Feel better, healthier, and more relaxed...with the audio companion to the #1 Bestseller You: Staying Young
Nothing is more fundamental to living than breathing. But just because you've been doing it all your life doesn't mean you can't do it better. Breathing well is also central to meditation, relaxation and other practices that slow down the aging process and feel great while you're doing it. Expanding on the life-extending program introduced in YOU: Staying Young, Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz bring you an audio program designed to help you enjoy all the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that come from truly breathing easy.
On Disc One, Drs. Roizen and Oz tell you how to focus on breathing to make it work for you. You'll learn how your breathing apparatus works, and how the breath of life moves through your body and affects your well-being. You'll explore the science of stress and discover how to identify stressors and reduce their effects. You'll also learn how to improve the significant part of your life you spend sleeping, and why it's so important to your overall health picture.
Disc Two is devoted to tools and practices that will enhance your breathing, help you relax, and de-stress your life. In this remarkable series of exercises and meditations, the Docs and their frequent collaborator and co-host Lisa Oz introduce you to powerful techniques you'll use again and again, including:
Deep breathing
Breath awareness
Guided meditation
Stretching and relaxation
We'll also help you open the YOU Toolbox for insights into medical tests, vitamins and supplements and other information vital to the rich, vibrant life of breathing easy.
Whether you're just learning how to meditate or refining your technique, breathing and meditation are among your most powerful tools for repairing your body and fighting the effects of aging. Make healthy breathing a habit for life with YOU: Breathing Easy.
Breathing Easy?? Not After Listening To This! There was too much that didn't need to be included. They should've concentrated more on the breath work. The part(s) in which they did that weren't solid either, though.
I do like the previous work of Dr's Oz & Roizen, most of it at any rate (I do think they saturate the market with too many books-one per year). I primarily liked their first couple of books ("You! Owners Manual" & "You On A Diet"). They teach some very valuable information to the public. I suppose having Oprah as a means to get the information out has helped immensely.
From a personal standpoint, I much preferred Andrew Weil's "Breathing." He does a 40-minute dissection on breath work (its roots, its benefits, how different cultures perceive and use it for health benefits, its lack of understanding/teaching by traditional docs), then he teaches you how to breath to improve health. A truly excellent audiobook.
If your goal is to improve your health through breath work, I'd go with Dr Weil's book. That's my .02.
Less talking more breathing Compared to Andrew Weil's breathing CD this was a washout. I love the books but this CD was awful. Order Andrews if you want to learn how to breathe.
A wonderful tool for meditation I have COPD so breathing techniques are very important to me. This audio is at the top of my recommendations both for the well described breathing techniques AND for the guided meditations. I had to have some intensive gum surgery done and donned my iPod and listened to this meditation during the proceedure and it truly helped me relax and I have suggested it to others for use during medical/dental proceedures as well. Thanks for another GREAT book, Dr Oz..........
Meditation Technicalities I found it boring as there is too much diagnosing the function of meditation and relating itto the individual. I expected as portrayed in the advertisement to have some actual mediatations scripts, new age music etc. it was hard to find.
The Rewards I think it is an excellant CD for health purpose and living in a safe and healthy surroundings. It gives great tips on breathing, the method and the results your body receive from the process. I am enjoying the purchase of this item. Thank-You
