I myself have had experiences — both intentionally and unintentionally induced — that took me to a inner sense of silence, peace, and quiet happiness. I have had “peak experiences” and perceived a sense of sense that is difficult to access. But, I can see that I have never experienced the world and its ultimate energetic source at the depth you describe in your posts.

You’re welcome! I appreciate your comments.

My new book, “Breathe Into Being,” is even more “user friendly” than my previous ones (only 115 pages), and is meant for anyone who is interested in breath and awakening.

With warm wishes,

Dennis

Do you have a favorite reference for a DVD that teaches that style?

I just listened to your radio interview this morning. It was helpful, informative, and I enjoyed the many daily life examples/stories you shared with us. Thanks!

It’s been a couple of years since accidently running into your book at the local library…now I’ve purchased it and it is in my “healing library” here at home. “Free Your Breath, Free You Life” has been read and referenced so many times it has become like a favorite comfortable flannel shirt. It never ceases to bring something new and fun to play with each time it gets opened. It may sound odd, but this book sort of guides me as to what lessons to look at and to practice.

I know nothing of qi gong, except a very brief short one time class long ago at a local book store in the neighborhood…. so … but breath work has always fascinated me(spent a lot of time practicing Kundalini Yoga) and actually helped the healing process in my own experience (four years ago after having a brain tumor removed). Though I admit for the longest time practicing yoga, learning meditation techniques at a local temple did not do much experience wise, guess it was the way I practiced, back then.

Thanks again for writing the books you’ve written, I’ve been waiting to check out the Tao of Breath from the library, it’s must be good, as it’s been on hold status forever! One question, how does your recent book differ from the previous ones? Is it for a more advanced practioner or student? Or, is it as user friendly as your other books?

Warm regards

We may have met, briefly, long ago: I lived in SF, was taking tai chi from Kuo and was connected to the Institute on St. Elmo St. by way of Mr. Yate’s group. In both those settings I talked with a man who looked like you. If so, hello again! If not, hello now!

Thanks so much for sharing yourself here, and of course, for your fine books and work.
