Using straightforward jargon-free language, BREATHE presents Dr. Belisa s unique approach to breathing exercises. It is a book for people who are looking to address their fatigue, sleeping problems, anxiety, and stress all of which are worsened by shallow, erratic inefficient breaths and, consequently, suboptimal oxygenation of the body and brain at a cellular level. In addition, the exercises and theory taught in BREATHE will result in better endurance in sports. You ll be taking care of yourself from the inside out. Dr. Belisa s method teaches you to relearn or remember how you used to breathe rather than teach you a skill requiring the attention and motivation that it takes to acquire a new habit. Dr. Belisa asks you put aside ten minutes a day for fourteen days, working from your baseline, and pushing yourself just as you would in a gym or in physical therapy. The result: more energy, less pain, lower cortisol (and control of belly fat), less GI problems, and a better immune system. The explosion of technology, longer hours spent seated at a desk or car, and high levels of daily stress everyone accepts as normal have had a tremendous effect on the way people breathe. This in turn has created or exacerbated medical problems such as high blood pressure, irritable bowel, and insomnia. BREATHE is a primer that covers all the critical core issues related to oxygen, your lungs, and your breathing patterns. It teaches you how to breathe in an anatomically congruous way that maximizes inhales and exhales, lung expansion, and ribcage flexibility. Finally, BREATHE is perfect for someone wanting to explore concepts of mindfulness and meditation. If you are looking to improve such brain functions as focusing and problem solving, or if you just want to relax and rejuvenate by quickly ridding yourself of oxidative stress of the day, this book is for you.

Review

This book combines life-changing information in an easy to read way. The writing and descriptions are so fluid. If you want to read the footnotes you can -- I am the type who loves the brainy information they contained, but not everyone does. You finish it wondering why something that is so important and so effectively changes our health for the better has not been focused on in this way, until now. In the 14 days I committed to BREATHE, my energy, concentration and overall mood changed significantly. --Anthony Phillps

No nonsense, how-to-feel-better advice that immediately gave me a renewed sense of how I can energize my body and calm my mind. While my background in law enforcement and martial arts made me aware of how important breathing is, BREATHE answered the why and how in a practical approachable way. I ve recommended BREATHE to my family and friends as an invaluable way of gaining control of one s health. --Steve Kardian

Mind blowing and practical! As someone who has never been able to sit still for too long and has a hard time relaxing no matter how tired she is, BREATHE was mind blowing in that it taught me how to pause and take inventory of my body. The chatter in my brain has lessened, I can get myself to go to sleep at night, and I feel centered in a way I never have before. Intuitively I knew breathing could do this, but this book holds the practical steps to get there. --Melissa Hobley

5.0 out of 5 stars A life-changer and priceless guide
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2014

Many dysfunctions in the body and nervous system can be related to abnormal and dysfunctional breathing. Conditions including anxiety, panic attacks, poor sleep patterns, fatigue, muscle cramps, exaggerated startle response, and brain fog can all be related to the way we breathe. Reshaping and retraining the way you breathe can improve functions of the brain and nervous system, improve blood health, reduce the "fight or flight" response in the body, and improve immune function. As a functional neurologist, I have found Dr. Belisa's BREATHE to be a priceless guide not only for my patients who suffer from these issues, but for those who search for greater alertness and invigoration.

Great concept! I found it difficult to follow her instructions to achieve the results I believe are possible. I'll bet a class would be tremendously helpful. But, I'm hanging in there with it and trying hard to understand exactly how she wants us to breathe. I would definitely recommend the book, but be prepared to put a little bit of time into understanding this promising concept.

This is a great book to read if you're exploring how breathing influences your mental state and athletic performance. It is a short and quick read that doesn't go too heavily into the science of it all. If you are a busy person and want just want the "how to" this book is perfect for you. This is a great book to add to add to anyone's library.

I've attended Dr. Vranich's breathing classes at a conference so I knew I had to have this book. It is worth it. the exercises she describes in this book take me to a new level of my breathing practice and it has helped me reduce my stress and relax more. She goes into detail on why it works, and does a great job explaining how to do each exercise. Excellent book, I highly recommend it.

I actually bought it for my room mate, who has an anxiety issue, after I was fortunate enough to attend one of Dr. Belisa's sessions. Just working through the first few chapters my room mate has been able to get to sleep every night for the last two weeks without having to take sleeping pills! She's now working through the rest of the book and I am really glad I ordered it.

It's a very good book and a short book that gets specific and detailed with common sense explanations. However, it is still hard to follow some of the exercises without a video tutorial to make sure I am doing it right. Maybe, they could include an e-book for sale with video attached.

I can't say enough good things about Belisa. She's a real pro in a culture of pseudo-experts. Belisa is doing solid and truly helpful work. Her work on breathing helped me with sleep, anxiety, clear thinking, it enhanced my yoga practice and I recommend it to everyone.

Read this book, do the exercises and throw away your Prozac and Ambien!
