5.0 out of 5 stars Find your breath......., October 19, 2005

This review is from: The Breathing Box (DVD)

One of the main reasons that I came to yoga years ago was to learn how to breathe, based on the advice of my dentist. Yes, my dentist. He had told me that one of the main reasons that I had dental issues was because I was a mouth breather. So, I decided to take up yoga and work on it. I've made a lot of progress over the years, but am always reading things on the importance of breath and constantly working to learn more about the process of strengthening my breathing.

This kit is a really big help to me. Breathing books can only tell you so much - having the DVD really brings the lessons home. Gay Hendricks is a very gentle guide and his exercises are straightforward and easy to learn. The techniques presented really do make a difference in your breathing. I have even showed these exercises to other breathing impaired people and they noticed how much calmer and more clear they felt. Don't bother just getting any old breathing book - purchase this kit and notice the difference for yourself.

The evidence is overwhelming: If something's troubling you, then changing the way you breathe will help."

Over 1,000 studies show evidence that breathing correctly can relieve anxiety, depression and chronic fatigue. In "The Breathing Box," Dr. Hendricks teaches a form of breathing that allows for the maximum delivery of oxygen to your cells. Centered breathing can be used when you feel irritable, hurried, stressed or impulsive in regards to addictive behaviors. The photo-illustrated breathing cards can be kept for easy reference and show easy-to-learn breathing exercises that encourage a sense of control and peace.

Items included in this box:

90-minute DVD
80-minute CD
48-page Guidebook

"If you do not breathe well, it is almost impossible to feel good. If you do breathe well, your chances of feeling good are greatly enhanced." ~ Dr. Gay Hendricks

The 90-minute DVD teaches the breathing techniques and the Audio CD leads you through sessions complete with instructions on how you can recover from emotional trauma, reduce stress and increase your energy levels. Through watching the DVD and listening to the CD, you can practice breathing techniques that move you away from fight-or-flight breathing to a more relaxed deep breathing that reduces stress.

The information in "The Breathing Box" explains why breathing is something you want to pay more attention to throughout your life and also helped me understand why doing exercise DVDs made me feel so much more relaxed and happy. If you have been doing Pilates or Yoga, you may recognize some of the breathing techniques. Breathing deeply can help you deal with anger, fear, grief, anxiety or sadness.

The benefits of using this Breathing Box will become immediately apparent. Not only do I feel more peaceful after breathing more deeply, the world seems to have a renewed clarity and I can focus more intensely on important objectives instead of distracting emotions. As you follow along with the exercises on the DVD, you can feel how your deeper breathing is making you more relaxed. You can then take these exercises and use them daily to continue the positive effects.

I find these exercises especially useful while sitting at the computer as they ease neck and shoulder tension and can give you an immediate relaxation escape.

As a therapist I am always looking for tools that people can use on their own...in their own time and in their own quiet place. I tried this for myself and am now using it on a regular basis for therapy. It is amazing how many people pay no attention at all to their breathing! It has worked for teens with test anxiety and learning problems, people with the severe anxiety that comes with PTSD, with body and abuse issues, panic atacks, migraines, or even stress in relationships...the list goes on and on. Thanks, Gay!
