Breathing Styles Novels & Stories

He did not say anything about it. Sophia saw it too. He knew she saw it because her shoulders adjusted — not relaxing, not yet, but the specific micro-shift of someone incorporating new data. Ethan was breathing. He had the sequence Dr. Sable had given him — the inhale count, the hold, the exhale — and he was executing it with the focused discipline of a child who had been doing breathing exercises every morning for three weeks and had understood from the beginning that understanding why something worked made you more likely to do it correctly.

Darryl threw his hands in the air. “Hold it. Hold it. What are you doing?” he chuckled while shaking his head. When she looked at him with bewilderment he continued, “Do me a favor and just stand still for a minute. Just stand still and take a deep breath. Use your gut to breathe in. Fill your lungs all the way. Like this.” He took a slow, deep breath, while he demonstrated to Pam the proper way to breath. “You need to use the gut. You are using the chest. Look again.” With a look of patient determination, he demonstrated the proper method of breathing one more time. “Now you try it.”

I close my eyes as I breathe her in, filling my lungs with her heavenly scent. I’m about to pull away when I feel her small hands on my chest, and I freeze with my lips still against her forehead. She hesitantly runs her hands up my chest to connect behind my neck, and my lungs start to burn as I realize that I had been holding my breath.

"Feel the power inside you. It's there, buzzing just beneath your skin." "It's terrifying." "Power always is but fear makes you lose control. So we breathe through it." My thumbs press gently at the base of her neck. "In through your nose, slow, hold for three counts, out through your mouth." She tries and it's shaky at first. "Again. Find the rhythm." She breathes once, twice, three times. The glow around her hands dims slightly. "Good. You're already learning." "It doesn't feel like learning. It feels like drowning."

I relaxed my shoulders and let my breaths in and out slower than I was before. "Now become aware of your senses, what can you hear around you? What do you smell? Take notice of the small strokes of air brushing against your cheeks. Describe it for me," I inhaled expanding my diaphragm and lungs. I let the breath out and focused on the small morning breeze that softly brushed against my cheeks and ears.

Slower exhale. The rhythm of the Mass arrived without being summoned. It did not ask whether she was ready. It simply began, as it always did. The priest’s voice rose and fell with practiced steadiness, neither rushing nor lingering. The words landed and lifted, familiar enough to require no effort. Kneel. Stand. Sit. The motions carried her where thought did not need to follow. Peter’s breathing beside her found the same rhythm, slow and measured, as if he, too, was learning how to be made lighter.

"Find your breath. Inhale deeply through the nose, exhale slowly." I sat cross-legged, palms on my knees, and tried to focus. My nipples were already tight under my thin sports bra and tank top. The fabric rubbed with every breath. I shifted, feeling the seam of my leggings press against my pussy. I was already a little wet and we had not even started moving.

' Monica felt conflicted at this moment, but he decided to throw that thought away since, at this moment, it was useless to think too much since he hadn't fallen in love with someone after all, and there weren't any girls that he wanted to date at this moment. While walking, Monica felt that he should use his time in a better way, so he used his time to train his "Breathing Styles" better.

Lie back, open your legs a little. I hesitated, then did it. The sheet slid down to my waist. Cool air kissed the insides of my thighs. Me: Done. Tony: Good. Put your hand on your stomach. Just rest it there, don’t lower it yet. I obeyed. My palm felt warm against my skin. Tony: Breathe slowly, In and out. Feel your chest rise and fall. I followed the rhythm. The room got quieter. My heartbeat was loud in my ears.

“Yes. You think it’s simple but your body doesn’t breathe right when it’s drowning in fear or burning with rage. Your gift responds to those emotions, not reason, so we must strip them back. Now, close your eyes.” I hesitated, then shut them. “Draw air into your chest, slow and deep. Not shallow, not rushed. Hold it….now release. Again.” I inhaled until my ribs stretched. My shoulders twitched, tight with nerves. “Not in your shoulders,” she snapped. “In your belly. Feel it fill you, root you. Again.” I tried again, slower this time, letting my stomach rise. “Good.
