Rep Power: 100 | |  reverse breathing
For me reverse breathing is, on the slow inhale through the nose, the air goes in and at the same time I retract or "suck in my stomach as far as I can(trying to touch my spine with my abs)".
On the exhale, it is also slow and I hold my stomach in until the last bit of air is being exhaled, then at the same time Im releasing the last bit of air,I push my stomach out. Thus the reverse breathing.  |

Rep Power: 100 | | | Okay, this is a good kind of massage for the intestines and skins of the lung in the lower sector.
There is a "natural" reverse breathing, which I won't call "method" because you don't "do" that, it will establish, after a while. If I look into the mirror, it looks like a ball getting drawn in and upward, from the stomach making one ball, and the lower part of the lung forming another, and if the one is "shrinking", the other expands forming a kind of moving wave going up when inhaling, so it does look as if you are not breathing "deep". |

Rep Power: 0 | | | i have come across references to taoist and buddhist breathing. i believe what you describe is the former which is the reverse of most "external" style breathing. when i studied tai chi this was the breathing that was taught to us... |

Rep Power: 9 | | | You do reverse breathing naturally all the time,
Pay attention next time you cry or laugh which way your breathing happens.
Also when up set, reverse breathing can account for extraordinary feats of strength like mothers lifting cars, because it causes the Chi to flow to the extremities, and gives pcp like energy. It is also why you feel messed up so badly after something like this happens, because you rpobably did not set it back to normal, and it had to do so of its own accord.

The one where the mother and child get in a car accident and the mother is overcome by superhuman stregnth and lifts the car up to rescue her child trapped within.
