Inhaling and exhaling is part of life. You have to breathe to live. Your body does this without your even having to think about it. But that can be the problem. Breathing and singing together become easier and more relaxed when you learn to think about each breath.
If you are a singer, you know how important good breath technique is. But you may not be aware how important being aware of your breath is. It is a good idea for people who sing regularly to learn from those who practice meditation how important deliberate respiration is.
Most important of all is just to pay attention. When you breathe, feel what your body does. If your whole torso is moving in all directions, you are doing it right. If only your chest is expanding, your diaphragm needs to be more involved. This means you need to relax and breathe more deeply.
Try taking deep breaths and then hold them. After a few seconds, take another breath. This forces you to breathe deeper and it also focuses your attention. Listen to your body as you breathe. If you hear a sound, you are not relaxed. Your breath should be completely silent.
When you go about your daily activities, listen to what your breath is doing. Whether you are shopping, talking to friends, or out taking a walk, pay attention to your respiration. If you are breathing shallowly, make yourself slow down and breathe deeply. Try taking shorter and longer breaths. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. All of these things improve your singing, but they also help you learn to be calm through meditation.
Once you begin to learn to pay attention to your breath and listen to how it changes, you will be able to control it. This will give you the ability to sing very softly or to belt it out. Soon breathing and singing together will be so natural you do not have to think about it any more.
