For Health, Pray in Jesus' Way and Breath in a Specific Manner

The most important nutrition for cells, organs, and the human body is oxygen.   So, some Japanese experts in Buddhism and Shitoism as well as Spiritual researchers have focused on breathing.

Some Japanese Buddhist monks and shinto priests in the past invented their own effective method of breathing.  Even Nobuo Shioya, a spiritualism researcher and a physician who died in 2008 at the age of 105 invented his own breathing method of curing diseases and keeping health.

For example, zen master Hakuin (1686-1769) once got ill due to too hard zen training, but he was saved by learning a special method of breathing.  Later, he became a restorer of a zen faction of Japanese Buddhism.  This method is to inhale the air while imaging to take the air to around the naval.  He also recommended to imagine that inhaling and exhaling of the air through the soles of foot. 

The point at issue is imaging or meditating that the air is being inhaled or exhaled to/from around the naval or through the soles of foot while practicing deep breathing in a manner of the abdominal type of respiration or the belly breathing.

Shioya was unique in recommending to pray for peace of the world while practicing deep breathing to/from around the naval with hands locked on the belly in a specific form.  In this era of the corona pandemic, it is recommended to pray for settlement of the pandemic while practicing a specific breathing method.  

Although Christ Jesus did not recommend any breathing method, He taught how to pray: 

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Breathing while praying as Christ Jesus told us must be more effective in conquering diseases and keeping health.  It is because a holy spirit should come into your body while you are breathing and praying to the God.  The holy spirit should fill your body, organs, and cells to take away poisonous matters and provide energy to your body, organs, and cells.  It should even suppress the corona virus.  That is why Christian priests have built up resistance to infectious diseases although they have travelled all the world to preach Gospels, so that Christianity has spread all the world in these 2,000 years.

Holy spirits taken into the human body while praying to the God must be more important and critical than oxygen taken by any specific breathing methods.      

So, to conquer the corona virus, you have to pray to the God as Christ Jesus told us, and then you might as well perform a specific abdominal type of respiration or belly breathing.

Mark 11, King James Version
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
