This Daoist breathing exercise uses "Si" - one of the "Six Healing Sounds" or Liu Zi Jue - to foster strength and clarity and to reinforce the Metal element in the body. This exercise is also believed to strengthen the Lungs and Large intestine

To do it, inhale deeply and slowly through the nose. As you exhale, open your mouth slightly and say the "Si" sound (pronounced as "ssss") softly and gently.
