I have studied a number of breathing practices (pranayama and taoist Qigong) but I found that this book was succinct and clear in its exposition (great editor!) and the practices are gentle but quite powerful. They are helpful for someone like me that needs a bit of structure in their practice, rather than being told just to sit and "follow my breathing".
I especially liked its emphasis on the chakras which one can hopefully begin to experience first hand, rather than as theoretical constructs. The DVD was very helpful also as I was able to see the hand positions rather than figure out the description in words. I have been recommending this to my friends and am keen to look at some of his other works on sound meditation and dreams.
Don't be dissuaded by the scanned pages for the "look inside", there are a lot of practices with diagrams, with different emphases, beyond the theory. Whoever had the bright idea of scanning 5 pages of blank pages meant for "Practice Notes" obviously wasn't doing their job with mindfulness...
