“Clear, simple, powerful. . . . The ideas in this book—and Dr. Belisa’s techniques—are a revelation.” —Jason Fine, managing editor, Rolling Stone

Insomnia? Gone. Anxiety? Gone. All without medication. Unpleasant side effects from blood pressure pills? Gone. A cheap and effective way to combat cardiovascular disease, immune dysfunction, obesity, and gastrointestinal disorders? Yes. Sound too good to be true? Believe it.

Contemporary science confirms what generations of healers have observed through centuries of practice: Breath awareness can turn on the body’s natural abilities to prevent and cure illness. The mental and physical stresses of modern life, such as high blood pressure, sexual dysfunction, digestive woes, anxiety, frustration, insomnia, and immune dysfunction can all be addressed through conscious control of your breath. In addition, proper breathing can increase energy, accelerate healing, improve cognitive skills, and enhance mental balance.

Dr. Vranich shows readers how to turn back the tide of stress and illness, and improve the overall quality of their lives through a simple ten-minute daily workout. Breathe combines anatomy and fitness with psychology and mindfulness and gives readers tools to heal themselves from the inside out, one deep breath at a time, with easy-to-follow exercises that will increase energy and mental clarity and make readers feel calmer and happier.
