2. Exhale

When you exhale, you will feel your stomach deflate like a deflated ball. When you feel that the abdominal gas has been almost expelled, you can use a conscious abdominal movement to tighten your abdomen to squeeze out the remaining gas. At this time, the diaphragm also lifts up with the contraction movement.

3. Inhale

When inhaling, the process is just the opposite of exhaling. You feel your stomach slowly expanding, the diaphragm descending, and the abdomen being able to inhale fresh air.

4. Intention

You can concentrate your thoughts on your Dantian.
