Breathing in is receiving whatever circumstances offer without prejudice or filter - Battlecry of Freedom

Breathing in is receiving whatever circumstances offer without prejudice or filter. Breathing out is the opportunity for a natural response based in awareness of whatever the circumstances require. 

Breathing in, practitioners allow whatever is perceived to define them in that moment – they are empty in relation to what is received. Breathing out, practitioners enable an appropriate response to arise free of self-support and self-protection – they are empty in relation to what is needed. Breathing in is receptive concavity in response to the convexity of other. Breathing out is appropriate convexity in response to the concavity of other.
