Please Help Me - Very Strange Holistic Technique!



I'd like some help naming this very strange alternative health technique. I
attended the Omega Institute about 20 years ago and there was this guy there
advocating a very strange exercise. I never got to take his class but the
intro discussion was something like this:

Some doctor/practitioner in Germany (swedish? swiss? somewhere else?)
discovered a technique of contracting your voluntary sphincter muscles (eyes,
mouth, anus) all at the same time over and over (I think it was like, one
contraction per second or two). What this would do, supposedly, is trigger the
brain to continue these contractions and I think it would synchronize with your
involuntary sphincter muscles and perhaps other skelatal muscular contractions.
I think he said you get to experience a full body workout while your mind
disassociates from your body. This supposedly promotes improved physical and
mental health. I think he characterized it as an induced seizure.

I'm not sure about all the facts, but it was definitely a synchronized
voluntary sphincter muscle contraction exercise that caused one to go into some
altered state of consciousness to get a physical workout while somehow freeing
the mind.

Anyone know anything more about this strange modality?

Thanks,
Lou Stein
