  Learn how Hyperbolic Oxygen Therapy HOBT help Anti Aging

HBOT Anti Aging process resemble regeneration of missing limb phenomena in spring lizard

• Fast increase blood oxygen concentration of oxygen followed by a fast decrease to generate stem cells, this is the trigger
• Besides stem cells the Nutrient & higher oxygen concentration is required
• The rejuvenation will include angiogenesis of blood vessels 

Many of these ability comes from the direction by our all powerful brain

• cosumue 15% cardio ouput
• consume 20% of our oxygen
• consume 25% of glucose needs
• Morever we only use 2 ~ 5 % of our brain because there is not enough oxygen supply to operate fully.

By effective Qi flow we help to repair brain cells as in embroyic times to build 

1. Brain vocal area: repair speech ability
   
2. Brain Motor area:  repair motor function eg hand & legs movements
   
3. Brain cognitive area:  repair memory ability
   
4. General brain aging is due to recluded brain blood vessel that need to be repaired to increase brain blood flow
   
5. Rejuvenate blood flow to other organs such as kidney penis bone, skin &  heart muscle
   
   

    7 ways to stimulate your Vagus nerve & optimize its tone 

The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood working pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric.

Your sympathetic nervous system is best known for its role in responding to dangerous or stressful situations. In these situations, your sympathetic nervous system activates to speed up your heart rate, deliver more blood to areas of your body that need more oxygen or other responses to help your get out of danger.

The parasympathetic nervous system predominates in quiet “rest and digest” conditions while the sympathetic nervous system drives the “fight or flight” response in stressful situations. The main purpose of the PNS is to conserve energy to be used later and to regulate bodily functions like digestion and urination.

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a large division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that can control gastrointestinal behaviour independently of central nervous system (CNS) input. Mammalian neurons are located in either the CNS (brain and spinal cord) or PNS (cells with soma outside the brain and spinal cord)

If your brain effectively connects to body via vagus nerve, this is called vagal tone.

Vagal tone is a measure of cardiovascular function that facilitates adaptive responses to environmental challenge.

Low vagal tone is associated with poor emotional and attentional regulation in children and has been conceptualized as a marker of sensitivity to stress aim for parasympathetic state High vagal tone means a higher capacity for stress, change, and challenge and a higher capacity for rest, recharge, and recovery.

A good vagal tone

1. fight diease
   
2. have anti-aging effect
3. alertness awareness
   
4. greater creativity productivity

Some new understanding of our brain

1. Brain is always working even when we are at rest
   
2. There is a great Neura Plasticity:  
   defined as the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections after injuries, such as a stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI)

The changes include

• chemical changes ie Short term
  
• structural changes ie Long term
  
• functional changes eg excitable team work of various of the brain

Take note that our all powerful brain

• cosumue 15% cardio ouput
• consume 20% of our oxygen
• consume 25% of glucose needs
• Morever we only use 2 ~ 5 % of our brain because there is not enough oxygen supply for its full operation.

2 Pre-Conditions to fully benefit from Core Process (Learn this at Kick Start)

 Learn to tolerate CO² in your blood: This ability makes your breathing slow without urge to breathe hard

 Use 3F Focus, Feel & Follow your wavelike pulsating Qi inside your body; drive it from 丹田 as in embryoic breathing. 

  .3F.  Focus (See  Inside) , Feel & Follow 'Qi' at navel   守 '丹田' .. embryobreathing

How to understand "Follow"? 

Once you become fully mindful of yourself, we can feel the Qi moving in all parts of your body.  Pick any part to focus on the Qi and follow its continuous forceful force of motion .. gently follow the motion to be in union with yourself.  
Follow comes together with Feel & Focus as a .3F group. 

Passed to do Core Process?

1. Mindfull of Values to have peace & happiness
2. No more urge for hard lung breathe, only do slow diaphragm breathing or navel breathing
3. Can feel, focus & sync with Qi wave by looking inside
4. With all these activities, your mind has no time to wonder.
   
   Our mind is wired to resonate harmonically & rhythmically with our inner psyche particularly in our humility, compassion, equanimity to music.   
   Do open your reflective mind allowing it to flow & glow with the rhythm & harmonious musical cascades to attain peace & tranquility. With music  you will be very happily busy.

You may divide the whole process into 4 parts.

 In line with  meditation Big Picture start with mind Focus 守 at your DanTian 丹田to do Embryo Breathing by Feeling & Following your Body Breathing Wave Movement.  

 Visualization of yourself as embryo in mother's womb help to bond with your mum who had unconditionally nourished & care for you for 9 months.  Think about your mum's fear of pain and her relief when you are delivered wholesome.
This bonding will create good peaceful feelings in your mind.

  Take a moment in this phase to hold your breath for one minute or more to benefit from hypoxia to build stems cells.

Start to hold breath by using 3F focusing fully at inner self avoiding your lung attention. Moving mind focus throughout the body especially to your extremities with 3F is a sure way. With patience practice you will sync with your core meridian pulsating wavelike very slowly & forcefully as if you are all about your inner core whenever you are calm; that's Nirvana Transcendental Meditation

 Do this breath hold ASAP as it is the gateway  to bond with your inner core, once started gate remains open for the whole session.

  Next move attention focus to the top of your brain which is one of the acuputure points.  

 This is the start of the circulation round your meridians following 小大周天.  Take your time to decide which point is important to you. 

 Perhaps you may consider to move towards your extremities like the tip of your toes or bottom of your feet.

  Continue to move your mind or brain focus attention from organ to organ using the Parasympathetic system.   Continue to shutter your focus between each organ and your lighted up brain to build the vegal communication tone.

If brain has good connection to body organs via this vagus nerve  system then it is said your Vagal tone  is good. 
Vagal tone is a measure of cardiovascular function that facilitates adaptive responses to environmental challenge.

Low vagal tone is associated with poor emotional and attentional regulation.

  High vagal tone means a higher capacity to manage stress, changes, and challenge and also a higher capacity for rest, recharge, and recovery to
fight diease

• have anti-Aging effect
• have greater alertness & awareness
• have greater creativity & productivity

  Start with looking at the light in your brain, next let the brain  communicate with body parts.  Extend breath hold with calmness using 3F process moving around the body parts.  Holding breath will extend over 1 or 2 minutes after weeks of practice.

  At each organ mind focus on it by slow gentle body 3F breathing for about 5 - 10 secs to feel the Qi flow in the organ. 

  The one round over all important organs from top to bottom of body can up to 20 minutes.  If you do four rounds of this communication focus between your brain and organs it will take a total of about 80 minutes ie my experience.

  It is good to end the 80 minutes meditation session by releasing your Qi with your feet flat feeling the ground.

   Some people describe this whole core process as Transcendental Meditation (transcend mindfulness ie passively follow your inner self using any mantra).

Following are brain conditioning actions you can do to further calm yourself & unite yourself and ultimately with Universe or Nirvana

1. Tell your heart to slow down and body to be calm 平心静身静气.
2. Relax your breathing to shallow using the body wave, avoid using your lungs tp breathe.  When ever you exhale do it very slowly 静气. 
3. Mentally repeat Chinese phrase that underline human on values eg 天时地利人和 or 大其心容天下之物  & other any other mantra that you like  "Om",  "Om mani padme hum". 

Kick Start Step:     Slow 50 x (Breathe In/Out)       + 1+ min Hold
   (Repeat this set of 2 Four times)

 Use this audio  to help you time your breathing & holding.

Kick start is just to get started, thereafter just follow the Core Process.

• The 50 x In-Out breathing help to bring your wondering mind ie your conscious awareness to present moment, some call this Mindful Meditation.
• Use your  丹田 (not your lung) to direct the slow Breathe In/Out

• The 1+ minute Hold  is very useful & important as it train your body to tolerate carbon dioxide CO² in your blood. This  creates slow & gentle breathing and cut the cause of rapid / heavy breathing.
• This Hold actually train your Autonomic Nervous System to accept a higher concentration of CO².  
  
• This means your start to log-in to Body Breathing of Qi which is felt like gentle wave pulsation throughout the whole body. You will also feel some tension in your head & forehead.
• If holding breath creates a strong urge to breathe in, directing your attention to your extremities of your limbs can help to rellef the urge eg to the tip of your toes. 
• Start to hold breath by using 3F focusing fully at inner self avoiding your lung attention. Moving mind focus throughout the body especially to your extremities with 3F is a sure way.
  With patience practice you will sync with your core meridian pulsating wavelike very slowly & forcefully as if you are all about your inner core whenever you are calm; that's Nirvana Transcendental Meditation
• You can also use Android App: Oxygen Advantage to train your ability to hold your breath longer.

   Two useful source of knowledge to better understand what we are doing.

   •   Learn about Breathing to heal
   • Learn about Resistive breathing tolerant to CO² to transfer oxygen from blood to cells.

    

• Consist of Blood, Lymphatic fluid & electrical Nerve impulses;  not just blood alone.  It is not the air we breathe into our lungs.
• It moves through all the body from bone marrow, to body tissues, organs, in fact to all parts of our body
• Yogist state that Qi flows through the meridian crossing acuputure points all over the body in circles 小大周天
• Qi movement is Body Breathing is centered at DanTian 丹田 with diaphragm movement as the engine.
• Qi manifest   1. at surface or skin level manifest as itch;    2. in the head your feel some tension that can move your ears    3. in your limbs you can feel its passage through it.
• In the beginning you may feel some blockage in the Qi flow particularly at the head.  By being very calm & relax and more practice you can achieve a free flow as if the meridians are expanded.

• It can be felt as tingling or swelling sensation, occasional itch, chill or twitch in our body.
• Sweet saliva 玉液还丹  will form from time to time (slowly feel it flow down to your 丹田 .. a inch inside below naval.
• It can be felt as a resistance or inner force in your body that go against the auto brain control on the need to breathe.  The resistance comes from the fact the Body breathing is linked from top of head to low torso.
• It can feel you have a top to extremities (fingers & toes) linked tidal wave swelling & pulsating slowly in your whole body.
• It can be also be felt as balloon filled with energy within your body, you feel light like feather.
• You can also feel the Qi moving your ears and sinuses in your skull as it flow
• Overall, you may think of it as flow of blood or energy that you can see within yourself as a source of light.

Log-In to your Qi to take over the auto brain control breathing to attain Nirvana.

Nature of Body Breathing

• It is movement of Qi from top head to feet with internal body sensation such warm ball or Wave pulsation with particular tension in the head around your ears & forehead (3rd eye)
• Body Breathing is induced & linked to Diaphragm movement.  Look inside to feel your slow pulsating calm Qi with   as power house to drive your Body Breathing.  Thus there is a sensation of the head being linked up to the lower torso whenever your body breathe.
• As the Qi is a continous loop throughout the whole torso up to the head, when Qi flow you can feel tension all along its path from head to toes.
• The continous connected Qi loop is most evident during Breathe Holding / Hypoxia and Focus 守 on 丹田
• Look inside, feel the body; do deep relaxation (similar to slow exhaling) to open up the meridians to relieve tension.
• Unlike Lung Breathing which is either controlled by the Auto system of the Brain or a concious function of the brain, Qi Breathing is control by the sub concious nervous system of the body which takes effect when one is very queit and calm. 
• Switching to Body Breathing from lung breathing you can hold your breath longer. This is more evident if you can keep the lung breathing urge aside.
• Body breathing will automatically induce air flow in and out of your lungs with no concious control.

Importance in holding your breath   

• Help to shift  Lung Breathing to Body or Qi Breathing.
• It induce Hypoxia (key to anti Aging)  Learn  relationship between Hypoxia and Longitivity
• 3 instances of Breath Holding in step 1 Rapid Breathing: I.2, 1.3 & 1.4 in table above

 Significance of temporary Hypoxia (lack of oxygen in blood)

•  key to efficient epigenome functions which In turn prevent shortening of telomere & maintain stem cells efficiency thus help to reverse aging

State of Nirvana 极乐世界 = Work Out 练功

• By proper use of Hypoxia in Step 1 (Holding Breath phase), presence of Qi will be evident in your body through practise    With presence of Qi you can log-in your mind to the flow from the generated Body Breathing Wave (as against the normal Lung Breathing).
• Ultimately stay in the transcendent state, Buddhism called Nirvana 极乐世界:  you focus on FEELING your body breathing that comes with a sensation of peacefull floating, revolving & expanding in unison with the universe.
• The more your mind is void & relax 平心静身静气, the deeper you get into your Nirvana, your induced lung Breathing in this state is relax, shallow & unconcious.  Feel & follow peacefully the Body Breathing Flow   (Ignore the Lung Breathing urge if any)
• What will be the ultimate outcome in Nirvana?  Some believe the soul will be able to travel outside, this is the mystical part of the transcendent state.  The real physical happening is you feel your breathing becomes stronger; its depth & frequency is controlled unconsciously. 

 What is the meaning of life?  You will learn life's meaning during Meditation.

As life is given to us, we MUST make full use of life, benefit from it & not waste it; here are the steps.

1. First step to appreciate life is to know you Exist ie be mindful of your existence 活着一口气.  Begin with being mindful of every beat of our heart and breath.  You can practice to be mindful by feeling and following each breath in & out while being calm in mindful meditation with right mindset eg 修身 天时地利人和
2. Next be mindful of the feeling inside you.  Do you feel joy and happiness with yourself when you sit calmly & look inward.  Let this feeling drive your everyday life to have a meaningful passage filled with fulfilment.  With this core value you will see & enjoy positively the beauty of everything & every event around you.
3. Also mediate on good values such as caring 善, humility 虚 & be thankful 感恩; reflect on your life experience to match these values.  These values will drive your everyday life to greater heights of meaning.
4. You will also encounter both positive and negative feelings as you go through life 喜怒忧思悲恐惊.  Make use of your built up calmness to resolve the negatives.  Always look for positives and avoid meaningless worries.
5. Avoid punitive thoughts & rules or teaching  Believe you are born free without sin. You don't have to punish yourself to be "saved"; just like water follow the flow of things & be happy 天时地利人和.
6. As you progress to be fully mindful of your physical and emotional being, you can transcend from mindfulness to voidness (2nd meditation step herein).  In this transciendental state you can sense you are a part of the ever expanding & revolving universe as you go about your very gentle shallow breathing.  During transcendental state, feel you are together with good people and spirit.   跟好凡人和仙人同在
7. Make use of your developed Chi from meditation that constantly flow through your body's meridian channel to stay healthy. Foundation for a meaningful life comes from being healthy.  Longitivity is 80% about your life style governed by peaceful & calm mind engaging in an active life.
8. With a healthy body and sound mind you will have plenty to do and occupy your life.  This include learning about history of human behaviour and follow all world events plus engage in new things eg mobile phone.  You will thus live & learn endlessly 活到老学到老
9. With all these, you will have a fruitful life with people around you 修身，齐家，治国，平天下
10. As to subject of after-life as the purpose of life, one has to start with living now correctly, meaningfully and fully to be able to develop for thereafter.  Meditation will open the path most suited for you, don't be forced into any particular teaching.

1. Lie down with hands on your chest;  relax, you can also spread out your hands and legs.  Another way is to sit in any relax way, no special leg folding is required.   Just be calm & avoid thinking by focusing in breathing.
2. Be aware of your organs, stay at each for a while: diaphragrm, lung, heart, liver, spleen, intestine.
3. Focus your mind on your 丹田, feel the Body Breathing Qi wavelike pulsating, moving & flowing in your body.  Also place your tongue gently on your palate.
4. You can focus on feeling your Body Breathing movement to get in know your Qi. 
5. To get in to focus on your Qi you can repeat 平心静身静气 or the mantra 'Om', the sound of the universe.
6. Try to unite with the ever expanding universe; you may then see moving light in your head.

• Qi is created by being queit & by gentle body breathing, this way air in lung is converted to Qi
• Qi is moved by gentle small diaphragm movement aided with Will.  Breathing out, ie diaghragm moving up; together with Will, is more effective in pushing Qi around your body 
• In order to be gentle and queit, think and be thankful to plants showing you their beautiful & colourful flowers.  In return you wish peace to all mankind.  Actually the Qi is YOU.
• One of the manifestation of Qi flow is the flow in your head and the flow through your feet. 
  The Qi flow in your head is most significant especially near your ears because of the huge number of vessels serving our head. 
  On the other hand the flow through the feet is smooth.
• With Qi present, your air breathing can be very little like animals during winter hiberation
• The ultimate state is a freely flowing Qi that you can Will to be aware to follow. 
  Your free flowing Qi makes you feel you are very light that can float. 
  In this state you have clear passage through meridians.
• Whenever you breathe, always breathe out much slower than breathing in.  Also always look inside concious of all your inner organs.
