Think I better post the exact extract from the letter. Hope that will be more helpful to anyone who are searching for answers.
From the letter:
" "What is the proper way to breathe?"
Breathing is important to your practice. In Level 1 it is more important that you breathe slowly and evenly than it is to do Qigong breathing.
When you practice breathing like I suggest, it will soon become second nature. When you inhale, the area of your stomach below your navel should draw in a little. When you exhale, let it out a little as the abdomen muscles release in an even flow. This might be opposite of the way you breathe now, but it helps balance your body's energy better. I breathe this way all of the time.
Just remember there is no "right" or "wrong" way to breath in Spring Forest, there is only good, better, best. "
