Aloha Linda,
You’ve got the pulling in from the abdomen and filling from there up. I don’t think about where the physical breath is going, just that it’s filling from the bottom up at that point, then releasing from the top down until at last the lower abdomen is relaxed. My focus is on the energy being soaked in through all my pores and going to the lower dantian (or where ever the energy ball is at that time in the small universe meditation) –not the physical breath.
Much love, Shawn
