so important to our wellbeing, breathing is life itself. Lovely little book but contains so much information and guidance. Will re read again as I would like to understand more about reiki. The flow of the book is really easy to follow and simply explained for everyone. Thank you #NetGalley for the audiobook to review.

Amazing and tips I’ll be putting into action. This insightful guide for beginners will show you everything you need to know to nourish yourself from the inside out... all with the power of your breath. Inside, you’ll discover:

A breath of fresh air! This was a pleasant audiobook based on breath and breathing works. Discussing religions, the history of, mantras, Qigong and Reiki (my passion). I'm a Reiki Practitioner and not enough people understand what Reiki is and what we do, in particular the five precepts we follow, For today: I will not worry, I will not be angry, I will be honest, I will be compassionate and I will be humble. Ofcourse its easier said than done to not worry, we are hunan after all but where do we get ourselves by worrying? Using the breath work, we can reduce anxiety thus preventing stress and anger.
The audio looks at insecurities in relationships, manipulative relationships etc and I think what they are trying to point out is that breath work can control stresses and strains and help you to see clearly, possibly using meditation which is quite right.
Don't knock it before you try it!
If you are into this type of thing you will love it!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced Audiobook in return for an honest review.

Thank you netgalley for an advanced ARC of this book

While listening to the audiobook I enjoyed listening to the information given about stuff, especially chapter 2 where you learn about religions and beliefs as well as how breathing is so important in all these different cultures. I think this book is good for people who want to learn about how important Breath is in healing and cultures/religions around the world, I am interested in starting mediation so this gave me more info to do that with + I am on a Inner healing journey but I didn't see much to do with child inner healing... but in chapter 3 the exercises there are good to do and I am going to make some of them apart of my daily habit.

For beginners of wanting to start mediation I do this this book would be good to read

This was interesting but it doesn't seem to be what it was advertised. It sounded like it was going to be tips and exercises for healing, but it was mostly going back through different disciplines that use breathing as a technique. And the history and descriptions were interesting but not as helpful as I'd hoped. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me listen to this

This is deeply soothing listen and I recommend it! I've always been curious about how breath work can help me in my daily life. As a C-PTSD survivor, I find this book so incredibly empowering

This books contains many different breath work patterns useful for calming one’s self and clearing one’s mind. Will you with family, schools, and in therapeutic practice.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC audio in exchange for my honest opinion.

I read a few books on the healing science of breathwork and I began practicing one of many techniques that are available. Its been six months and the practice has helped me physically and emotionally. I needed it for a stressful issue that I been dealing with for a lifetime, but incorporating Breath Practice with my meditation daily had given me great results. It really is amazing how our breath can really help with stress and other situations. I recommend this book and strongly encourage everyone to incorporate breathwork into their self-care routine. I hope folks are willing to invest in their well being with these holistic practices. #Netgallery

A good overview of ways to get oneself regulated. As a heads-up for people with religious trauma in their backgrounds or who just do not find Christian references helpful to achieving a state of calm: you probably want to avoid the Religion & Breath chapter (the 2nd chapter) as it has some pretty significant Christian guidance. The rest of the book is secular and mostly an exploration of how East Asian cultures (particularly Japan) facilitate their calm using breathing techniques. I looked the author up to make sure this wasn't a white person exoticizing other cultures for profit; the author is Japanese and immigrated to the U.S. so this is an example of sharing cultural heritages in authentic ways as best as I can tell. I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator (to my English-only-fluent ears, though I live in a multilingual household where Cantonese and Mandarin are both heard constantly) did well with the pronunciations of the East Asian words (there were Chinese, Japanese, and a few from India as well as maybe a couple other languages mixed in that I'm forgetting). Audio production was very good and I'm hoping that the pronunciations were all accurate.

This audiobook is a great tool in the journey of healing our inner child. It was informative and I really enjoyed the practices. I found myself feeling much more centered by doing them. It’s helpful to just even be reminded of the importance of mindful breathing.

My only complaint is that there was something a little robotic about the narrators voice. All in all, I feel like this is a positive addition to anyone’s healing experience.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy.

I'm always looking for more resources on healing my inner child. I was impressed with this audiobook about the topic. The narrator's voice was spot on for this type of subject. I managed to learn so much about breath work and ways to use it for healing. Thanks to NetGalley for the recording in exchange for my honest review. Five stars!

This book was informative and really makes you think. Breathing is something we all do. All day every day. We overlook it and take advantage of its importance. As someone who has panic attacks you learn the importance of taking a nice slow deep breath as you try to focus on anything other then the panic attack. I love that this book goes threw different practice that focus on the importance of breath and how doing something so simple mindfully can change our lives. I enjoyed hearing how other practices use breath work. I will definitely be looking into some of these practices more.
