This is actually a religious practice. I can’t remember where, though. These guys will plunge their heads into sand and maintain a certain position for hours (I think I remember seeing a video of someone doing it for 26 hours or something like that).

That is why they don’t do that in mud, air passes through sand, slowly, that is why the need for the preparatory meditation.
