Damn. Just had a choking incident with water. This is 3rd time I experienced true choking (no air no noise, everything just freezes and throat closes.
After my throat closed, i relaxed into a meditative state and focused only on getting air. After 30 seconds I could get tiny sips of air through.
I was about to hit my emergency signal on my phone when my daughter heard me - after about 10 mins of slow breathing, my full breath returned.

@holon42 it is. At least the first time it was - first time was worse, took much longer to recover because I was frantically gesturing to my friends for help (wasting energy)
But this time was helped by my meditation practice. No panic, just the wee little breaths until it cleared. π
a kind of spasm? i'm glad you found a way to get through it without panicππΌ
@holon42 me too. I was pleased by that because it shows my my meditation practices are working to assist when needed.
