We breathe without thinking about it--but those
life-giving breaths are ''actively'' at the heart of
everything that we do, and the single common denominator
underlying every dimension of our being. The power of
breath goes beyond the need for oxygen; conscious
breathing techniques can accelerate healing, improve
cognitive skills, enhance sex and intimacy, intensify
meditation, boost athletic performance, and open our
receptivity to greater spiritual awareness.''Perfect
Breathing'' teaches us how to become conscious of that
all-important breath, to recognize those situations
where we need to breathe most efficiently, and to
remember to take full, cleansing, powerful breaths every
moment of the day. Each section contains valuable
information that applies to significant areas of your
life--your health, mind and emotions, physical
performance, and spirituality--so you'll grasp the
scope, breadth, and influence of breathing on each one.
The techniques are all relatively simple to master; with
just a few minutes a day and this easy-to-follow
program, you'll slowly integrate conscious breathing
into your life and routine.Backed by compelling science
and evidence from people for whom breathing is central
(astronauts, fighter pilots, Olympic athletes,
adventurers, performing artists, and others), and
complete with exercises that address specific problems,
''Perfect Breathing'' is an important book in the
science of breathing and a critical link to living
longer, healthier, more robust lives. |
