I notice a pulse in my note when I am blowing soft and gentle. This pulse is
my heartbeat.

The influence on my breathing by playing the Shakuhachi, and the influence
on the Shakuhachi by the current condition of my breathing has fascnated me
from the very start.
It seems that the practice not only has musical benefits but health
benefits. I'm sure we are getting rid of a lot of stale air from the depths
of the lungs.

Kel.
