Breathing is focussed on in some forms of meditation. It is to train your mind to concentrate, focus on the here and now and learn the impermanence of things. There's a lot of websites and you'll find many detailed books on the subject. The purpose of breathing meditation is to clear the mind of anything else but the breath.

Meditation helps with spiritual developmet because we stop our thoughts and allow the natural flow of things to continue without any ideas getting in the way.

slow deep breathing with a pause inbetween breaths will extend your life span by a fair bit.

Ah, this is true. My old science teacher told me that hardly anyone breathes as deeply as they should. We're starving our bodies of blood and oxygen without really meaning to. What we think of as "deep breaths" is actually a normal one. Kinda sad, in a way.
