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 responses from patients than anything else he teaches. To learn the art of healthy breathing, Dr. Weil turned to Eastern traditions, including yoga, which views the breath as a vital link to prana, or the 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 – your 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 us all.
