DISCLAIMER
Please read this before you practice
Everything on this site is offered for education and contemplative practice. It is not medical or psychological advice, and it is not a treatment for any condition.
THE SHORT VERSION
Pore Breathing teaches a meditation and breathing practice drawn from written spiritual traditions. Nothing offered here diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any disease, and no outcome is promised. We are not doctors, therapists, or licensed health practitioners, and this site is not a substitute for one. If you have a health condition or any doubt at all, talk to a qualified professional before you begin, and keep working with them while you practice.
No medical or health claims
Statements on this site about energy, vitality, calm, clarity, emotional balance, or well-being describe the traditional understanding of the practice and the subjective experience reported by practitioners. They are not medical claims and have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any comparable regulator. No product, book, course, or practice described here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition, and none is a medical device.
Individual experience varies widely. Descriptions of what practitioners feel or report are not typical results, guarantees, or predictions of your own experience.
Not professional advice
Nothing on this site, including the book, the course, articles, videos, audio, emails, and any reply you receive from us, constitutes medical, psychiatric, psychological, therapeutic, nutritional, legal, or financial advice, and no practitioner–client, doctor–patient, or therapeutic relationship is created by using this site or by contacting us.
Never delay, discontinue, or alter prescribed treatment or medication because of something you read or practiced here. Always consult your physician or licensed mental-health professional about your own situation.
Practice safely, and use your judgement
Breathing and meditation practices can produce lightheadedness, tingling, temperature changes, emotional release, or unexpected intensity. Practice seated or lying down, never in water, never while driving or operating machinery, and stop immediately if you feel unwell. Return to normal breathing and rest.
