Breath Is Voltage: How Deep Breathing Awakens the Body’s Electric Life Force What We Mean by “Body Electricity” When people say “the body is electric,” it’s literal. Every cell in your body carries an electrical charge, and that current is what keeps you alive, thinking, and moving. When you breathe consciously, you’re literally charging your cells and tuning your internal voltage back into harmony. Breathwork facilitates the movement of "electricity" through the body by shifting the flow of bioelectric energy. Your cells run on tiny electrical charges, and breath is one of the fastest ways to influence that current. When you breathe deeply and rhythmically, you’re flooding the body with oxygen, which boosts ATP (your cellular energy currency) production in the mitochondria. ATP is what powers the tiny ion pumps in your cells that create voltage differences—aka your body’s natural battery. Additionally, breathwork alters your CO₂ levels, which in turn affects blood pH and co...
