Quick Fire Breathing as the Wim Hof Method and the Bohr Effect as asymmetric Proton Gradient yang qi energy build up.

So this dude training in the Wim Hof breathing (tummo) method (vid) realized that at first he was wrongly chest breathing - and the secret was to breath with this diaphragm and bring his belly back into his kidneys.

Maybe he picked that up from me - as I've been advocating that breathing method for the Wim Hof method on youtube comments. But regardless - as I read down the comments I too picked up some good secrets.

When you are hyperventilating you are not hyper oxygenated rather you are becoming hypoxic and hypocarbic which causes constriction of your blood vessels in your brain. If you don’t believe me just test your oxygen saturation during this period. You are becoming euphoric because your body is releasing catecholamines from the hypoxia, most prominent dopamine and epinephrine [adrenaline], to cause the sense of euphoria.

So yes the science states that adrenaline is DOUBLED from the deep breathing - so that comment explains WHY it is doubled. Fascinating.

But there is something deeper going on as well.

I think the chemistry you described is created and enhanced by Bohr effect. By not exhaling fully you retain and build up concentration of CO2 which will make hemoglobin to release O2 from the blood to the cells of your body hence tingling sensation and super oxygenation of the body.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_effect

OK so then when I read the link given....

The Bohr effect enables the body to adapt to changing conditions and makes it possible to supply extra oxygen to tissues that need it the most.

Obviously that is crucial...

So it means you do not develop lactic acid as much - so you have more energy for exercising.

But what else? It is a proton gradient process and we know from Nick Lane that proton gradients are the literal basic substrate of life itself - a proton gradient is yang qi energy!!

 In areas where oxygen concentration is high, such as the lungs, binding of oxygen causes haemoglobin to release protons, which recombine with bicarbonate to eliminate carbon dioxide during exhalation. These opposing protonation and deprotonation reactions occur at an equal rate, resulting in little overall change in blood pH.

 So normally it is a "symmetric" reaction. But the key to storing up the energy is to make it asymmetric - and so the holding of the breath after Exhale then charges up the brain tissues with oxygen also - and the brain with oxygen from increased blood flow to the brain.

the shift in the oxygen dissociation curve caused by changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide or the pH of the environment. Since carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, an increase in CO₂ results in a decrease in blood pH,^[2] resulting in hemoglobin proteins releasing their load of oxygen.

 So Wim Hof consistently claims he is super-charging the body with oxygen from his deep breathing. Science claims he is doing the opposite - increasing his CO2 levels. YES both are correct - the CO2 increase then forces the blood to dump oxygen into the body tissues.

This really helps to explain the secret of tummo breathing as increasing Lung energy - as Metal or Yang Qi energy! So fascinating!! It is really the Bohr Effect!!

Here is a Follow Along Wim Hof practice vid

  OH I just learned the secret of Wim Hof breathing - it's called the Bohr Effect. So you breathe in MORE than you exhale - which builds up your CO2 in your blood . The CO2 turns into carbonic acid thereby forcing the oxygen (alkaline) OUT of your blood into your body TISSUES. So that is how the body gets energized from the oxygen going into the tissues. So the breathing doubles the adrenaline and dopamine by activating the vagus nerve and also the CO2 build up stops the diving reflex to rebreathe. Then retaining the breath after exhale forces the oxygen via blood into the brain. So anyway - it's the tummo Wim Hof breathing is an asymmetric proton gradient aka yang qi (acid/alkaline) compared to normal breathing which is just a symmetric exchange of oxygen-co2 protons. Called Quick Fire breathing in daoist alchemy.

Oh the shen spirit exchange always catches me off guard as it's at the speed of light - shooting out of the eyes. So there is an "after" effect - so light itself does not experience spacetime. So the "Exchange" itself is Nondual - it just "happens" but then AFTER the exchange you become "conscious" that it happens. The Qi is what powers the light - so it's a mini-spacetime shift. It's relativistic quantum biology. haha. Or you could say it's the hidden momentum between the protons and electrons. So the "magnetic moment" of the SPIN is the 5th dimension (think of a slow backwards wobble spin versus the Earth's rotation).
