Do You Need to Control the Breath to Find Stillness?

A Daoist, physiological, and practical perspective.

Modern wellness culture often treats breathwork as the gateway to inner calm. From box breathing to Wim Hof to Soma and countless variations, the message is simple: control the breath → calm the mind → reach inner peace.

And for many people beginning their inner journey, this is true. Conscious breathing is a powerful tool. But every time I used to ask my Daoist & Neigong teachers about breathwork they always brushed it off saying:

“Stop trying to do breathwork. When the mind settles, the breath settles. Not the other way around.”

So which is it? Is breathwork essential? Or is it a detour before “real meditation”?

The answer is both more nuanced and more empowering.

This article bridges these two worlds—Western breathwork and Eastern meditation—so practitioners know when to use breath, when to let it go, and how to integrate both for deeper transformation.
