Exercise 2: Breathing Technique
Dad sat cross-legged in front of them, his back perfectly straight, hands resting on his knees.
"What separates cultivators from normal people," he began, "is the ability to sense and manipulate Nexis—the energy that flows through all things. The air, the ground, living creatures, even empty space has Nexis in it."
Kai already knew this, but he nodded like he was hearing it for the first time.
"The first step is learning to sense it. Most people can't feel Nexis at all—it's invisible, intangible. But with the right technique, you can train yourself to detect it."
Dad demonstrated a breathing pattern—slow inhale through the nose (count to four), hold (count to two), controlled exhale through the mouth (count to six).
"This is called Basic Breath Circulation. Watch me carefully."
