Laura:
Breathe in for the full count, yes.  And try to breathe in as deeply as possible, with the diaphragm, so that when I say "hold" you have really full lungs and can then, following the hold, control the slow release of the breath to emphasize the period of vagal nerve stimulation.  The short hold after the release of the breath will make you "air hungry" so that you will be more inclined to breathe as deeply as possible when I next say "breathe in."

Andrew:

T.C.:
I'd like to share an observation I've made while experimenting with the abdominal breathing. It's about how to tell when you're using the upper (wrong) muscles instead of the diaphragm.

It seems to me that there are two kinds of "full", with regards to the air we take in. When breathing with the diaphragm, we fill the lungs, but it's not uncomfortable in any way and one still feels relatively relaxed. But there is a way to take in more air. The way you do this is by using those upper muscles; the pecs and neck ones.

When I do this,  it feels like the extra air isn't filling the lungs at all; they're already full. The extra air is filling trachea. When this happens, if one closes the pharynx to keep the air in, the pressure pushing against it hurts a little bit.

So I think one can tell if they're only using the diaphragm because this doesn't happen; the trachea doesn't fill up like that and there's no tension in the neck and chest this way.
