BIO SCI D124 Lecture Notes - Tai Chi, Qigong, Bioenergy
Document Summary
Time series of hrv, bp, respiration, ledf, during deep breathing cycles. Higher blood flow because heart beat faster upon breathing in. Qigong type of breathing: slower to 4-6 times will see effect. Control breathing is cumulative, if do opposite control then its not as good. Qigong not to improve eef or other pattern, but to improve qi. Qi is an ancient abstract term which has no scientific definition. Bioenergy: scientific term for qi, energy you can measure with instruments. Measure temp to a tenth of a degree c. Biophotons: blueish green in color 400-600nm in wavelengths. Energy as electricity, very few photons and electrons. Hand touch glass and sends pulse of electricity that charge up class and gives a electrical potential between the body and glass. + charge then electrons are drawn out of body. Electrons from body hit the air first and get gas discharge. Measure electricity from each point: conductance of the tissue not just the skin.
