Hello, I've read dozens of threads on this topic with many different opinions. Many threads are either detailed but old, or recent but with conflicting information. I know it's a method with everyone having their own sweet spot, but if it were possible to gather some general trends, I think it would be clearer.
What I know, and what seems to be common to the different threads, is:
- Significant pressure from body weight on the internal carotid arteries
- A solid anchor point
- A slipknot According to testimonials, loss of consciousness lasts an average of 20 seconds.
I have four questions:
1) The most effective and least painful body position: a) Standing with knees bent forward. b) Sitting with body and head leaning forward. c) Kneeling on the ground with body and head leaning forward.
2) The rope is placed above the Adam's apple, just below the chin, or below the Adam's apple.
3) Is using socks or fabric between the rope and the neck to increase pressure? Or is it only for reducing pain?
4) Does releasing the body weight with a securely tied knot prevent pressure loss during post-unconsciousness movements related to SI and seizures? Thank you for your answers.
