Summary

Breathing

By: Andrew Weil, M.D.

Narrarated by: Andrew Weil, M.D.

The health you enjoy today, and for the rest of your life, begins with your next breath. In fact, breathing is so crucial to your body's ability to heal and sustain itself that Dr. Andrew Weil says: If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly.

On Breathing: The Master Key to Self Healing, listeners will learn a complete course of eight breathing exercises that Dr. Weil uses in his own life, and has prescribed to hundreds of patients over the past two decades. Dr. Weil reports that these breathing exercises get more favorable response from patients than anything else he teaches.

To learn the art of healthy breathing, Dr. Weil turned to Eastern traditions, including yoga, which view the breath as a vital link to the prana, or energy of the universe. In easy-to-follow language, he explains the secret of breathwork's power over your health, and its remarkable ability to influence — and even reprogram — the nervous system. From increasing energy — to lowering blood pressure — to improving circulation — to beating anxiety disorders without drugs — Breathing is a practical introduction to the benefits of breathwork, presented by the bestselling author and physician who has taken the miracle out of self healing, and made it available to all.

The wise, fuzzy Papa Smurf of New Age teaches you to stop thinking and start breathing
Breathing: Inhale. Exhale. Repeat. Right? Well, yes and no. Andrew Weil, the wise, fuzzy Papa Smurf of New Age, thinks you could be getting more out of your respiratory habits. For years he’s been prescribing yoga-inspired breathing exercises in his private practice, with a variety of intended outcomes: increased vigor, accelerated healing, improved circulation, decreased anxiety, lowered blood pressure. Weil lays out eight easy methods for getting the most out of your breathing, talking you through them in that gentle, graceful baritone. You know you’re in for an interesting ride when you find yourself thinking of nothing but your breath. Don’t alter it, he says, just observe your normal patterns. It sounds so simple, but once you get into it and block everything else from your mind, well, it’s kind of trippy. Sit down, light a candle and give Weil a shot. Do not practice his exercises walking to work. I almost stepped into traffic, so absorbed was I in my own respiration. That would have been one over-examined last breath.
