Hi all.
I've heard that the secret of mokuso breathing is to do an active exhale instead of inhale. What I mean is that you slowly exhale until you have almost nothing left in your lungs. Then when you relax, if you emptied them properly, air automatically flows back. Compare this to a normal relaxing sigh wich is opposite. It is easiest if you think of a tone or sound that you can pretend that you are saying for as long as you can. Anyway... the point is that we are stronger and physically more focused when we exhale. The rhythm of your heart also decreases on a controlled exhale.

Don't know if it makes sense but I hope you follow.
