Great results immediately, but a lifetime to enhance them

What a terrific book! Despite the fact that it's an exercise book, it is extremely engaging, and the concepts easy to follow. The challenge is to have the patience to read the book through completely so that you understand fully what Breathwalk is all about, before trying it out haphazardly. One reviewer felt the book was disorganized, and there should have been a brief overview chapter so the reader could quickly dive into Breathwalking. My good judgment tells me that the presentation of the material was quite deliberately thought through so that the reader would have a firm foundation of what to do before striking out. A Breathwalk - though its basic components are as simple as breathing and walking - requires a certain level of precision and, as importantly, consciousness of what you're doing at any given moment, so just getting a vague idea of it wouldn't be useful at all.I see a close similarity, in that respect, to yoga. Carefully learn and consciously practice a few yoga basics and you'll immediately feel some rewards (just like learning one Breathwalk program). But you can very satisfactorily spend a whole lifetime enhancing your practice of yoga (or Breathwalk) and, in turn, continuously reap more and more benefits.I'd recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an exercise program that addresses physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, is easy to do but provides you with lots of opportunity for real mastery.

We were so fortunate!

We were so fortunate to have Gurucharan come to San Antonio and personally explain Breathwalk and then lead us on a Breathwalk. He is the most charismatic speaker I've ever met and his lecture was the clearest and most inspiring.All during our breathwalk we could hear Wow! This is incredible! It is so easy that anyone can do it but so effective it is truly amazing. A lot of us were so delighted by the results that we decided to sign up for teacher training.The book has many more walks than we had time for, all carefully explained. There are some free exercises on the web site Breathwalk.com

A life changing walk

I bought the book because it incorporated elements from two of my favorite exercises, yoga and walking. After reading the book front to back, I took a walk. I was amazed. It opens your senses, quiets your mind and changes your mood in a quick 15-30 minutes. It's something you can do anywhere(your neighborhood, parks, malls, airports, work and even on a treadmill), no special clothes or equipment required, and it's soooo easy! Read the book, get your friends to get one and read it too, then go for a walk together.

A truly revitalizing experience.

This review is about the experience of doing Breathwalk as taught in the book. First it was easy to understand and learn. But, the results are the amazing part. When I pass other walkers with their head sets, weights, intense paces and faces and realize this is their excercise and relaxation, I feel lucky to have learned a technique that is both enegizing, relaxing, and elevating at the same time. All the scientific background information gave the whole thing validity which helped me want to learn it. Thanks for this book!

It Really Works!

While reading the book I could only think that all I had to do is start walking. One morning I decided to do the program that helps focus and let me tell you that it REALLY works. I felt focused the whole entire day, even at four pm when I'm usually ready to go home for a nap. It's simple, you get quick results, and there are no fees besides buying the book. Breathwalk fulfills the needs of the modern day person who is busy but still wants an effective exercise program. Just try it and enjoy.
