Breathing in Taijiquan

00:00- 11:45  Each breath is a dance of Yang and Yin. The inhale activates the sympathetic nervous system to prepare for  Doing (Yang). The exhale activates the parasympathetic nervous system to calm the body down into a state of Being (Yin). Controlling the breath is one of the simplest acts of body-mind integration. It can be done to create a superconscious state of awareness. 

11:45-  16:04  Meditation: Breathing to Balance the Autonomic Nervous System. Inhale for a three-count. Hold for three. Exhale for three. Hold for three. Repeat.
