Karate masters and martial artists often emphasize the importance of controlled breathing not only for physical performance but also for mental and emotional balance, which can help manage negativity in various contexts. Here are several ways in which breathing techniques benefit karate masters in dealing with negativity:

0:00.0	Welcome to episode 3,137 of your daily meditation podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to day three of this week's series. This is a series by request from one of
0:19.1	your fellow meditators you had the chance to meet in episode one this is Tracy Hamilton he lives
0:29.8	in Helena Montana in a beautiful mountainous area near the Elk Mountains and he just returned
0:39.4	from a Father's Day weekend with his family in the mountains.
0:46.2	And he, in his interview, you may remember,
0:50.2	is a black belt in Karate and in fact he has a karate studio and when I first
0:59.4	started getting to know Tracy he reached out to me on Instagram sending me a direct message
1:05.5	and you can do the same too I'd love to get to know you and how your meditation
1:10.9	ritual is coming along. Well Tracy mentioned to me how different
1:18.0	meditation themes supported him and how the different techniques helped him.
1:23.0	And he said that the breathing techniques are perhaps the most powerful techniques that he does

2:17.3	The best breathing techniques, just like the best affirmations, are concise, they're simple, you'll remember them, they're easy to do.
2:27.0	So this is a technique that you inhale and exhale to a count that feels comfortable with you. So you choose the
2:37.2	count and make sure that it's something you feel comfortable doing. Don't think
2:42.4	oh if I inhale longer or exhale longer,
2:46.4	I'm going to be calmer.
2:48.4	That's not necessarily true.
