AUTHENTIC BREATHING FOR HEALTH & SELF-TRANSFORMATION

 

Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA: June 16-21

 

The great mystical poet Rumi wrote: " There is one way of

breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then there's another

way: a breath of love that takes you all the way to infinity. "

 

Come enjoy Big Sur's (California) expansive beauty--and

experience your own " boundless breath " --at Esalen Institute where

Dennis Lewis will be giving a five-day workshop/retreat entitled

" Authentic Breathing for Health & Self-Transformation. " The

workshop, which is the only long breathing retreat that he plans

to offer this year, will run from Sunday June 16 through Friday

June 21, 2002. CEU's for nurses are available.

 

To breathe is to live. To breathe fully is one of the conditions

of living fully. Unfortunately, most of us do not breathe fully.

We have lost the dynamic, healthful power of natural, full-body

breathing that we had as babies and young children. For most of

us in our busy, stress-filled lives, our breathing is generally

so " shameful and constricted " that it undermines our health, our

vitality, and our consciousness.

 

Using ideas and practices from his book (published in eight

languages) " The Tao of Natural Breathing: For Health, Well-Being

and Inner Growth, " his more-recent audio program from Sounds True

" Breathing as a Metaphor for Living, " and his new book in

progress " Boundless Breathing: Teachings, Exercises, and

Meditations for Health & Self-Transformation, " Dennis Lewis will

lead participants on a journey into the physiology, psychology,

and spirituality of natural, boundless breathing. Through simple

but powerful self-awareness, qigong, chanting, and breathing

practices, as well as " Liangong in 18 Exercises " (a qigong form

that can help open up the internal breathing spaces of the body),

participants will learn how to integrate natural, whole-body

breathing into their lives to support their overall health and

their quest for self-knowledge and self-transformation.
