Community Guidelines
The Guild works because members are careful with each other. Please read these guidelines before posting.
This is a discussion space, not medical care
- The Guild is a community discussion space. It is not medical care, therapy or treatment.

- Do not encourage breath restriction while driving, swimming, diving, operating machinery or in any other unsafe situation.
- Anyone with a health condition or concerning symptoms should seek appropriate qualified medical advice.
