Breathwork: A 3-Week Breathing Program to Gain Clarity, Calm, and Better Health

Valerie Moselle is very passionate about the benefits of breath techniques for everyone and writes in such a way as to make the benefits and techniques understandable for the beginner. The book talks about limitations participants may have and encourages health care professionals input, then after a brief overview proceeds to a day by day program which teaches a variety of techniques which do require practice and developing new muscle memory to be effective. This is not a three week and you’re done with it program, but rather one that will only reach its potential, if you continue to make it a part of your daily routine. I’m hoping it will assist me in transitioning to further development in Yoga as conveyed in the book “Relaxing into Yoga for Seniors.” The two seemingly hold great potential to compliment each other.

This is not a simple how to, with one, two, three steps to breathing better. No, this is a workbook designed for you to work through several times a day for a period of twenty-one days. It is not a book you sit down and read. It is not a book you pick up in the evening to put you to sleep. It is a book for you to use to make your life better.As the author points out. “Going, going, going without stopping, the way so many of us live our lives, does not allow for introspection. Whether during the poignant moments between breaths or during the longer pauses after practice, Breathworks can awaken you to yourself, others, nature, and your sense of purpose.What could be better? Don’t we all want to be able to be in touch with ourselves, others, nature, and most important of all, why we are here?For three weeks the author takes the reader on a journey of self-awareness through the art of breathing. I, for one, did not realize there were so many different ways to breath. Nor that each way, produces a different reaction within the body. I thought you took air in and let it out, sometimes faster and sometime slower. But that is not all there is to this breathing thing. It is at the same time much more complicated and easier. Moselle brings her years of training to bear on our behalf showing us how to do each step. And in so doing helps us become more focused and aware of what is happening within and without.If you want to calm your anxieties, breath better, open your awareness, and even get in touch with your emotions, Moselle shows you how, one step at a time, one day at a time.

The author gives practical lessons to breathe better and increase the reader's ability to develop the resulting breathing improvements in daily living. Gives understanding of a natural process we may not use as fully as we could.

None of your business

Great Resource. I teach a course in Breathwork in Chapel Hill, NC and found the book to be practical and easy to follow.YogaJan, YogaforBoomersAndSeniors.com

I'm interested in learning to breath through my mouth when I'm asleep in an attempt to cure sleep apnea.

As described

As someone who has several family members with respiratory illnesses, breathing is not taken for granted in my family. So I was excited to find a book that used proper breathing not just as a way to ensure good health, but also as a tool to relax and center yourself as a person. This book provides a three week course to the reader to learn proper breathing and use breathing techniques to support good health, including helping with insomnia, reducing asthma side effects and helping to relieve stress. The course will help the reader focus and gain additional strength, but also reduce stress and help cope with everyday life and its hickups.Overall, a recommend this book to readers that are interested in natural remedies and especially to readers that looking for ways to reduce stress and anxiety in their lives.I received a free copy from the publisher.

The exercises are very useful and can be done by almost all. It helped me overcome my lower back pain
