How do elite chess players really burn calories? It's not the brain as much as adrenaline and stress levels: Wim Hof connection

 https://www.livescience.com/burn-calories-brain.html

Elite chess players are under intense pressure that causes stress, which can lead to an elevated heart rate, faster breathing and sweating. Combined, these effects burn calories over time. In addition, elite players must sometimes sit for as much as 8 hours at a time, which can disrupt their regular eating patterns. Energy-loss is also something that stage performers and musicians might experience, since they’re often under high-stress, and have disrupted eating schedules. 

"Keeping your body pumped up for action for long periods of time is very energy demanding,” Messier explained. “If you can’t eat as often or as much as you can or would normally — then you might lose weight.”

So the Wim Hof breathing is proven by scientists to over double the adrenaline levels by first "pumping" as a deep physical mechanism against the kidneys - and at the same time the QUICK FIRE (the Taoist term for Tummo breathing) means the rate of breathing exhales faster than CO2 is created by the body. So that means that when the breath is held after the 30th breath (after exhale) then the vagus nerve in the brain can be activated at a deeper level since the "Diver's Reflex" is not activated (due to the change in the pH).

This then activates the Bohr Reaction that means the oxygen in the blood is driven deeper into the cells to be used directly by the mitochondria.

Now the other key factor is that the mitochondria have a symbiotic feedback via the water molecule with the microtubules of the collagen (the most common protein in the body) and in the neurons.

So the pressure of the breathing is also activating the microtubule energy of the 2nd brain - which in Taoist Neidan alchemy is called the "inner cell" of the Lower Tan Tien - it's where the Yuan Qi or Cosmic Qi energy is stored and also where it manifests out of the pineal gland third eye - and also where it is created via the heart and right side vagus nerve to the right side of the heart.

And so inner ear listening then uses ultrasound to then resonate the microtubules of the brain via the vagus nerve activation as Dr. Andrija Puharich originally discovered - albeit not specifically on the microtubules but rather via organic molecules and the vagus nerve enabling a splitting of the water.

So the microtubules then absorb the virtual photons of the metamaterial tubulins that are a negative frequency and reverse time nonlocal noncommutative protoconsciousness of the Universe as the 5th dimension - and the holographic coherent biophoton energy is then accumulated as the creation of the astral spirit body via this Soul mechanism.

As Dr. Andrija Puharich argued then the soul deep memory storage is via this proton delocalization or the proton spin nonlocality. So that as a proton charge with the electrons it is the yang qi as a positive ion while as the virtual photon spin energy it is the soul memory information in the 5th dimension.

This energy then feeds back into the mitochondria to power the body directly and increase the metabolism to create the heat of the adrenaline energy.

Eventually through advanced training, as Wim Hof admits, he does not need to do the Quick Fire breathing but rather just uses his mind but not as a chess player "thinkers" but rather as an Emptiness or reverse light laser focus into the "Hypertube" or negative frequency and reverse time energy of light itself. So that his spirit is accessing his soul energy directly.

This is also how qigong masters heal ghosts - as the spirit light has incoherent blockages that need to be harmonized back into their hypertube Soul source of the Universe. So as the Tibetan Book of the Dead explains at the moment of death there is a Soul Emptiness Absolute Void experience of Unconditional Love as a deep heart awakening but this light is too bright or too coherent for the spirit due to the spirit of the dead or dying person still having lower frequency subconscious blockages.

So then the red light is the yin qi lower emotional blockages that need to be harmonized into the yang qi of the blue light which then needs to absorb the virtual photon energy of the Yuan Shen or Emptiness that then creates more golden light as new matter in the body or Yang Shen as a soul power energy, or stored up Yuan Jing golden aura. 

Eventually the whole Yuan Jing golden aura is then vaporized back into the formless awareness of the Yuan Qi via the eternal liberation of the body as "Supreme Complete Enlightenment" (the term in Mahayana Buddhism) or the "Fa Shen" as called in Daoist Neidan alchemy.

This is the paradox of the Zen Masters who have achieved eternal liberation of the heart as a deep awakening beyond the third eye being fully open as a qigong master and yet the body still has blockages to be cleared out. The spirit as the soul can still be turned around with each thought and breath back into the Formless Awareness or the Cosmic Yuan Qi whereas to empty out the golden aura body requiring the creation of multiple "yang shen" bodies requires at the same time a spacetime transformation of the external matter being transformed into a spiritual healing of the soul.

In other words the qigong masters to create the golden aura yang shen are relying on healing the yin qi lower frequency red light spirit blockages of the spirits of living persons and beings - and also dead beings as ghosts - as a holographic transformation via the Embodiment of the Emptiness through the 5th dimension Yuan Qi of the Heart as unconditional love energy.

At this point in deep meditation of the Yuan Qi activation then a person will experience the Golden Shen or yang shen materialization of a spiritual master - as Saint Teresa experienced Jesus (she reported it was just the same as the disciples seeing Jesus after his death) or a qigong master experiencing Lao Tzu touching his head or Poonjaji seeing Ramana Maharshi (before meeting him in person) or Yogananda meeting Babaji, etc.

As Ramana Maharshi points out - despite these ultimate spiritual manifestations of the Ishwara - ultimate the eternal formless awareness can not be seen and the Self is not light nor matter (that is made of light) but rather the Self is Mouna or Silence Samadhi, the eternal process of listening as the formless awareness emptiness.

Similarly in the Western tradition it is taught that God can not be seen or a person would not survive, etc. Considering that "Seeing is Believing" in the Western and modern human condition based on external measurements for "replicating" as the truth then this is the ultimate logical paradox that is only resolved through the concept of noncommutative time-frequency energy healing.

As the Tao Te Ching states the Tao is the highest sound that can not be heard - literally the highest external sound we can hear resonates the whole brain as ultrasound that resonates the microtubules with 3000 times the amplitude - the strongest amplitude due to the metamaterial negative frequency of the tubulin resonating the virtual photons as nonlocality.

This process then creates a quantum beat or OM subharmonic of the heart and lower tan t'ien energy as the negative frequency of the future that can be heard - the emitted "backpropagation" energy as momentum (not classical energy density but rather energy intensity from quantum frequency that is noncommutative).

Western science has been fixated on the classical math of even relativity and hence the problem of conjugates relying on symmetric math - so that "phase conjugation" misses the secret of noncommutative time-frequency that is explained by simple yet radical Orthodox Pythagorean and Daoist music - along with the "three gunas of no guna" or the Undifferentiated Triad" as Ramana Maharshi calls it.
