Breathing As a Metaphor for Living: Teachings and Exercises on Complete and Natural Breathing

Summary: wrong title
Review: I agree with the first review in many ways, but I just didn't respond to the author as much. As far as breathing exercises I liked Nancy Zi's video better, if you can compare video to audio. My main complaint is that he doesn't go into the concept of "breathing as a metaphor for living" at all. I was really looking forward to expanded thoughts on breath/life. Spiritual thoughts. Mythicalthoughts. Anything. No go, just exercises and a bit of biology. It reminded me of begrudgingly doing scales during my childhood piano lessons.

Summary: Wonderful Tapes on Breathing and Living
Review: I really learned a lot from these tapes. Got many new insights into how the way we breathes mirrors and influences the way we live. The first tape is mainly a combination of breathing theory, research, and the author's insights, and the second tape has many excellent guided breathing and awareness exercises and meditations. The sound quality of the tapes is very good, and Lewis' voice, especially in the meditations, really helped me quiet down and come more into my body. I recommend these tapes for anyone who not only wants to learn the principles of good breathing, but who is also interested in living a freer, more-conscious life.
