The Breath Holds the Key to All Healing
Thousands of years ago, great Hindu yogis and Chinese sages developed powerful
systems of breath control which they used for mastering fear, healing illness
and attaining the state of enlightenment. These ancient sciences possess such
remarkable powers, because they tap into the spiritual life-force that gives
our breath its life-sustaining powers. The Hindus call this life-force Prana;
the Chinese call it Chi. Hebrews called it the Breath of Life; Christians call
it the Holy Spirit.
Andy Caponigro, internationally known as a "master of breath," is
a former concert guitarist who has been healing people with the powers of the
breath since the mid-1970's. In this book he reveals the innermost secrets of
breath control. The Miracle of the Breath is a complete and self-contained instruction
manual for learning to master the science of breath. It provides an integral
system of breathing techniques that will enable you to immediately begin using
this ancient knowledge for healing your mind and body and entering into communion
with God as the spiritual life-force that dwells in your breath.
