The Hindu-Yogi Science Of Breath

William Walter Atkinson

Book Overview: 

Increase your awareness about the forgotten art of breathing as researched, practiced and written by our Eastern brothers. Inside you will find how our Western society has perhaps forgotten the proper way to breath, hence leaving us more susceptible to disease and poor health. This book explains in layman's terms what happens inside our bodies when we inhale and then exhale. And the effects improper breathing has on both our internal and external extremities. It describes nature's proximity for the respiratory, and circulatory systems. The final sections include invaluable Yogi breathing exercises for increased breathing awareness and better health. Salaam.

When the oxygen comes in contact with the blood, it unites with the hemoglobin of the blood and is carried to every cell, tissue, muscle and organ, which it invigorates and strengthens, replacing the worn out cells and tissue by new materials which Nature converts to her use. Arterial blood, properly exposed to the air, contains about 25 per cent of free oxygen.

Not only is every part vitalized by the oxygen, but the act of digestion depends materially upon a certain amount of oxygenation of the food, and this can be accomplished only by the oxygen in the blood coming in contact with the food and producing a certain form of combustion. It is therefore necessary that a proper supply of oxygen be taken through the lun. . . Read More

The intention of this book is straightforward and well. It might not serve as the only reference guide for this topic but surly arouses once interest to discover it further.
I personally am inclined to follow a more authentic book for this topic rather than one which talks about things without going

The percentage of civilized men who breathe correctly is quite small, and the result is shown in contracted chests, and stooping shoulders and the terrible increase in diseases of the respiratory organs.

This little book is very dense and contains 34 meaningfully distinct exercises ranging from basic breathing to psychic healing.

Compared to the Western science in the Oxygen Advantage, the description is slightly less in-depth but pretty good.

From my experience with Reiki, the psychic healing fits

I read this while studying to become a Kundalini Yoga teacher which is all about breathe and breathing ... This is an excellent, easy to read little book that relies heavy on ancient science around breathing.
