FOUNTAIN BREATH

I also call this the 'Diamond Breath." and it is the subject of an essay and a seminar, entitled: "A Single Breath." After working closely with thousands of people, I have come to realize that this particular breathing technique is basic to all the other exercises.

In learning this breath, we need to think in terms of shape and quality. First, the shape:

The inhale begins as a slow, thin stream, barely perceptible. As in comes in, it expands, it accelerates, it gets louder. It reaches a peak and then it turns into the exhale.
