The Art of Breathing: A Course of Six Simple Lessons to Improve Performance and Well Being - Softcover
Synopsis
According to the ancient Chinese discipline of chi kung (pronounced chee gung), the body's energy is released by the air breathed into it. Zi, a classically trained American singer raised in China, has adapted that idea in an intriguing method she calls chi zi. (Chi means breath, breathing or air.) Her premise is that controlled breathing can create new sources of life-enhancing energy. In six concise, uncomplicated lessons she shows how to tap into that energy through a range of exercises (accompanied by line drawings), imagery and situational applications. Her techniques for using the body's inner dynamics (the Chinese "core") will be especially valuable in relieving stress, building stamina and engaging in sports.

From the Publisher
THE ART OF BREATHING quickly became a standard classic following publication of its first edition in 1986. The book may be used alone or with its 90-minute companion video or DVD with lesson based interactive menus.
From the Author
Breath is life! Breathing is our most important act because we do it every moment of our lives, some 20,000 times each day. We are born breathing correctly but many people have become shallow breathers. Because of my bicultural upbringing, education, and experience, I have been able to combine age-old inwardly oriented Eastern disciplines with outward results-oriented Western techniques into an easy-to-learn system of abdominal deep breathing where most anyone can achieve better health, vitality, and performance.
