HOlding your breathe!

[Shoma]

OKay, So i went to the rapids a few months back, and me and my friends always play the "hold your breathe" challenge.

SO as always we get our deep inhales and about to dive, I jokingly, placed up a chakra hand-sign underwater for laughs when they see me but after ii closed my eyes, i cant remember exactly but i repeating something in my head over and over again(something about oxygen).

Then after while, I suddenly get yanked up by my friend, he was yelling was I okay and I was like, "yea, why did you pull me up?'.

He told me that I was down for about 2 minutes! which is amazing to my normal 40 secs.

And the most shocking thing to me was when i went up for air I wasnt deeply gasping for air or anything, one good sigh and I felt normal.

However after that day, I could not duplicate wtf i did.

IT was truly an weird experience.

Explanation?

They train Seals (well the top dogs at least) to hold their breaths for up to 6 minutes. It's possible .

Just curious if it was mental or something i did with my lungs or something, wanna try that again.

May look it up.
