In that regard what is important in this case is RHYTHM, because when there is a steady rhythm/frequency then energy is able to build up and expand. When the rhythm of the breath is broken, much is lost. This rhythm thus relates to the heartbeat.
Also, full breathing is important, which is about 80% fullness of lungs in each breath.
What happens when oxygen is added to fire? Air coming in to the body does the same thing to the fire of the heart and the body, and breathing is a fundamental practice for those learning to develop the "inner heat" known in yoga.
In a way, the breath is the second primary rhythm in the body, after the heartbeat. As you meditate your breath gets more subtle, the breath which also corresponds to "The Word", or Logos, and thus when the breath is made steady, still and subtle, the vibrations of the body unite and the body becomes a resonant sound chamber, amplifying the radiant vibrations and sounds of the heart and heart-beat. Thus, in the heart-beat is seen the Creator, and in the Breath lies the Logos.
