“Take a deep breath.” “Just breathe.” Common calming mantras, but what do they really mean? Though every second of life is governed by breath, few people pay heed to this important facet of good health. The Miracle of the Breath explores the importance of breath not only to physical well being but as a main conduit of divine energy. Replete with stories and case studies of people healed from asthma, arthritis, anxiety attacks, and other physical and mental traumas through proper breath work, the book also examines the concept of breath as a spiritual life force. Drawing on methods of breath control developed by ancient masters in India, China, and Tibet, readers learn how to use meditations and practice techniques to improve emotional and spiritual health.

Review
“It is no accident that the world’s great wisdom traditions focus on the breath and that our word spirit is related to breathing. Attending to the breath is a gateway to not only greater wisdom but also better health. The Miracle of the Breath is an admirable guide that will aid anyone wishing to explore the intersection of consciousness, spirituality, health, and breath work.” — Larry Dossey, MD, author of Reinventing Medicine and Healing Words “Andy Caponigro is a grand master of breath. He has a genius for teaching us that healing is something we already have inside.” — Bija Bennett, MA, yoga therapist and author of Breathing into Life “In yoga it is said, ‘Master of breath is master of life.’Andy Caponigro is truly a master of breath. I would highly recommend that other health care professionals learn this work and teach their own clients.” — Abbas Qutab, MD, founder, Elan Vital Medical Center

The best book on the subject I've read.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Miracle of the Breath: Mastering Fear, Healing Illness, and Experiencing the Divine (Paperback)
Andy Caponigro in very simple and understandable manner describes very complicated techniques. Instructions are clear, thoughtful, honest and helpful. I found in it the new way thinking of pranayama. For the first time I understood that some techniques and methods work only in meditative mode. The book is pleasurable to reed. It I tried only basic techniques so far and they work very well, just as described in the book.

This review is from: The Miracle of the Breath: Mastering Fear, Healing Illness, and Experiencing the Divine (Paperback)
I consider this book to be highly valuable, as a result of the fact that it seems to present such an extraordinary array of profound ideas. Similarly, it is an easy and very interesting read ... and one finds that one can hardly wait, to try and practice all of the exercises contained within it.
The exercises themselves are amazing, due to the fact that they seem to do exactly what they are supposed to do...and also, because the effects are so immediate and substantial. I love books, read quite a bit .... and consider this book to be something very special! It seems to be an incredible resource regarding the subject of "breath".

Tarzan Breath feels great!,

This review is from: The Miracle of the Breath: Mastering Fear, Healing Illness, and Experiencing the Divine (Paperback)
As a Yoga teacher I am always looking for things that concern pranayama. The breathing techniques in this book are wonderful. The Tarzan breath changed some wiring in my brain. It looks funny, though.
