I could be completely wrong but I do believe he practiced breathing techniques, or at least is making a reference to them in Third Eye; there's quite a segment where he's constantly saying in, out, in, out, in, out with some sounds that almost make you 'want' to breath heavy. I've personally always felt that's exactly what that part is about, even though it's layered with the hallucinogen references....then again, he's been quoted as saying that it's not wrong to necessarily take a drug to get to that frame of mind but the whole point is to try learning to get there again without the use of the drug...which from what I understand, can be done with meditation and breathing techniques.
