Bongwoo Tao Breathing Method Forward
When you inhale through your nose, it goes into your lungs, and when you exhale through your lungs, it goes out through your nose. If there is a name for this, it is called chest breathing. There is also abdominal breathing in which the breath inhaled through the nose reaches the lower abdomen, and after it is full, the breath slowly exhaled from the belly reaches the nose.Although there are various types of breathing techniques, in the end, it is either chest breathing or abdominal breathing. Most people are exposed to these types of breathing techniques so detailed instructions are not provided in this book. Many Taoist teachers from the East and West have described the meaning of these two breathing methods as well as shared their personal experiences with these techniques.
