 6 months of regular cardiovascular exercise improves the condition. Some forms of physical yoga practice are vigorous and get into the cardio range.
I can’t find yoga-specific studies on POTS, but there are many on other conditions that include dizziness and syncope as main symptoms. That’s what a quick google scholar search revealed.
Yoga emphasizes attention and breath awareness during the movement practices. I personally have a job that requires a lot of stooping and standing. At first I was often dizzy standing up, but as my practice has intensified and progressed that has gone away completely.
I don’t know, if your physician clears you for the activity, there are many benefits to it. Maybe worth a deeper look?
And as for general awareness, hell yes. That is the entire focus of yoga philosophy, to quiet the busy mind. The scientific studies on that are plentiful.

I’m in a yoga teacher training at the moment, and a biologist by training. It’s been amazing seeing how the different yogic breathing techniques impact mental and physical states.
Those crazy folks in the Indus valley civilization made a serious study of this, at least 4,000 years ago according to current evidence. Some techniques, like yiga nidra (alternate nostril breathing for several minutes) have significant impacts on nervous system function.
You can measure this directly with a cheap heart rate monitor and an app that can interpret and returns stats on heart rate variability.
Those old yogis made a study out of exploiting our brain’s dependence on oxygen and developed some pretty cool biohacks.
