Renowned breathing expert offers a guide to conscious breathing with techniques for loosening patterns of constriction, reducing stress, and alleviating tension. Breath moves in wavelike motions. When breath flows freely within the body, we live in a natural state of harmony, making choices that enhance well-being and generate energy.Each individual breath travels through us in a unique way depending on its flow, texture, speed, and patterning. Like a leaf falling from a tree that spirals to the ground, waves of breath travel through the airways of the body in a spiraling motion. This is the way air moves, the way breath moves, and the way oceans, rivers, and lakes move, too. When we tighten our passageways and compromise our breathing, our health suffers. Most of us are born with the ability to breathe freely and naturally, but as the years go by, our breathing becomes labored-compromised by fear, disappointment, trauma, and pollutants. So we contract our breathing body and create ways that feel protective of our vulnerable selves but actually constrict the oxygen intake and thus the nourishment our body receives. In The Breathable Body: Transforming Your World and Your Life, One Breath at a Time, Robert Litman shares the insights and practices he has discovered during more than 30 years of professional experience in conscious breathing and movement. Born with breathing difficulties and suffering from asthma as a child, Robert found ways to overcome his own childhood PTSD and now shares trauma-sensitive teachings to help people breathe and live better. You can change your life-including alleviating symptoms of asthma, snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, digestive difficulties, and fatigue-by changing how you breathe. The techniques in this book will teach you how to support and protect your body and its respiratory system. Through conscious breathing, movement, sound, and a clear understanding of anatomy and respiration, we learn habits that support healthy and natural breathing.

Robert Litmanââ?¬â?¢s ââ?¬Å"The Breathable Body: Transforming Your World and Your Life, One Breath at a Timeââ?¬Â? is an engrossing and insightful guide that raises the art and science of conscious breathing to a transformative level. Drawing on over 30 years of experience in breathing and movement, Litman shares practical wisdom, rooted in physiology and his personal journey, that empowers readers to harness the power of breath for improved health, emotional resilience, and overall well-being.
Organized into four comprehensive sectionsâ�"The Breath of Life, Fundamentals of Breathing, Working with Breathing Disorders, and Transforming Your World and Your Life, One Breath at a Timeâ�"the book offers a layered understanding of breathingâ��s role in human health. Litman explains that breathing is a holistic act involving the entire body, not just the nose and lungs, emphasizing the importance of restoring natural rhythm and harmony. His exploration of how breath moves in wave-like motions and how to regulate carbon dioxide levels provides crucial insights into oxygen delivery and energy production, foundational to optimal health.
What sets this book apart is its accessible yet scientific approach. Litman delves into the anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and mechanics of breathing with clarity, making complex concepts approachable for lay readers and professionals alike. The inclusion of practical exercises and tips makes it a valuable resource for those seeking to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, or address breathing-related health issues such as back pain and hypertension.
In addition, Litman skillfully demonstrates how conscious breathing can serve as a powerful tool for managing stress, trauma, and emotional challenges, ultimately enhancing performance, creativity, and relationships. Sharing personal reflections adds warmth and authenticity to his work. Litman�s transparency about his own journey helps underscore the transformative potential of mindful breathing. As someone who feels like she never learned how to breathe properly, I look forward to doing the exercises provided. I expect to quickly see a big difference because I know that this is an area where I really need to focus.
ââ?¬Å"The Breathable Bodyââ?¬Â? by Robert Litman is not only a must-read for individuals hoping to improve their health, but it is also a vital resource for therapists, coaches, and health professionals working with clients on breathing issues. It is a holistic, wisdom-packed resource that encourages us to view breath as a gateway to transforming our inner and outer worldsââ?¬"one breath at a time.
