Hi, I'm starting with some of the active exercises in a sitting posture because of chronic fatigue. But I'm confused about the breathing. In the "Beginning of the Universe" the instruction is to inhale with the belly in, and exhale with the belly out, which I understand as reverse breathing. Is this the way that all the other exercises should be practiced too?
Second: Do you just follow your natural breathing rhythm, or do you deliberately try to regulate it? For example, in the "Breathing of the Universe", my natural breathing rhythm doesn't match the rhythm of the arms. Should I try to elongate my breathing to match the arms, or speed up the arm rhythm to match my breathing?
My breathing is a difficult area for me, not that I have any particular lung problems, but have very shallow breathing related to the fatigue. Any suggestions as to how to work with this would be appreciated.
