Aloha Amstar,
Yes, when you inhale, the area of your stomach below your navel should draw in a little. You then allow the breath to permeate and fill all the way up the body, as in a normal breath. On the exhale, the breathe evenly flows out and the held place releases along with the abdomen muscles.
"Breathing is important to your practice. In level one it is more important that you breathe slowly and evenly than it is to do Qigong breathing."
Much Love, Shawn
