General Points

Nasal breathing

Assume the lying or sitting posture, and take abdominal breathing.  When inhaling through the nose, keep the tip of the tongue against the palate.  Direct qi to the lower Dantian.  Saying silently the word "I", and stop breathing, then say silently the word "keep" or "I keep quiet " or "I keep quiet for the good of my health".  Lay down the tongue on exhaling.  Start with fewer words but no more than nine words.  Inhale attering the first word silently , and while attering the last one silently do exhaling, and hold breath while attering the words between them exhale. 

Oral-Nasal Breathing
