Take a deep breath and get lost in this illustrated guide to the transformative power of breathing combining inspiration, instruction, and amazing illustrations to create a one-of-a-kind book about the popular practice of breath work.
Breathing happens.
All day long you are sustained by the movement of air in and out of your lungs. Because it’s a natural function most people don’t give much thought to it. But when you consciously engage your breath, incredible things can happen.
Filled with vibrant art, meaningful quotes, practical exercises, and lighthearted humor, Breathe Deep stokes the curious mind and inspires a deeper relationship with the power of breath.
Drawing upon both ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, Breathe Deep delves into the mechanics of respiration and the proven physical and emotional benefits of conscious breathing. As a bridge that unites body and mind, breath work is a powerful tool that can be used to calm anxiety and transform limiting mindsets.
What’s incredible about breathing is that even though it happens automatically, it can also be regulated intentionally. Unlike other automatic functions in the body—like digestion and heart rate—you can consciously choose to control your breath. Amazingly, this, in turn, affects other bodily systems. The heart, brain, nervous system, digestive system, and immune system all have been scientifically proven to be impacted by controlled breathing.
For thousands of years in both China and India, various spiritual, medical, and martial arts traditions have taught that all of existence is permeated by an eternal vital life force. In Chinese philosophy, this force is referred to as “chi,” while in Indian philosophy and yogic practice, it’s called “prana.” Breathwork is one technique used to harness and draw upon this energy in the human body in order to promote health, longevity, and wisdom.
