Rating: Summary: Don't Waste Your Money! Review: Filled with stories and not much substance. The author namedrops Andrew Weil's name ("Andy") early on and pronounces, not suprisingly, that Andy thinks breathing is real important. The book is filled with lots of half-empty pages, so trees are a big loser, too. Summary: lots of fluff but not much information!
Rating: Summary: VIDEO CASSETTE--Conscious Breathing Review: Hello: I don't know if Amazon sells the VIDEO but I have a copy of the VHS Conscious Breathing and I find it to be very helpful when stressed. It reminds me to slowdown my breathing to allow maximum belly breath. I feel much calmer and clearer after I do the lessons on the tape. You do focus breathing and learn techniques that will help you to get that oxygen thru out the body. We breathe from our chests these days instead of from deep down--STRESS! Take care now!!
Rating: Summary: Profound Tool To Faciliate Healing Review: In 1996 ago I attended two one-week sessions with the Gaye and Katie Hendricks in Santa Barbara, CA. It was an important transformational experience for me and helped me more fully appreciate some basic foundations of healing. Over the years I transitioned to more effective strategies involving energy medicine but still find most of their work to be valid and helpful.One of the more important parts of their work, and the one that I still teach in our office is breathing. I give out Gaye's book to all the students in our course. It is a profoundly powerful, simple and inexpensive method of healing. This book is a useful tool in learning the breath work that can be profoundly helpful in lowering stress tension and anxiety. The nice thing about breathing, is unlike supplements, you never run out of it or have to rush to the health food store to replenish your supply. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: I get the feeling the author wrote these reviews. Review: Suggestions if you want to waste your money on this book. 1. Skip pages 1 -60 useless, boring, information about the author. 2. Read only areas that are in bold. These are the exercises. 3. Skip all the filler. It is about the author lending no interest, content, inspiration, etc. to the book. 4. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. THIS APPEARS TO BE NOTHING BUT A PRODUCTION AUTHOR WHO CRANKS THESE THINGS OUT EVERY FEW MONTHS. Its as if he wrote the whole thing in a day. The exercises are just rehashed from other people's books and videos.

Rating: Summary: Gentle Reminder and Useful Text for Years Review: The exercises in this book have been beneficial during stressful times for years ... and included is a great 10-minute sequence of three exercises for daily preventive maintenance and self care. The commentary is helpful, not fluff at all, the instructions are easy to follow, and the illustrations of people doing the exercises are very clear. For a more advanced book on the breath, you might also want to take a look at The Tao of Natural Breathing by Dennis Lewis.
Rating: Summary: Gentle Reminder and Useful Text for Years Review: This book is well thought out and well written with chock full of useful techniques to use to de-stress. The book even contains diagrams so that you can see exactly how to breathe correctly using Hendrick's technique. I took this book out at the library to check it out but now I'm going to buy it definitely. It's something I want to have around all the time so I can remind myself of the breathing I want to be doing. It really helped relax my entire body physically and mentally. I recommend it highly.
