Respiratory Meditation

There's no secret that breathing plays a very important role in the arts of war and, in particular, in Ikido.
I think the next piece of Koichi Tohei will help you work on KI. All newborns use their abdomen or respiratory diaphragm in the first three months of life, automatically moving to the breast breath of an adult. No one can understand the reason for this transition. People in Ikido, Zen, Yogoi believe that breathing with diaphragm is the most appropriate way of breathing.
Deep and controlled breathing does not prevent meditation. Deep breathing, which is increasingly spreading in the United States to relieve fatigue and tension, is not news. The singers have been using this for years.
The exercise begins with a very slow breath through his mouth. This breath doesn't look like a balloon blowing up, it's more like purifying the throat. Then there's a very slow breath through the nose. The air is through the nose and through the throat. You have to feel light tension in your throat when you breathe air. Between every breath and breath, a little suffocation takes two to three seconds.

Attention! You have no right to look at the hidden text.

If you're just starting, you're doing eight breaths. As you go, increase the number to 10, 12, 15, etc. It's only 15 minutes a day at first. As you become more respiratory, there's a lot of time to learn. The most convenient position is sitting, but you can perform exercises and lying and standing. Whatever position you choose, the back must be straight. If you do everything right, you'll notice that only your abdomen moves.
With the meditation we use these days, we're dropping our head, closing our eyes, thanking the whisper or asking for forgiveness from the Almighty. The Zen is sitting in the middle of a meditation for hours, with closed eyes, crossed with his legs, deep down. If you lose control of yourself, you will receive immediate assistance from the priest. He'll knock you a little over his wooden stick... This action will lead you to consciousness. There are different ways of meditation in the world.
Each esoter school uses its own method.
For example, Yoga and Ikido use a deep concentration with the controlled breathing described above. While both exercises seem similar, there are differences at the point at which the focus is concentrated.
