Please:
(1) Both Yoga (with prana) and QiGong (with chi) have a practice of "breathing into the body".
(2) I discovered how to to do this without anyone instructing me how to do it.
(3) But I have difficulty describing how exactly I do it . . . or how someone else might do it.
(4) It's not (in my experience) only "intention" or "attention".
(5) There seems to be some preliminary orientation of the mouth and throat involved.
(6) If you try, for example, to make a "hissing sound" with an open mouth (like a cat) . . . that seems to be close.
(7) You tighten the muscles in your mouth in some way (that I can't explain well) . . . and exhale . . . and it's at that point that the intention to direct the breath in a certain direction in the body becomes possible.
(8) Any ideas on this (?)
Thanks . . .
