    The intention of this writing is to share a Breathwork exercise I found helpful in my life. It is not my intention to replace medical care or give medical or psychological advice. I, the author and publisher and distributors, will not and cannot be held accountable for prosecution for any loss or harm, be it physical, mental or emotional, do to the material and intentions within this book.

    Peace

    The spiral is a piece of my art inspired by this breathing exercise. It is one of many gifts that have come to life from within me during my Breathwork practice.

    Gratitude

    I am very grateful to Molly Zimmerman, for her patience, persistence and fierce honesty with my writing. Without her assistance, questions, and suggestions this book would not have the clarity it has today. Molly, thank you for the time and energy you put into this writing.

    I am also thankful to, Maria Onofrietti, Dana Webster, Christine Cox, Bob Valentine, Sharri Gaines and Stephanie Armijo for their suggestions and timely bits of wisdom and insight.

    Thank you mom, for your listening ear and watchful eye as this book came to completion. Dad, I miss you and I believe I felt your hand on my left shoulder many times as I read this writing out loud, to myself, sitting in your old chair.

    I am also grateful to my daughters, Noelle and Megan, for supporting me in my Breathwork practice over the years.

    Most of all I would like to thank the breath, the air we breathe and share, for touching me in ways that have been more fulfilling and astonishing than anything else I know.
