Why buy a book on breathing when it's something you already do naturally? Most people take breathing for granted and think about it only when they are training for a sport or struggling with asthma. However, pollution, bad posture and tension are just a few of the elements that affect your breathing and, in so doing, affect your health as well. Breathe Better, Feel Better is an essential guide to learning how to control your breathing. It begins by explaining the function of the lungs and the process of breathing and how they link into the body's life force and into the mind. The first section, Learning to Breathe Again, introduces simple techniques for increasing energy, reducing tension, improving posture, handling stress, banishing depression and relaxing. Breathing for Health focuses on using breathing to improve or relieve specific problems ranging from jet lag and lack of sleep to headaches, colds, asthma and back pain. Breathing for Energy provides guidance on breathing for sports, singing and public speaking. The final section, Breathing and the Calm Mind, shows how gaining control over your breathing enables you to gain better control over your emotions and your life.
