Wait what the hell? How does THAT work?

[angryshaman666]

One thing that's been bothering me about when I do certain mantras lately, especially the SATANAMA chant is that even though I'm chanting while EXHALING my lungs are even MORE full of air at the end of the chant and it disrupts my rhythm.

I inhale, chant on the exhale and then somehow the chant is filling my lungs so I'm drawing air and exhaling at the exact same time.

I have no idea how that even works.

If my lungs did that while doing cardio I'd have no complaints whatsoever but while chanting mantras it's screws up my rhythm.

Is this normal?
