Longevity Breathing CD/DVD

[Anonymous]

Greetings,

I have been looking at the different materials that Energy Arts offers on Longevity Breathing and was wondering if anyone can tell me the main differences or advantages between the Longevity Breathing DVD and the Taoist Breathing for Qi Gong and meditation.
I practice Qigong and meditation so the latter title sounds like it may be a better choice but they both look like they cover alot of the same topics.
Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body seems to cover Longevity Breathing pretty well but Id like as much info on the topic as I can while learning. If anyone has any personal experience learning with either of the above products please let me know how it worked for you.

Cheers,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Both titles are very useful for learning and practicing the Taoist breathing techniques. The Longevity Breathing DVD focuses primarily on the physical mechanics of whole-body breathing. The Taoist Breathing CD Disc 1 corresponds to the breathing exercises in the Relaxing Into Your Being book, and also covers basic principles of energetic breathing. Disc 2 takes those lessons to the next level. These CDs also have chimes at intervals designed to help you increase the length of each breath.

I remember Bruce once mentioning that if you are primarily interested in health, practice the physical breathing first; if you are primarily interested in meditation, practice the energetic breathing (i.e., nose to central channel to lower tan tien) first. The other important thing to remember is that the physical breathing enhances the energetic breathing, and vice versa.

Breathe well,

Don.
