Breathe. It is the most important thing that you do. It is the common denominator that touches every dimension of your life – mind, body and spirit. Every thought that passes through your mind, every word that you speak, every muscle you move, every beat of your heart depends on the steady flow of oxygen to every one of the 50 trillion cells in your body.

Although the breath is automatic, we can consciously control it. Modern science and thousands of years of experience have shown us that conscious control of the breath can lead to dramatic changes to your mind, body and emotions. It impacts your health, your ability to heal, your emotional intelligence and wellbeing, your mental, physical, and creative performance, as well as your spiritual experience.

Conscious breathing techniques are routinely used by fighter pilots, astronauts, elite climbers and divers, Olympic athletes, Zen archers, dancers, musicians, actors and performing artists, as well as healing professionals from every discipline, and spiritual seekers from all traditions.

Perfect Breathing: Transform Your Life One Breath at a Time can help lead you to this remarkable source of energy, awareness and health. Grounded in cutting edge science and research as well as fascinating interviews with renowned experts and peak-performers, Perfect Breathing shows you how you can easily take advantage of this powerful source of energy, awareness, and healing in your personal and professional life in just minutes a day.

      Starred review from January 5, 2009
      Writer Campbell and meditative coach Lee (a 25-year "conscious breathing" practitioner) blame rampant stress and information overload for ruining our bodies' most basic and most restorative coping mechanism: breathing. Even worse, they say, is trying to counteract that stress with "flimsy self-help advice and pills." In their place, the authors offer the mind-body tools needed to break bad breathing habits and recapture the respiratory power we're born with. Exercises like "the 6-second breath" aren't just quick and simple, they can provide relief from conditions like high blood pressure, anxiety, pain, and even asthma and premature aging. Skeptics may be turned off by repeated spiritual and religious references, but the authors' practical advice is suitable for almost anyone suffering pain or illness. For readers who find themselves skipping pages, the last section, "Between Death and Dying," is not to be missed; what the authors and a hospice worker have to say about breath and the dying process is so compelling, it may have skimmers taking a deep breath of their own before returning to the previous sections with a new attitude.
