Hello Kerats

I wonder if you feel some tension because of the 'unnatural' feel of reverse breating initially. I recall finding it like this and now I find it very natural, even choosing to do it sometimes when I relax. I can only suggest that you try breathing less deeply since your intuition seems to be that this is a factor. Just be aware of you stomach going in however slightly and you might want to think of the out breath as just letting go, ie an absence of tension in the abdominal area. Take it very gently just to establish the principle of 'breathing back to front' and then experiment with breathing a little more deeply if it feels right, but take your time - there is plenty of good stuff going on energetically without you getting too focused on the breathing in the first instance. I suspect that you will naturally find yourself breathing more deeply.

It may be that you could do the exercises with normal breathing initially but I would want to defer to more knowledgeable forum members on the wisdom of this

Love, Kev
