What we call Emergent modalities covers a wide range of different practices and approaches, which we list here according to their level and target.
Individual level
Breathing exercises
Note that breathing exercises can be dangerous and contraindicated for individuals with certain conditions such as neurological or cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy, mental health issues, and more.[1] This is especially the case of more forceful approaches, in particular when combined with e.g. cold water immersion, as in the case of the Wim Hof Method. Please consult with a doctor before you engage in such practices.

Individual practices involving mostly mental activities
Recently, some authors have proposed that an efficient alternative when attempting to characterize specific practice styles, is to let go their cultural embedding and type, and instead describe the actual internal gestures and their sequence involved, using a repertoire of structural terms, specifically: "Observe", "Release", "Stay Open", "Let Go", "Focus", "Apply", "Sustain", "Produce", "Imagine", "Create", "Prolong", "Move", "Place", "Maintain", — which can involve and infinite number of possible objects or subjects of "meditation" — which can then form a gestural "score" of sorts.[2] This is a promising approach, yet, for our present purposes we will mention a few common types of such practices.
