Right now just try to take a good inhale and exhale while putting your attention on your hand. After a couple of breaths, see if you can breathe in and out of your hand. Can you get a feeling of whether oxygen is actually going in and out of your hand? Maybe you can feel something happening. Now try it in a few more places.
Take a nice deep inhale and see if you can breathe into your forehead. Notice that when you put your attention into your forehead as you breathe, your awareness suddenly expands. You become aware of more subtle feelings than if you were merely thinking about your forehead. Putting your awareness on a specific place in the body amplifies your physiology and the subtle energies inside you.
