Xi Breathing Taught by qigong master Robert Peng and Wim Hof training

Qigong master Robert Peng at 36 minutes in - emphasizes the secret of his Shaolin teaching is Xi breathing - which is to only hold the breath AFTER EXHALE. Gee - where have we heard this before? It's also the secret of the Wim Hof teaching method (Tummo Tibetan yoga) and it's also what Master Nan, Huai-chin teaches. As I cite in my science research - holding the breath AFTER EXHALE activates the vagus nerve to store up the qi energy.

Interview with qigong master Robert Peng.

Qigong master Robert Peng says he doesn't like to talk about it since he can't do it but his master could cover his face and then remove his hands and his face would look like a different person! He could change his fascia so then be able to just bend his finger completely backwards...

There has been a regular reader of my research who has achieved amazing results while relying on the Wim Hof breathing technique - i.e. the Xi Breathing!! From qigong master Robert Peng's website:
the Xi breathing has provided such a lovely light of purification and healing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your dedication to sharing your teachings in a manner that is accessible, and with so much thought, care and love.
As qigong master Robert Peng states - without these breathing exercises - then we have SADNESS in our lungs and we need to transform that sadness into JOY.
 During the first time, I had a shoulder injury and could hardly move my right arm for months, but I loved the course and did my best anyway, as I found that the Xi Breathing Mediation reduced the pain remarkably for hours …
Again this makes sense since the vagus nerve activation reduces pain.

So qigong master Robert Peng gets up at 5 am to do 3 hours of qigong. This is similar to qigong master chunyi Lin who gets up around 4 am for 3 hours of qigong.

 Robert Peng's motto is: feel the lower tan-tien as frequently as possible

4) A footnote: PaAuk Saydaw, the Burmese master especially known for mastery and teaching of Jhana practice, mentions (somewhere in the book "The Workings Of  Kamma") that the breath at the nostrils is the 'beginning' of the breath, in the chest (lungs) is the 'middle', and in the lower body ('kidney',in Chinese symbolism) is the 'end'. This is a play on a Buddhist saying (that he invokes regularly) that the Dhamma is good (fruitful, rewarding) at the beginning, through the middle stages, and especially at the end/goal. It also may be taken to symbolize that the anapanna meditation object at the nostrils corresponds to the mind (top dantien), and extends into, is properly rooted in, the middle and lower dantiens.
