The Breath of Life: Using the Power of Ki for Maximum Vitality - Tapa dura

This work, combining two of the author's best-selling books in Japanese, introduces the Western reader to the unique breathing techniques developed by a charismatic teacher to activate the latent energy of ki, the "basic life energy" that lies untapped in most of us. Guiding you step-by-step, Nishino teaches you simply and clearly how to "breathe through the soles of your feet" - inducing a shift in consciousness that will invigorate your entire body. Regular practice brings multiple beneficial effects, including enhanced health, stamina, resourcefulness, and youthfulness. Best of all, the results are faster and more dramatic than with other traditional meditative breathing exercises.

Kozo Nishino is currently a guest professor at Osaka International University for Women.
