Calm Breath Calm Mind

<b>Discover ancient Tibetan breath practices for calming your mind and improving your health in this plain-English guide. </b> <p/>Over millennia many Eastern traditions have developed practices that use the powerful healing energy of breath to treat physical emotional and mental problems. In Chinese this energy is called <i>chi</i>; in Sanskrit it is called <i>prana</i>; and in Tibetan it is called <i>lung</i>. <p/> <i>Lung</i> is life-giving energy that moves through our bodies. A lack or imbalance of <i>lung</i> can create illnesses of body and mind or cause emotional struggles such as confusion anger and sadness. In this book Geshe YongDong Losar a scholar and monk in the ancient Bön tradition of Tibet guides us through time-tested practices to help balance our <i>lung</i>. His deep knowledge--garnered through years of study and practice--renders the practices simple and achievable creating a clear path for us toward greater calmness strength and clarity. <p/> Over and over I have personally witnessed both in myself and in my students the breath's clear potential to heal and deeply transform lives. I truly believe that in the future such practices will play an important role as a medicine for preventing and treating physical emotional and mental maladies. I am glad that Geshe YongDong is making these practices widely available and I'm sure that by doing so he is bringing benefit to countless lives.<br> --from the foreword by Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
