My Top 5 Breath Books, Unconditional Love, and a Life Changing Outro

1. My 5 Favorite Breathing Books & the Order I’d Read Them if I Started Over

1. Full Catastrophe Living: Teaches the power of mindful breathing, which is the starting point of all breathing practices.

2. Breathing: The Master Key to Self Healing (audio only): One of the most accessible and practical intros to breathing.

3. The Healing Power of the Breath: One of the best for learning how slow breathing techniques help all aspects of life.

4. Breath: This is a must-read for anyone interested in breathing.

5. The Oxygen Advantage: Now that you’re a true breath nerd, you’re ready to dive into all Patrick’a life-changing wisdom.

Major Caveat: This changes based on where I am in life and the new books I read 😊

2. Moving Toward Our Better Nature

“As we see it, the most compelling impacts of meditation are not better health or sharper business performance but, rather, a further reach toward our better nature.”

– Daniel Goleman, Ph.D. & Richard Davidson, Ph.D., Altered Traits

I think this is true of any contemplative practice: meditation, breathing, yoga, or even just reading.

So here’s to choosing our favorite one and inching closer toward our better nature, today 🙏

3. Life-Changing: How to End a Breathing, Meditation, or Really Any Contemplative Practice

Say this to yourself silently:

“even if I have been distracted, … is there something that has moved me, and that I would like to keep? Is there something that I would like to take with me and use to nourish myself?”

– Dr. Cathy Blanc, The Healing Power of Meditation

Then, silently wish that you can put whatever moved you into practice to bring more peace, humanity, and love to the world 🙏
