Breathing Techniques Explained
Wim's breathing technique, rooted in tummo, emphasizes cyclic hyperventilation, which increases heart rate and autonomic activation. In contrast, patterns like cyclic sighing promote calmness by lengthening exhales. Caution is advised when combining breath holds with hyperventilation, especially near water, due to the risk of shallow water blackout. For stress management, vigorous inhales boost alertness, while prolonged exhales enhance relaxation.In this clip
