Practice tips from Sifu Roy - Abdominal Breathing -

 Abdominal Breathing (Taoist Longevity Breathing)

*The movement of the abdomen is active (yang) - 

[Expanding as you breathe in, contracting as you breath out] 

*The movement of rib cage is passive (yin) 

[Expanding at the floating ribs sideways as you breathe in and contracting as you breathe out]

*In and out through the nose

*Slow, Fine, Even, and Soft

*Breathing in Calm (As if the air is pure white vapor)

*Breathing out Tension and Stress, Injury and dis-ease (As if the air is dark and thick)

Enjoy!
