Breathing towards a better life
One of the greatest aspects of Lewis's book is the fact that the author used the word awareness as a key element to improve
you
r breathing. Most techniques used in breathing advise people to learn
how
to deep breathily without being conscious of what is happening during the process.
Therefore, one
can
optimize ones breathing by simply paying attention to it. Becoming aware of
your
breathing and body movement will teach you deep breathing efficiently and naturally.
This book has taught me how to handle stressful situation. Instead of trying to rapidly change my breathing I started to calm down by simply being aware of my breathing, analyzing it. So in a couple of minutes I end up feeling completely changed.
Therefore, throughout the day the
more
you pay attention to your breathing the more you improve your
life
quality. However, in order to obtain optimum results it is essential to do the exercises shown in the book.
Speaking of breathing exercises (known by the experts as breathing experiments) I would also recommend Ways to Better Breathing by Carola Speads. Speads`book is my favorite.

Free Your Breath, Free Your Life
I think this book had some good ideas for breathing techniques, I liked that there was
more
than one so
you
could try and find the one that was most effective for the reader.
Slow down, take a breath, and read this book!
A wonderful book that, besides offering many of easy practices, along with truly
help
ful illustrations, the book provides an entire chapter to help open up "breathing spaces" as well on the relationship of breathing to self-image and the spiritual dimensions of breathing, and also has some very helpful breathing meditations - very good book on the science of breathing!
If
you
are looking to use breathing as a key for OBE or Out of Body Experience, then perhaps I
can
recommend another book, I can think of no better training tool for the student of Meditation and especially the Science and Practice than this wonderful little book:
The Hindu-Yogi Science Of Breath: Manual Of Oriental Breathing Philosophy Of Physical, Mental, Psychic & Spiritual Development - it contains careful, sound and easy to follow directions on quieting and controlling the mind and breath in ways that will greatly enhance self control, calm, metabolism and open the gateway to some incredible Cosmic Experiences, if one is patient and willing to apply these techniques over a reasonable period of time.
Peace!

It's True!
Most of us...most of the time...do not breathe adequately. Change
you
r breathing and you change everything.
Easy to read and understand.
A requirement for my students! Highly Recommended!
Author Dennis Lewis has created a masterpiece with "
Free
You
r Breath, Free
Your
Life
". In the society in which we function, everyone seems to forget about the mind, body and spirit, which truly begin with the breath. We could all
live
a higher quality of life, be healthier and happier if only we'd find a way to relieve the main cause of our negativity. That cause is stress. The best alternative in my mind is to learn
how
to breathe again, breathing free like when we were babies. Breathing freely allows us to release mental and physical stress. But the key is to find a way to reconnect to that type of breathing.
Luckily for us, Dennis has created a simple roadmap that leads us back to free breathing. What separates this book from the tons of others I've read on breathing is that it doesn't take the same approach for each individual. It presents seven different methods of breathing specifically tailored to the individuals needs and presented in highly detailed and descriptive terms so that there is no confusion to exactly how to apply this process. And the great part is they are simple to perform so they won't feel like you `have' to do them. Once you've mastered these exercises, this method of breathing will become second nature...just like breathing;)
Through these methods, you
can
easily reconnect to effortless breathing in order to heal the mind and body. Dennis allows us to free our breath so as to infuse our bodies with oxygen to improve overall health and allow us to release stagnant air from the lungs to relieve physical and mental stress (as well as release old emotions I believe) while
help
ing us to open up breathing spaces in our body we were never aware of using a multitude of methods including postures, sounds and physical touch. This is such a simple way to improve the quality of your life. Who wouldn't want such an simple, easy way to have a better quality life?
Free Your Breath, Free Your Life also includes three appendixes giving us further detailed information of important breathing methods such as inhaling through the nose, standing postures and exercises for alleviating pain. If you want to improve your quality of life, begin with the breath and begin with Dennis Lewis.
I am an author of a breathing book myself, which is an exercise system for singers and speakers to improve vocal power. I feel that this book works well with my singing methods because Dennis' books fills in all the gaps I've left out in mine. While I am showing people how to sing better through breathing, he is showing people how to live better through breathing. I am making this book a requisite for all of my students!
