Book: Zen Training by Katsuki Sekida

Hello friends. I am reading this book now. I am fairly new to Zen, but not so new to meditation or Buddhism. It seems he has some quite detailed and perhaps radical views on breathing (purposely contracting abdominal muscles, even holding the breath). He also is an advocate for close eyed meditation. Has anyone read this book? His section on breathing in particular was almost too confusing for me to comprehend what he was describing. I want to take as much as I can from this book, but there is a lot going on. Can anyone comment on attempting to control the breath also? Any comments on anything related to this would be welcome. Thank you.
