About this deal

What is so complicated about breathing? We have been doing it since we were born. Well, it turns out that we can change our breathing and it’s not for the better. Returning to good breathing can take some exercise, but it is definitely possible with this practical guide. Just Breathe: Mastering Breathwork Do you need to think about breathing? You’ve been doing it effortlessly since you were born, right? With the books below you will learn about breathing in general and techniques that can positively influence your body. We start our recommendations with the top 10 best books about Breath & Breathing of all time. This list has been updated this year, including all the recent titles. Best Books About The Breath & Breathing The way you breathe can reduce stress and improve your health. You can even be more productive and develop your spirituality when breathing differently. Let ‘Just Breathe’ help you with the Breath Mastery technique. The Little Book of Yoga Breathing: Pranayama Made Easy.

The best books on breathwork guide you into the practice and help you learn more about it. Best Books on Breathwork Holotropic Breathwork: A New Approach to Self-Exploration and Therapy by Stanislav Grof and Christiana GrofThe so-called Yi (the mind) is the horse of the breath. When moving or stopping, they follow each other -T'ai Hsi Ching Chu, The Embryonic Breath Canon Breathwork turns this automatic function of the human body into a conscious and mindful experience. People who practice breathwork claim that it: BREATH will do that. You'll find yourself breathing deeper, newly aware of the sustenance you rely on more than food or sleep, yet which you take largely for granted.

The author spent a decade traveling all around the world learning about various modern and historical teachings about breathing. In addition to thoroughly researching the topic, he participates in several scientific studies as well. Everything that was revealed was interesting and encourages you to research further on your own.These are exercises that promise to help us become better breathers, which, it is claimed by practitioners, can transform our physical and mental health by improving immune function, sleep, digestion and respiratory conditions, and reducing blood pressure and anxiety (or transporting you to a higher realm of consciousness, if that is your thing).

The last chapter actually turned out to have much more common sense with author admitting that breathing is only a part of a complex health system, along with diet, exercise, etc., and dedicating a few moments to describe a few breathing exercises. But honestly, save yourself time and money and read something else on this topic, like Iyengar's "Light on Pranayama". Pranayamas (yogic breathing techniques) are amazing, but consult your doctor if you have health problems, since some of them can be quite harmful if done without supervision. James Nestor takes a deep dive into the fascinating and surprisingly mysterious world of breathing. "How mysterious could it be, Heidi?" I hear you ask. It's something everyone does without thinking literally a few times every minute every day of their lives. If you've got serious health issues, breathing exercises may help in a small way, but they're not about to cure you. But what if you have nagging health issues, the kind allopathic medicine can't really cure and really doesn't have time to dig into? In that case, breathing exercises might offer surprising relief. Breath was published by Riverhead Books on May 26, 2020. [5] Nestor promoted the book with appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience [6] and CBS This Morning. [7]

Best Books on Breathwork

I’m suspicious of the claims in this book because they’re so outrageously extreme. Nestor claims that proper breathing can cure everything from diabetes to myopia to scoliosis. Scoliosis! The issue here is that he mixes fact with fancy, which is fine in fiction, but in a book about health that can be dangerous. The key body part to weight loss (and sexual health, posture, bone density, heart health) is the lung (like most health and self help books, this book seems to claim the cure for all ills with this single thing, which undermines his point, in my opinion--He does in the end say correct breathing won’t cure all ills, but this isn’t the general impression throughout; he generally overpromises) (so if he gains credibility through his desire to heal himself, he begins to lose credibility for me in trying every extreme [?] breathing idea he can find). I bookmarked all of the exercises Nestor gathers together from the text and lists at the end of the book. Each has similar yet slightly different affects according to practitioners of the methods. I may have to try every one to see for myself.

Watch a toddler breathe, she says, and they do it instinctively – their tummies swelling with each in-breath. Hartley believes it is when children begin school that bad habits start setting in that last a lifetime – they sit for long periods, move less, and start to experience emotional stressors that affect breathing (we are designed to take shallow breaths while under threat; it is just that now we feel as if we are under threat all the time). “We go into this fight-or-flight mode and the muscles contract. We start holding our breath a lot more than we should do. It can be anything from feeling nervous in a classroom or something can be happening at home, and you start doing these micro-breath-holds, which morph into an adult dysfunctional breath pattern. It happens without us realising it.” She has created a programme for schools, School Breathe, which launches next week, after being piloted in three schools in east London, teaching children breathing exercises to improve concentration and reduce stress and anxiety. Other things not mentioned? Many of Wim Hof’s records have been broken by others. Multiple people have died following the Wim Hof method. We like this book because of its simple but clear thought: you can change your life by changing the way you breathe. Become aware of the way you breathe now, and improve your breathing technique to affect your body and mind in a conscious and positive way. Breathing Room: A 28-Day Devotional for WomenDowling introduces us to a form of breathwork called “Rebirthing.” With more than 20 years of clinical practice, Dowling gives readers insight on how breathing can help you connect to your spiritual and emotional self. She offers gentle and easy practices that allow the reader to explore their inner lives and ultimately find wholistic balance. Breathe, You are Alive: The Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing by Thich Naht Hanh My experience is just another anecdote, though, so take it for whatever it's worth. Be aware that there's some very fair criticism of the book out there. Despite breathwork’s increasing popularity, many do not understand the science behind breathing practices. Many also are not aware of the cultural, historical, and philosophical underpinnings of breathwork that make it so powerful. Understanding the theories and facts associated with breathwork will not only increase your knowledge, but also strengthen your practice to make it even more intentional, effective, and fulfilling.
