10th Century Tantric Instruction on Breathing...

"When the breath is unsteady, everything is unsteady: but when
the breath is still, all else is still. So one should control the
breath carefully. Inhale slowly and exhale likewise; neither retaining
the breath excessively nor beyond your capacity. Do not exhale
too rapidly. Inhalation gives strength and a controlled and
purified body; retention gives steadiness of mind and longevity; and
exhalation is totally purifying."
-- from The Goraksashatakam, tantric yoga text written circa 900's C.E.

Smile, breathe right, and keep your tongue up!
