Reverse Breathing

[Astral_Anima]

Hey all,

Just a quick question. I know reverse breathing is tightening the stomach in the in-breath and relaxing/expanding it on the out-breath. Any changes whether in/out through the nose/mouth?

 

Thanks

If you breathe in through nose and out through your mouth you should generate more fire. I use this for walking meditation.

If you breath in and out through your mouth and nose you generate more stomach fire than breathing just to your nose.

None of these are teachings I learned somewhere, just my own experience

 

If you want to experiment with reverse breathing try holding breath for some seconds and or closing the 3 yin doors breathing in and holding. Look at the heat, how it moves... where it moves.

It's not much a tightening but a suck in feeling. I don't think reverse breathing should be forced until it arises naturally from abdominal breathing.

Yes, I find this to be true too.
