Breathing Techniques, Wi
Breathing techniques like Wim Hof, also known as Tummo breathing, involve cyclic hyperventilation which affects the heart rate. Through vigorous inhales and exhales, the heart rate increases or decreases respectively. Different breathing patterns, such as box breathing, maintain an even heart rate. Wim Hof breathing should be done cautiously, avoiding combining cyclic hyperventilation with breath holds near water to prevent shallow water blackout. Adjusting breathing patterns can help increase alertness or induce calmness.
