Healing Breath

On a Galilean hillside in the early morning hours, Jesus met with a privileged few-the dispossessed, the afflicted, the poor, and the troubled-to offer one of his most beloved and uplifting talks: the Beatitudes, or "Blessed are" sayings. With these simple yet profound spoken truths, he opened the door to a miraculous way of healing both the body and spirit, and showed how this very moment-no matter how difficult-is the right time to experience the full promise of God's blessings. On The Healing Breath, author and teacher Neil Douglas-Klotz guides you into the heart of Jesus' language, insights, and culture to help you access the great healer's path to wholeness and fulfillment. In Jesus' time, the breath was recognized as the ultimate power behind the cosmos. Central to the healing process, it was seen as our first and last possession-the natural rhythm of life, and our link to the divine and all of creation. With The Healing Breath, you will learn 24 authentic "body prayers" as Jesus first taught them, incorporating breath, sound, and gentle movement to help you find "your home in the breath" as a link to the Beatitudes ... connect to the spirit of Jesus ... and tap the healing energy that came through him.
