Coordinating breathing with energy work is quite natural. When you inhale, you are pulling in energy; when you exhale, for whatever reason, it seems easier to direct energy.

A typical energy raising technique involves pulling energy up through your feet and all the way through your body to the top of your head (crown chakra) while you inhale, and then directing it down into your sub-navel storage center while you exhale.

Likewise, in some energy healing systems (like Quantum Touch and RB's healing with the heart), you raise energy up to your crown (Quantum Touch) or heart chakra (RB's method) while you inhale, then focus the energy into your hands while you exhale.

So, coordinating your energy work and your breathing is a perfectly natural and okay thing to do. But I would, for the sake of improving your control over your mind and your energy, recommend spending a little time on moving your energy around without having to rely on breath coordination.
