Purposeful Breathing: Reset Your Mind, Improve Your Energy, Enhance Your Health

Intentionally changing the way you breathe is one of the simplest and yet most effective ways you can transform your life. In every moment we are breathing: when we feel ecstatic joy and when we feel anger, when we are stressed out and when we are calm. Each emotional state is associated with a particular style of breathing, patterns that we often fall into without knowing it. If we can learn to recognize these breathing patterns, we can consciously change our breath, and in doing so, change the feelings themselves. Thinking, feeling, and perceiving are all interconnected and embodied through the constant flow of the breath. Informed by psychology and neuroscience, this practical, approachable guide draws on simple teachings and daily breath exercises to help you move from an anxious state to a calm one, unlock your full potential, and promote long-term holistic health. Illustrated with 30 black and white photographs.
