2% of the total oxygen intake is through the skin. Then maybe one could increase this number by general body purification, pore breathing, bone breathing, daoist “bathing”.
If you would train your body to need less oxygen like in Frolov’s endogenic breathing, would it be possible that these two numbers approximate (more and more oxygen through the skin, less and less the cell is needing) and when they meet -peng! – embryonic breathing!
(just dreaming about being the daoist superman-)

… I think that the true Tai Xi ultimately could only be explained in terms of qi and shen, not in terms of pysiology.
By the time it happens, O2 and CO2 will go
and stroll off to the park all by themselves
heavily immersed in discussions about metabolism. (and in the end,
-finding no real solution to this issue- just vaporize in a big puff of physiological deconstruction)
