rachel,
if you use gravity to help you, you'll take in more air with less effort
in the right places than an other way.
the best way to get the feel of it is to exhale all your air, pulling in
all your abdominal muscles. pause but, don't lock your throat as if you
were holding your breath. then, just 'drop' your abs (sudden relaxation of)
and let that drop pull the air in for you (it helps to have your mouth open
the whole time). it will probably feel like you threw your gut out the
window (individual sensations may differ).
this approach is very similar to Qi Gong breathing.
