Jack Angelo is a well-known healer and teacher of subtle energy medicine and natural spirituality who has worked with individuals and groups for more than 25 years. In this wide-ranging resource on the art of breathing he shares 57 conscious exercise and visualization practices. He is convinced that breathwork can alleviate stress and anxiety, increase calm sleeping, open the doors to more creativity, promote emotional calm, bolster energy, enrich meditation, exorcise negativity, and provide support for physical healing.
We start and end our life with breath and it plays a major role in our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The life force is accentuated in the Chinese, Japanese, and Indian religious traditions. It also is a spiritual signpost in shamanism, Buddhism, and Sufism. We were especially impressed with Angelo's breathwork exercises (see the practice below) including ones on breathing in the Earth's energy, breathing to open your mind, preparing yourself for chanting and prayer, and sending peace to the seven directions.
