The fallacy with the notion of breath and energy.

[ChiDragon]

I was reading randomly online investigating what  people say about directing the breath and energy during meditation. From understanding, it is a fallacy to say that taken in the oxygen and energy or directing the breath and energy inside the body. Unfortunately, perhaps some the people are took it for granted. 

 

I will quote some of the texts and point out the fallacy.

[ChiDragon]

Nasal Breathing:
Most breathing, both inhalation and exhalation, is done through the nose to better control and direct the breath and energy.

1. 4. Focus on Relaxation:

   Throughout the practice, maintain a state of relaxation in your shoulders and lungs to facilitate deeper breathing. 
2. 5. Repeat:

   Continue this process for several minutes, allowing for a deep and full breath to take in oxygen and energy.

When I breathe in, I take in life force from the Cosmos.

 

Sometimes I direct that life force to deficient areas of the physical body

If that is true, then, what else you are breathing in that you are not aware of? Is it possible that you might be breathing some other bad force along with the cosmic life force. That which might cause harm to your body?

Micro plastics are in the air now . 

[ChiDragon]

Micro plastics are measurable as opposed to some unknown force in the air which is not. However, oxygen are measurable and it was known it helps to produce energy in the body. The cosmic force in the air is an imaginary force which is causing beyond reasonable doubt.

I am careful about where I live and go, and what I take into my physical, emotional and mental bodies.  I keep EMR exposure to a minimum.

 

There are no apparent chem trails and I have yet to detect graphene in the air

In that case, then, please don't forget to wear a gas mask when you walk on a busy street.

This thread is a good reminder to me.

 

To breathe more.

 

And breathe more deeply.

In Ki-Aikido they separated breathing exercises from meditation practice.  I've always liked trying different breathing rhythms, in Aikido they'd do very long 1 minute cycle, a minute in, minute out.  Quite difficult, but cheating was allowed til it was doable.  Lately, I like 7in-7hold-7out for 30 minutes.  

 

After doing a breathing exercise, your normal unguided breath lengthens,  allowing you to move deeper faster during meditative sitting.
