"Even though I have been practicing in the healthcare field for over 28 years, I was stunned by the data Michael Grant White presented in his Optimal Breathing Manual and DVD. His work is so well researched and presented that they should be a must for anyone who breathes. Bonnie Weston ND Strongsville, Ohio

A self help BREATHING AND VOICE DEVELOPMENT manual/workbook including breathing anatomy and supportive pictures of Non-sectarian forms or breathing perspectives and trainings with a strong scientific foundation.

Techniques, exercises, and information that lay persons and traditional and alternative health professionals find extremely valuable.

What follows will unlock some of the mysteries of breathing that have been well kept secrets long cloaked in psychological jargon, eastern esoterica, spiritual abstractions, and new age hyperbole.  A combination tutorial and workbook including anatomy and supporting pictures, guides, bodywork techniques, diet, nutrition, exercises for expanding and strengthening natural breathing plus optional complimentary alternative and traditional healing modalities.

By unlocking these secrets, you have the opportunity for self-healing, self-discovery, self-empowerment, and self-transformation with techniques not generally known, and limited before to the esoteric realms of hidden spiritual and martial arts practices. These techniques are presented in clear and simple language. They includes breathing discoveries for dealing with or preventing conditions such as fatigue, constipation, eyesight, youthful energy, respiratory problems, colds, and building mighty lungs. Breath is life.

ROSETTA STONE: A story of a key

This story involves a slab of black basalt found near the mouth of the Nile in 1799. A decree carved in it in hieroglyphic and Demotic ancient Egyptian writing and Greek provided the key to deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Just as the Rosetta Stone was a key to enabling modern people for the first time to translate the ancient Egyptian language, these key breathing development techniques and exercises contained within this material have guided me into simultaneous states of increased energy, mental clarity, emotional calm, physical ease, and expanded breathing freedom.

This new way of breathing has helped re-establish internal balanced breathing integration, wholeness and coordination that had eluded me for over forty years.
