How to do the method:
- Sit comfortably in an upright position with your back straight. Contract tightly all the muscles you would use when holding in your urine. This means contraction the sphincter muscles, or the perineum as tight as possible.
- Contract as long as you feel comfortable and watch your heart rate go up on your monitor by around 20-30 BPM. When you relax, you will then observe a drop in heart rate even below your normal resting heart rate for a few minutes as your nervous system has a reset.
- If you hold your breath in while you contract your muscles it will enhance the effect and you will also feel a rise in body temperature.
