Summary of Dan Brule's Just Breathe

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I was in the first grade at a Catholic school in New Bedford, Massachusetts, when I was exposed to the breath. I was smitten, and began to feel excitement at the thought that God was breathing into me. I couldn’t sit still, and I couldn’t shut up.

#2 I have drawn from many different schools and styles of breathing to create a unique and diverse program for breathing training. I am not saying I am like Bruce Lee, but we do share the willingness to think outside the box and the dedication to teach what we have learned to anyone willing to do the work.

#3 Breathwork is the use of Breath Awareness and Conscious Breathing for healing and growth, personal awakening, and transformation in spirit, mind, and body. It is a form of self-help, self-healing, and alternative medicine.

#4 There are five principles to breath therapy: the technique, the atmosphere in which it is practiced, the teacher, the mind of the breather, and the something else that makes a difference.

#4

There are five principles to breath therapy: the technique, the atmosphere in which it is practiced, the teacher, the mind of the breather, and the something else that makes a difference.

#5

There are two basic aspects to breathwork: Breath Awareness and Conscious Breathing. You can think of these as yin and yang, active and passive aspects of the practice.

#6

Breath Awareness is the practice of pure awareness applied to breathing. It is not thinking, not judging, not comparing, and not analyzing. You simply observe your breathing, watch it, and witness it.

#7

With practice, you will become more aware of your thoughts and images, feelings and sensations, perceptions and emotions. You will become more aware of your physical tensions, energetic contractions, habits, patterns, urges, reactions, and inner dialogue. But don’t judge
