The Tao of Natural Breathing: For Health, Well-Being and Inner
Growth
"Insightful in its breadth and simple in its presentation, The Tao of
Natural Breathing offers something new... Dennis Lewis presents practices that
are less about control and more about letting go. He gently entices us to allow
our conscious breath to become the teacher, the healer, and the expression of
our soul." --Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D., P.T., author of 30
Essential Yoga Poses
"The
small, comprehensive, exquisite book spreads before the reader the
knowledge and guided breathing experiences necessary to begin to return
to natural breathing. ... a beautiful exploration of breathing. ... Just
reading the book is a meditative experience."--Somatics
Magazine-Journal
"By the time you finish reading this delightful book, you will
probably be breathing in a new and more vital way. ... Through the
gentle, natural practices outlined in this book, we can all readily
overcome lifelong patterns of poor breathing..."--Nathaniel
Mead, Massage Therapy Journal
"The practical breathing exercises he presents here build in
complexity, though all are designed to return the reader to the
simplicity of conscious body experience. This holistic approach to
health is a welcome respite from the no-pain, no-gain variety of fitness
books."--Library Journal

Read The Tao of Natural Breathing to Reduce Stress, Improve Your
Health, Increase Your Energy, and Support Your Quest for Self-Knowledge
and Self-Transformation!
As babies and young children, most of us breathed freely
and naturally with our entire bodies. But our sedentary work
environments and life styles, along with the ever-increasing stress of
our busy lives, has conditioned many of us to shallow, constricted
breathing. Many of us breathe only in our upper chests, and this
undermines our health, decreases our vitality, and further increases our
mental and emotional stress.
The solution is "natural breathing." In this kind of
breathing we use the full range of movement in our lungs, diaphragm,
belly, and back--in fact, in our entire body--to inhale and exhale
freely and fully. Through natural, authentic breathing you can: reduce
stress, improve your health, increase your energy, and support your
quest for consciousness, self-knowledge, and self-transformation.
Learn how you can become conscious of your unhealthy breathing patterns
and integrate full, natural, healthy breathing into your life.
