Summary

It shouldn't be a revolutionary notion: We do it 20,000 times a day. Breathing -- deeply and fully -- is one of our body's fundamental strategies for maintaining well-being. But many of us breathe incorrectly, taking shallow breaths that rob our body and brain of oxygen. The result? We lose our most natural weapon against emotional and physical imbalance.
