Self-Healing with Breathwork: Using the Power of Breath to Increase Energy and Attain Optimal Wellness

This is a book which is desperately needed in today's hectic world. I never knew that our breath had such power. Written by a master who knows of what he speaks, breath can connect us with other people, help us to sleep better and also to live better. He says that too much thinking means you are situated in your solar plexus center where thoughts and emotions are processed. The solution is to move out of this center into the one directly above, your heart center, using your breath, which is your connection to your higher source. After a few practices this will become routine and help you to sleep more deeply. This book is rich with exercises and wisdom of all kinds. I highly recommend it.

An excellent book to give info on healing breathwork. Good price also. Trust seller to give truth about condition of product.

Over the years I have read numerous books on various methods to breathe while doing yoga, tai-chi, the martial arts, and other meditation exercises. If fact, I have even taught what is often termed "Combat breathing" techniques. When I first saw this book advertised I decided to purchase it to see if it contained more information on proper breathing exercises. I am happy to report it has a very good breathing program to help anyone to learn how to combine your breathing practice for health and meditative purposes. This book is organized into ten areas. The first area covers a short history of breath and what we once knew. The basics of breathing are explained in the second section. Breathing and energy is explored in section three. Breathing and polarity is reviewed in the fourth section. How to counter stress is covered in section five. Breathing and meditation is emphasized in section six. Section seven deals with the healing breath. Your breathing day is taught in section eight. Section nine deals with the breathing voice and the final section explains your breathing environment and the sacred. This book has a lot of interesting and useful information on breathing techniques; however, in my opinion the primary flaw in this book is the author's mystical and esoteric approach to this subject rather than taking a more scientific and logical approach to learning how to breathe properly. In conclusion, if you are interested in learning some very basic breathing techniques to help you relieve stress and meditate more productively, you may want to check out this very informative book Rating: 4 Stars.

Well written and a good resource. Gave as gift and was well received.

Excellent book; very clear and helpful.

The best EVER

Thanks so much!

This book has been very helpful to me as a beginning meditator. Jack Angelo is an experienced guide and conveys the sacredness of the breath as the link between the physical and the spiritual. He says the secret of life and healing is the breath. There are many meditation exercises here, as well as discussions of our subtle energies and how to clear them, the chakra system and lots of information about our subtler bodies, healing self and others, and spiritual healing in various cultures. Some of the exercises take weeks of practice; but isn't meditation to be a life-long habit anyway, for there are no limits to the inner world. He recommends that you keep a journal. I have found that I've become less critical of myself as I go through the meditations. I'm not even halfway through them yet, but I feel this as a very high experience; I'm loving it!

I have a hard time meditating - stilling the mind. Jack is teaching me, in a very easy to understand way, how to sit quietly and breathe. The breath is our Chi - our Soul's energy. Through the breath you can enter sacred states easily. I am learning to go to my Centre....A book worth owning...you won't be disappointed!

The book is easy to read and the exercises are well explained. It is mainly aimed at practicing various breathing exercises, rather than in depth explanation of what the effect can be on the body and mind, but there is a very good introduction. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in practising breathe-work for the purpose of healing, or understanding the connection between breathing and the body and mind.

Was okay, more common sense, but it is good to jog you memory with what most people know already anyway

Just started reading this book and am finding all the information really helpful. I can highly recommend it to anyone looking to manage their stress levels and add to their 'natural health program'.
