How do you control your breathing rate?

For the most part, you don't. Breathing is controlled by a part of the nervous system that is independently controlled by a number of "feedback mechanixms". When your body works harder and your heart speeds up, your breathing follows suit as it tries to maintain your oxygen levels within an acceptable range. There are lots of stories of those who have spent years developing the ability to control their breathing with amazing results, but I haven't met any of them. You can contol your breathing as long as you are concentrating on it; make it smoother, faster, deeper, etc., but as soon as your attention is diverted, your "automatic" mode kicks back in. Good thing, too, or sleep would be impossible.

Is Qi oxygen?

Qi or chi is called the life force. Qi does have oxygen but oxygen is not the only Qi. There is different types of Qi, breathing is the most useful Qi since breathing is part of what keeps humans going in every day life. There are different types of breathing you can do to use Qi and develop Qi. So if you look at humans use breathing to get oxygen and release carbon dioxide which trees use to make more oxygen. Within oxygen there is Qi and within carbon dioxide there is Qi. This is why Qi is called the life force. Water also has Qi, food you eat has Qi, and the Body has Qi. There is a meeting point in the body where all 3 meet which is in your stomach, its above the navel. So oxygen and breathing do have Qi but is not the only Qi, its taught that every living and non living thing has Qi. Even when a human or animal may pass on his/her Qi is still here its life force never stops or ends it moves in a different space. They have many books on Qi and development of Qi either for health or martial arts. Hope this helps you to understand, but research of Qi is always in motion.
