The actual meaning of "yoga" is "a way for people to control their mental and physical functions". Through meditation and breathing exercises, they can achieve physical and mental purity and harmony with the outside world. This is no different from the three elements of Qigong: relaxing muscles, staying in the abdomen and abdominal breathing.
Indian yoga can also make people exercise and get rid of diseases, which is similar to what we call "internal practice"; At the same time, he can create "unique skills" to control his own functions, the most famous of which is the "killing the game" experiment.
According to records, in 1968, a yogi and a qigong practitioner, * * *, conducted an experiment of "burial", also called "living in a tomb". The experimenter connected some parts of their bodies with instruments. Two subjects sat in the hole and buried the hole with soil. The observation began.
This kind of experiment looks scary, and buried alive is like this. Experience tells people that buried alive is to isolate people from the air with soil, thus suffocating the buried people. The key to "living in the grave" is the word "alive". The experimenters all know that the people in the pit have "unique skills". Generally speaking, there will be no accidents, but I dare not take it lightly, and I dare not blink my eyes and stare at the instrument uniformly.
Time passed slowly, and a slow heartbeat signal appeared on the instrument. It wasn't an accident, was it? No, there is still a big difference between this slow heartbeat and a sudden stop. It seems to be a conscious adjustment, gradually adjusting to close to the stop loss. Let's take a look at the body temperature, which shows that it gradually drops from 37.2℃ to 34.8℃, which is quite like animal hibernation. In this way, the people outside the pit waited 18 hours and dug the pit. Fortunately, the two people in the pit are still alive. Two hours later, their heartbeat and body temperature returned to normal, and everything was normal.
This is a fact that common sense cannot explain. Many people have studied this, and they understand it this way: First, yoga can enable trainers to acquire the ability to "hibernate" like animals.
In winter, many animals will go into a long dormant state without eating or drinking until next spring. Why is it that when spring comes, hibernation will be interrupted and they will come back to life like plants? Studies have shown that animals will maintain a constant "sleepless point" in their brains during hibernation. Although metabolism drops sharply and body temperature drops sharply, the "sleepless point" remains unchanged. Once the external environment changes, you can wake up quickly. When yoga is practiced to perfection, you can hibernate. The difference is that practitioners can quickly go into hibernation without seasonal changes, relying on "meditation", "meditation" and "breathing adjustment". In the experiment of "living in the grave", we can see that people in the pit have a slow heartbeat and a low body temperature, but their brain consciousness is in a state of sleepless concentration under certain self-control, so they will not faint and die.
Secondly, yoga can reduce the oxygen consumption and metabolism of trainers. This is another key to their being buried alive.
