It’s O.K. I would have preferred this CD to be in a book format instead of a soundtrack. It would have been less expensive to buy and easier to use that way. The first CD, which is one hour long talks about breathing & health but I really didn’t find it interesting or informative. I was rather bored. I thought everything he said was common sense and there was no fresh information. Basically this first CD is a one-time listening thing, so not really worth the purchase. My problem with the second CD, which has the 7 breathing exercises, is that it’s one hour long and there is no way to “jump” between exercises 1 to 7. It is all one track. In the accompanying 6-page CD booklet all the exercises are very clearly explained and detailed in text… so you don’t really need the CD at all! On the up side, I’m glad there are exercises out there on this subject that Dr.Weil made available to me. I have not been doing the exercises long enough to notice any changes yet.
Excellent Guide Breathing Techniques and Stress Reduction! Some may think that it’s ridiculous to have a program about breathing. We all do it right? For those of us who take breathing for granted, there is a Zen tale about a young monk who complains to his master that “meditating on the breath is boring”. So the master grabs the student, holds him under water plenty long enough to make his point and then looks at the student and asks “Do you still think the breath is boring? “…. Let’s just say that this fellow had a change of heart (and took a nice deep breath) 🙂 While this program isn’t specifically a meditation program the point still remains. While it’s obvious that all of us who are alive are already breathing and have been doing so our whole lives, our breathing can be either unconscious or conscious. Likewise we can either choose to live unconsciously or consciously as well. It is to the conscious control of the breath this program deals with and if practiced regularly it can likely affect your…
good intro to something I never thought much about I never really thought much about my breathing but finding out what Andrew Weil says, in conjunction with going to a yoga class where they really emphasize proper breathing, has woken me up to how much this affects my life. The book “Science of Breath” by Swami Rama is also an excellent resource – very highly recommend it. In the short time I’ve been working with simple breathing exercises I’ve noticed dramatic effects – stress seems not to affect me as much!
