What happens to the body after deep and fast breathing?

After deep and fast breathing, the body transcends its heaviness, and in that lightness, you awaken to the soul's true essence, where the mind may dream of levitation, but it is the spirit that truly rises.

— Osho
According to Osho, after deep and fast breathing the body feels extraordinarily light, as body-consciousness drops and oxygen rises, awakening kundalini. This produces a sense of bodilessness and weightlessness that the mind pictures as levitation; rarely does actual levitation occur. These are soul-level experiences, not bodily events, so don’t be alarmed—observe the lightness as a sign of inner awakening.

Strong breathing can make you feel floaty, like flying, because your mind turns real lightness into that picture—your body stays on the ground.
