Summary

, 7 min

The three conditions of the Holy Trinity of Breath: under seven breaths a minute, no pauses between breaths by flattening box breathing, and an outbreath slightly longer than the inbreath, which lets the heart rest and save heartbeats. Two proofs follow: hot, heavy hands and blood moving in the lips.
