Its all about the breath...
Breathing life into something inanimate takes the greatest degree of subtle feel and skill. One can easily blow it.
Imagine a balloon with an inherent weakness in its surface. Blowing it up leads to a misshapen balloon.
Too much breath... not so good.
Too little breath... still not so good.
It all seems like a lesson in yogic breathing... and that is not far wrong. Start gently, turn the matter at hand over gently, adjust the force of the out breath as needed.
Know the emphasis is on the out-breath today. So, if you find yourself tense and high-strung, take the time to breathe deeply and emphasize the out breath... phew!
