Breathing-Problems Books

This tape teaches you how to focus and bring about a state of relaxation through verbal instruction combined with calming music.You will trully feel ready for sleep.

Since buying this audio tape, I listen to it frequently. I usually fall asleep before it is over, because either the progressive relaxation or the breathing works so fast to calm my body and mind. The production quality is excellent too. I would give it 10 stars if that were an option.

Last week I decided it was time to conquer my asthma, and so having heard about the success of the Buteyko Breathing Technique, I purchased this book. I am so grateful I did. I am now 2 days into the programme and the results are astonishing. The exercises take commitment and determination, but when I think of the health benefits for the rest of my life, it is nothing. This really works! That asthma (and many other ailments) are caused by chronic hyperventilation makes complete sense to me now that I am on the programme and really observing how I breathe. This book is essential reading for anyone who has an interest in holistic health and anyone who wants to improve their health - not just respiratory. Chronic Fatigue sufferers please take note - this is vital reading for you. Also anyone suffering from emphysema, panic attacks, overweight and even anorexia. Buteyko's discoveries could change the world - what a pity there is no money in it for the medical establishment or everyone would know about it. Read this book and spread the word.

Very Easy. Just listen, breathe and become healthier in every way. Simply match your breathing to the music and put your mind on autopilot. Your body and awareness does the rest. Feel noticable effects after only a couple of weeks.

I am impressed with your promptness and the condition of the books when they arrive.
Thank you,

I am a teacher and I read this book and would love if my school had Ruth Fishel teach us the principals behind her book. I am going to begin implimenting them myself,I know my students and I could use some stress reduction, how about yours?

Buy this book - you'll love it.

In "Hara, the Vital Centre of Man" Karlfried Graf Durekheim quotes a Japanese acquaintance "Chest out--belly in" a nation capable of taking this injunction as a general rule, is in great danger" I agree Michaek Grant White,"The Breathing Coach" breathmike@aol.com

This is a wonderful book. Well illustrated and easy in its approach, I have really benefitted from using it. The relaxation aspect that these techniques create have helped me to better cope with daily stresses. Bravo to Howard Kent. He knows what he's talking about.

Review of breathe BETTER feel BETTER The ancient Yogic axiom still applies. "Control your breathing and you control your life". The question remains. In what way do you control your life? So many people underbreathe that practically anything you do with the breath will improve someone's situation. That makes this book somewhat serviceable. There are some good exercises and suggestions. However the reverse breathing (belly goes in on the inhale) leaning of this book flies in the face of every martial art-non violent and violent, opera training, voice coaching, free diving and stress management technique I have ever heard of in 25 years of studying the breath. It is touting reverse breathing. It refers to Dr. Chandra Patel, who did the preface in the latest leading edge Respiratory Psychophysiology book and who I am surprised is allowing mention of her name, plus a leading Indian research institute, which obviously has a sympathetic nervous system bias relevant to the breathing cycle. It also states that learning some of these exercises will improve singing and pubic speaking. I guess maybe, someday, but in my experience, in a very weak way. Stress management yes. Because in the USA about 80% of illness is caused by stress That in itself is reason enough to do the practices and see if they work for you. I just think there are much better books around than this one. Donna Farhi's "The Breathing Book" for one. Conscious Breathing by Gay Hendricks another. Donna admits she taught Yoga for 20 years and didn't know how to breathe and Gay Hendricks at last contact can't sing. I told him I could teach him how. The benefits of each way of breathing very much make up how the culture thinks and feels about life. And the breathing styles are very different in the way they influence the nervous system. To deny the Hara or Tanden and its spiritual center including its keeyi (loud grunt at moment of impact), the Lower Tantien with its ability to maintain one "in the flow", or Wester Medical insights into the sacral aspect of the parasympathetic nervous system and its potentially simultaneously energixing and calming effects are a major oversight. To try and prove a reverse breathing theory with kinesiology is in my opinion stretching kinesiology's credibility and brings it unfair scrutiny. Whether you are stronger when you breathe in the ribs is, I believe, more about common weakness in the diaphragm and startle reflex accumulated tensions in the neck, throat, back, belly, rigidity in the pelvis and knees and lack of being totally in our feet Plus emotional and energetic issues surface in ways that challenge many to keep breathing MORE. Handle those and the breath naturally travels downward into its natural power and resonance. The key is WHAT to do about WHERE the blocks in the breathwave are". How do you assess an unbalanced breath? Specific self assessments, objective and subjective, exercises, stretches, postures, diet and a host of other factors make up what a full breath should be. I am addressing these in my book in progress. I suspect the insights stem largely from people recovering from catastrophic respiratory illness and so need to go very slowly. God bless them and let them do what feels right. For now. And I think I am allergic to the printers ink they used.

This is a rip-off. Manuel Ortiz Braschi published a book with the EXACT SAME NAME and the EXACT SAME CONTENT! WORD FOR WORD, LINE FOR LINE! PUBLISHED 1 DAY APART! One or both of these people are trying to cheat you!
