Hendricks is the author of over 20 books in the field of education, transpersonal psychology, and centering, including Conscious Breathing, The Centering Book, Learning to Love Yourself, and At the Speed of Life. His work has also been mentioned or reviewed in numerous magazines and newspapers, including Self, GQ, Psychology Today, Yoga Journal, USA Today, and the Edmonton Journal.

From AudioFile

Breathing, we're told, has an intimate connection with sex because it's such a central function of the body and because it's so entwined with spirit and the realm of relatedness. The author, a therapist and general student of mind-body principles, is an articulate but pedantic speaker who explains his ideas with exquisite, at times obsessive, precision. Conceptually, he covers every aspect of healthy and unhealthy breathing, especially as it relates to anxiety and past trauma. The segments on chakra balance are great, the physical exercise recommendations clear. Though fascinating, this is a decidedly physical approach to sex, which doesn't address the impact of interpersonal issues on sexual pleasure.
