Pai Lum Kung Fu breathing is done by using a technique called circular breathing from the tan tien.

On inhalation, air is taken in through the nose, follows an imaginary path over the head, down the neck and spine, and turns in towards the Tan tien. The tan tien is a point in the body located approximately one inch below the navel.

On exhalation the air is let out of the body by following another imaginary path out of the tan tien, back out to the spine, up the spine and neck, and out of the mouth.

When the air is inhaled, keep the lips together, but do not use pressure on the lips.

When the air is exhaled, let the lips separate naturally. Do not open the mouth wide.

Remember: In through the nose, Out through the mouth.

Now, in order to get the breathing apparatus functioning, it is important to use the abdominal muscles on inhalation to expand and pull the diaphragm muscle down, this creates a stronger pressure inside the lungs than on the outside and the lungs expand. Then, to exhale, pull in on the abdominal muscles, causing the diaphragm to rise, creating a stronger pressure on the outside of the lungs, and the lungs compact, causing the air to leave the body.

Remember: Inhale, make the belly fat, Exhale, make the belly flat.
