This short, friendly eBook begins with the author's discoveries with breathing, from zen breath exercises in the 80s, massage school education about breathing in the 90s, a discovery while jogging in 2005, and the discovery of how breath can alkalize the blood in 2010. 14,480 words and 26 original images. The body of the book explains the mechanics of inhaling and exhaling, giving you little sitting exercises to try what you are learning. Then you'll learn how oxygen and carbon dioxide are picked up and dropped off by hemoglobin, which are like little taxicabs (with a cute drawing), to explain how exhaling more alkalizes your blood. An actual pH test before and after a 35-minute breath exercise is shown. Finally you will learn about the spirituality of breathing naturally. The exercises each contain a stage where you are controlling breath, then allowing your subconscious to naturally take over. One appendix on breathing for runners. About 50 pages.
