The Art of Allowing: The Breath in Meditation and in Life

Breathing is not something that we ever need to do - we need only allow it to happen inside us. The breath is never `my breath' - it does not belong to us. It is in some way greater than us, and it brings us life. This is a conviction that has slowly grown on the author through almost forty years of practicing body prayer and meditation. As well as offering a series of exercises in deepening your skills in breathing, this book covers the constructive use of breathing in movement, healing, stillness and general well being. ""Because of the author's emphasis on gentleness, naturalness, ease, these exercises can do much to make one award of God's sustaining and intimate presence.""-Review for Religious
