Breathing while chanting

While chanting, I have to stop every 5-6 seconds to breathe in, this is because as I chant the breath goes out slowly.

Am I chanting the wrong way?

Of course you have to stop and take a breath while chanting… :slight_smile:
Don’t worry so much about your breathing while you are chanting otherwise you will break your meditative state. Breathe when you feel you need to.
Just focus on being relaxed.
