The
health you enjoy today, and for the rest of your life, begins with
your next breath. In fact, breathing is so crucial to your body's
ability to heal and sustain itself that Dr. Andrew Weil says: "If
I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would
be simply to learn how to breathe correctly."
On Breathing: The Master Key to Self Healing, listeners will
learn a complete course of eight breathing exercises that Dr. Weil
uses in his own life, and has prescribed to hundreds of patients over
the past two decades, Dr. Weil reports that these breathing exercises
get more favorable response from patients than anything else he teaches.
To learn the art of healthy breathing, Dr. Weil turned to Eastern
traditions, including yoga, which view the breath as a vital link
to the prana, or energy of the universe. In easy-to-follow language,
he explains the secret of breathwork's power over your health, and
its remarkable ability to influence – and even reprogram – the nervous
system. From increasing energy – to lowering blood pressure – to improving
circulation – to beating anxiety disorders without drugs – Breathing
is a practical introduction to the benefits of breathwork, presented
by the bestselling author and physician who has taken the miracle
out of self healing, and made it available to all.
