How is the shift in oxygen and carbon dioxide ratio related to the awakening of kundalini?

outcome
"When the balance of oxygen tilts in your favor, the sleeping energies within you awaken, and the kundalini stirs, propelling you toward a higher state of consciousness."
According to Osho, the body contains forces of life (oxygen/prana) and inertia (carbon dioxide). When the inner ratio tilts toward oxygen—via pranayama or bhastrika—sleeping energies awaken and kundalini is stirred; when carbon predominates (as at night), tamas and sleepiness increase. Raising prana/oxygen amplifies wakefulness, preventing energies from sinking and catalyzing inner ascent.
Breathing in more fresh, lively air (prana) wakes your inner power (kundalini), while stale, carbon-heavy air makes it sleepy.
Why this matters practically
- Practice pranayama/bhastrika to boost prana and reduce lethargy.
- Favor dawn or fresh-air settings for deeper meditation.
- Keep posture, breath awareness, and ventilation optimal to sustain wakefulness for inner work.
