20 minutes?
20 minutes of breath work.
The way it works is very simple.
You create a respiratory alkalosis by breathing off the CO2.
The cell is not able to fill it up so quickly, so the blood becomes alkaline.
When it is alkaline, so alkaline, you don't need to breathe.
There is no breathing trigger because it depends on the amount of CO2.
So the CO2 is a little time absent.
But in that little time of absence, we don't need to breathe because we are alkaline.
It just goes back to the right homeostasis of alkalinity.
And you feel like nice.
Parasympathetic nervous system is on.
but sympathetic as well.
It is quite contradictory of, it's a biohack.
It's an ultimate biohack.
We are able to get into the vagus nerve, into the parasympathetic nervous system, consciously at the same time sympathetic nervous system.
And what now happens, that is the autonomic nervous system.
What happens is we enter into the deep brain because we are not breathing.
where there is the breathing reflex mechanism.
This is in the breath hold.
