Perfect breathing is the powerful marriage of breath awareness and conscious breathing. The most difficult aspect of conscious breathing is the "conscious" part. Breath awareness informs and advises us so that we can consciously and intentionally shape our life and experience. Without breath awareness, our breathing is "unconscious" and the opportunities to direct the power of our breath and intention are never presented to us.

In our book, "Perfect Breathing: Transform Your Life One Breath at a Time," we explore the intimate interplay between our breath and the four dimensions of our existence - the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. We've shown that by developing breath awareness, you can enter into a new level of clarity and control over each facet of your life. Breath awareness is the first and most important step toward Perfect Breathing.

Each day that you remember to utilize this innate power you will receive its benefits and slowly but surely supplant the habits that have taken hold over the years. If you are like us (and most other people we know), you don't have the time to take on another demanding, time-consuming practice that requires additional commitments or sacrifice. The good news is that the habit of unconscious breathing readily gives way to the immediately pleasing, calming, and beneficial effects of deep, slow, conscious inspiration. Your body quickly remembers how - and just how good it feels. By following the simple program detailed below, the seed of this dormant memory will germinate and begin to grow - steadily replacing the old habits.
