The Science of Breath: A Complete Manual of the Oriental Breathing Philosophy of Physical, Mental, Psychic and Spiritual Development (Aziloth Books)

Modern medical science and the ancient writings are as one on the importance of correct breathing as an aid to longevity and emotional stability. Unfortunately, this seemingly simple act - breathing - is something we all perform unconsciously, and few of us breathe correctly. In this classic book (first published in 1905) Yogi Ramacharaka provides a complete manual of Oriental breathing techniques, and reveals their associated benefits in physical, mental, psychic and spiritual development. If 'to breathe is to live', then this guide to yogic breath-control must be required reading for all who aspire to a 'healthy mind in a healthy body'.
