It happened by accident. Amid the
struggle and anxiety of a hectic New York lifestyle, I discovered the
secret to pure relaxation...
No need for drugs, alcohol, or long meditation studies.
The Joy of Breathing natural mind-body method will help you to relax, from day 1.
The Joy of Breathing natural mind-body method will help you to relax, from day 1.
You CAN relax and feel better.
Stress is natural. Your body has built-in ways to handle stress naturally. You just need to learn how to use them.
Your voluntary and involuntary processes
Voluntary processes are those you control, like moving your arms and legs.
Involuntary processes, like circulation and digestion, happen on their own, beyond your control.
Stress reactions are part of your involuntary system. That's why it really can "make your sweat" and "hit you in the gut."
You can tell yourself to relax. Yet you don't.
The "Magic" Connection
There is one physical process that is both voluntary and involuntary. Breathing.
Through the breath, you can create control over some of your involuntary processes.
If you know how, you can actually make yourself relax.

You don't have to be a mystic. In fact, you can be a businessman.
It started back in the 1980s. Like many young experimenters, I wanted to find ways to alter my mood. Luckily, I got turned on to meditative self-hypnosis. I spent the next couple of decades using hypnotic techniques on myself, my friends, even with people at my job. Hypnosis was great for a lot of things, including relieving mental stress. But its physical effects were limited.
You've heard the term mind-body? I began to realize that while self-hypnosis was great for the mind, it could be even more powerful if it connected directly with the body.
One day, while I was doing my pranayama yoga breathing, an idea blossomed. I realized that there were a lot of people who didn't have the patience or desire to do yoga. But I could help them feel better, not just mentally, but physically, by adapting the most basic yoga breathing techniques into something they could not only do, but enjoy. And the key to making it easy for them was to combine it with self-hypnosis.
That was the beginning of the Joy of Breathing method.
