Saying mu inwardly mu and systematic breathing

Saying mu inwardly places tension in the tanden, provided one breathes and takes the recommended posture. It takes some practice before one feels such tension as something immediate. If onefeels this   tension in the lower belly, then one will note this to be sort of things that he has not felt before.  


Some scientific research shows that lower belly houses a second brain.

When tension is located in the lower belly, the chatter box or the inner voice or thoughts or what have you that go on in the head stops. One also becomes more stable at this time.


I conjecture this, whatever it may turn out to be, and its likes, sprits or ego, or what have you, is a sort of things that place stress on different parts of the body, depending on where it stresses,different effects emerge, case in point is when it is located in the lower abdomen:it stabilizes the body and the mind.


It is probably chi or nafs, as Arabs would have it, or things of that nature.

I have extended the bamboo method, the author suggests to the contraction of abdominal muscles in view of expelling air that can be expelled from the lungs, that is in technical terms expelling expiratory reserve volume: I contract the lower belly in four phases. In this way,each time I apply fresh contraction.

I also apply the bamboo method in exhalations as suggested, by waiting between exhalations 5-20 seconds, in some cases even longer, four different phases, that is four different exhalations, spaced by 5-20 seconds, to repeat, so that the process of contraction and exhalation mirror each other.

This methodical way hastens my ability to stop thoughts,and by implications empty myself from pressures or egos.

After exhalations, I count four abdominal inspirations,inflating the lower belly first and then tensing it. Having finished this, I repeat the process. In this way all breathing activities mirror each other: four contractions of abdominal muscles, four exhalations and four inspirations.
