Should the lower interior abdominal muscles be sctivated the pull the hypogastrium in when exhaling. I worry I am contracting too much. Is there any contracting?
Breathe softly and completely silently. Prolong the exhalation. Release the breath and automatically sufficient air will momentarily flow back up through the nostrils. Breathe out slowly and gently for as long as possible. Again, effortlessly inhale naturally filling the vacuum. Continue breathing out and in this manner. Breathe from the belly or lower abdomen not the chest. Never hold the breath Focus all attention and power into the lower abdomen during exhalation, to a spot behind and about two inches below the navel. This spot, known as the tanden or dantian (丹田) in Asia or the hypogastrium in Western anatomy, is the center of the body. Withdraw all mental energy from the head and channel it into your tandem. Concentrate ; breathe from this point and practice Osu
