The speed of the breathing is increased in accompaniment to the speed of the movements of the body.
Therefore it is noticed that the breathing is smooth or quiet, when there is no bodily movement or when it is in its normal or relaxed state.
After having such smooth breathing for some time, the movements of the abdomen and the lungs should be brought under the control of the mind, and the movement should further be slowed.

 Spiritus asper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The spiritus asper ("rough breathing"), dasy pneuma (Greek: dasu, δασύ) or dasia (Greek: δασεῖα), is a diacritical mark used in Greek.
When a word begins by an initial grapheme which is a vowel not preceded by an [h], the spiritus lenis ("soft breathing") is employed.
It is part of the traditional polytonic orthography for Greek, but has been dropped in the modern monotonic orthography as the [h] sound has disappeared from Modern Greek.

Psilí (ψιλή), or smooth breathing (spiritus lenis), indicating the absence of an h.
All of these diacritics are important in Classical Greek (and the breathings in particular are relevant to the etymology of words in other languages), but have no significance in the modern language.
The rough and smooth breathings were introduced in classical times in order to represent the presence or absence of h in Attic Greek, which had adopted a form of the alphabet in which the H sign was no longer available for this purpose as it had been used (as Eta) for the long e.

 Project Renaissance, Velvety-Smooth Breathing
You've been breathing ever since day one, without having anyone show you how and without your having to give it attention to "make it go." In other words, breathing is part of the automatics of your system, like heart beat, brain wave or liver function.
Let your breathing be stroking you as if your whole body, tip to tip, head to toe, were a long luxurious strip of silk or velvet.
Each next breath, find a way to breathe more like that way than even the breath before it, more luxuriously with each breath, as if you were that silk or velvet being stroked.

 The Art of Breathing
So, if any or all of your breathing muscles are weakened or paralyzed, how much and how deeply you can breathe in will be affected, as will your ability to cough.
It is much gentler, and it's important that your helper coordinates his or her pushes with your natural breathing rhythm.
Get in the habit of breathing from your stomach rather than your chest; it will better fill those lower areas of your lungs, and lessen your chances of secretions building up that can lead to pneumonia and atelectasis.

The most important exception is that upper and lower case letters have separate code points, unlike the TLG standard which requires an asterisk to indicate an uppercase letter (however, the asterisk is also part of the font).
A second major variation is that breathing marks, accents, and other diacriticals exist in two forms: one for use with narrow characters and one for use with wide characters.
Standalone vowels (e.g., before an uppercase letter at the beginning of a word) may be simulated by typing a non- breaking space (7) followed by the narrow breathing mark/accent combination.

 Proper Breathing Helps Control Emotions
In that, I explained the correct breathing the relaxed belly breathing, and incorrect which is chest breathing or tense belly breathing.
When we are emotional, breathing is on the "automatic pilot." As we are focused on the object of our emotion, we hardly every consciously register the close relationship between emotions and breathing.
Because breathing is a unique bodily function which can be "automatic," that is, it can function on its own, without our deliberate effort to breathe and it can also be a conscious, "self directed," and voluntary activity.

 New Testament Greek Pronunciation: Exercise 1
If the comma is backwards, it is called a "rough breathing", and the vowel is pronounced as though there were an "h" before it.
If the comma is not backwards, it is called a "smooth breathing"; a smooth breathing indicates that there is no "h" sound before the vowel.
Note that the breathing mark and accent are placed on the secondletter of a dipthong.

In particular, watch for the conversion of the semicolon (mid-dot; sometimes this becomes a spacing circumflex) and question mark (sometimes becomes a macron over the previous letter).
I've also seen one instance in which an omicron with rough breathing and acute converted as two separate characters.
My guess is that an unexpected sequence was used in the original Galilee text.

 How to write in Greek on the Macintosh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Creating characters with diacritics (accents, breathing marks, iota subscripts) in Greek is a bit trickier because Unicode was designed primarily for modern languages, so the accents you can enter from the keyboard are not the To help us, Apple has thoughtfully provided an input palette for our use in finding these elusive characters.
When you click on one of these characters, a small description will appear at the bottom of the window telling you what the character is that you're looking at.
Because Unicode is designed for modern languages, the description will tell you, for instance, that you're looking at an alpha with a psili and not a smooth breathing mark.
