Maslow's Pyramid - Self Actualization?
As a historian Maslow is an interesting read. Especially considering the context when it was written: time when slavery was well institutionalised and abolition was on the horizon. 'One was better than the other', at least in the eyes of those who kept other human bonded. Eduard noted at the end of his talk that it is just a model of understanding, and a tool to use, and can't be used as a definitive model. That we actually move though all of them in a more fluid way. Survival can happen on all levels, and self realization can happen at the level of survival...I would perhaps place Buddha there (although sitting under a tree alone for 7 years, with little tanglement with outside world would do the trick:). Philosophically the eye on the pyramid, can be interpreted as the notion that it sees through the ilussion of the pyramid (its structure is made, and doesn't really exist, except when one believes in it)... It does well as a paradigm... It's interesting to see all of the intends of capturing, structuring, packaging the spiritual realm...I think all understand it is a crucial aspect of a truly fulfilled life...and so it needs to become part of it, I guess...one could argue, when one is spiritually fulfilled, if you need any of the layers at all fully complete, or if the Spiritually fulfilled, could better be placed at the ground level:) I like Eduard 'consultant' approach, and his intend to Structure self improvement in known concepts. Very Interesting talk. Sparked my neurons.

Cold Exposure Challenge
❄️14-Day Cold Exposure Challenge (starts Wed, September 17th) This challenge runs for 14 days (but of course, you can opt in longer!). You will do 3 cold exposure sessions per week. Use the video as guidance: Holohabits – Cold Plunges (Leigh Ewin) ✅ Goals - Build tolerance to cold. - Improve recovery, circulation, mood, and immunity. - Learn how to manage discomfort and adapt with safety. 🔍 Session Structure (Each Cold Exposure Day) 1. Preparation 2. Cold Exposure 3. Post-Exposure Recovery 4. Journal / Notes ⚠️ Safety Guidelines - Do not do cold exposure if you have heart issues, uncontrolled hypertension, or are pregnant (unless cleared by a medical professional). - Never do this alone if using a cold plunge bath. Always have someone nearby. - If you feel severe pain, numbness, or dizziness, stop immediately. - Warm gradually after exposure; avoid hot extremes immediately after cold. 📈 Progress Markers Track these over the 14 days to see growth: - How long can you stay in the cold - How steady your breathing is - How quickly you recover afterward - Changes in mood, energy, sleep, and immune symptoms After each cold session, post in this challenge thread: - “Today was Session X. I felt ___ before, ___ during, ___ after.” - One thing that surprised me was ___. - My goal for next session is ___. Let's do this!

I would suggest 21 days, just to get it in your system 😊🖖
Hyberbaric - Breathing excercises
Seems hyperbaric oxigen Chambers induce physiological effects similar to Wim Hof Method Breathing (low levels oxygen (20-40% oxygen), up to 100% saturațion oxygen...actually James Nestor talks about a (desensitazion of chemoreceptors) doing WHM breathing (carbon dioxide tolerance). We know pH levels in blood (dificult to measure tissue) goes up to 7.8pH...always were înterested to test both to see which one more efective:) Of Course Lead Stress Professor, Elissa Epel, and author of Telemere effect: was super kene to research the WHM, based on het research into oxidative Stress, telemeres + gene expression. I found one sentence especially noteworthy: the the greater the adrenaline spike (hormetic effect) the greater the anti-inflammatory effect. Of Course we know WHM Breathing reduces TNFa 53% and Inflammatory markers 33-50% And many more Numbers Etc. Loved this talk, made me more curious to know if we can compare the natural and tech modality 😊 i think the results would be surprising. Did the hyperbaric (not highest level) ans it was good, but cant compare to a good Breathing seasion (in terms of brain clarity, light, focus).
Sauna protocols
Is sauna part of your longevity protocols and health optimization in general? If not, you should definitely consider it. Those who go to the sauna 4–7 times a week are 63 % less likely to experience cardiac death and 50 % less likely to die from cardiovascular disease compared to those who used it once a week. Higher frequency sauna bathing is also associated with a 40 % reduced risk of all-cause mortality. Learn more about sauna and ice baths from our Heat Alteration webinar in the Classroom section here: https://www.skool.com/hololife-academy/classroom/8898232f?md=46058a60effa462380520a9df1676299 Also, answer this poll below: "How often do you go to the sauna?

Just saw the webinar🖖🙏 Few quick reflections: The body adapts to which is most energy-efficiënt. With Wim Hof, it meant the intercoastal muscles sucking up glucose turning it into energy... That said, muscles also have mitochondria (energy factories), so good to see brown fat, more as 'active' fat, as we also increase the amount of mitochondria with exercise. Regarding cold exposure just before sleep. The standard rationale applies, indeed. However, in practice I have had very busy individuals using it actually to downregulate their extremely Alert mind/body while coming home after long day of work. These were usually CEOs, Individuals with lots of repaonsibilities, needing to 'shock' themselves out of symphatetic mode. So individual is not average. Enjoyed the info, thank you:)
Burnout
Hey everyone! I believe there might be someone or even many of us who have had or is having a burnout. Iv been covering from one about 6months now. So, my question is what are your GO TO routines/healing/foods/supplements/actions etc to support your healing and well being after Burnout? All the insights are very welcome, thanks! 🙏

Holistic herbs and remedies are also extremely helpful. Burnout seems to be mostly induced by mental triggering physical, sites meaning etc good to explore, but also: what environments do not serve anymore? What 'personality' to dump? A lot of rest homeopathic remedies, valeriaan and THC for example are fantastic for sleep and rest. Lavender spray for your pillow, etc yin yoga: slow down, also spectacular... The message is: stop doing what you did 😆
