I want to make the information about working with breath and consciousness in the acupuncture treatment session available to as many practitioners as possible, so here are links to various documents and soundfiles from a 2-day workshop I did on the breath last year.

Please be aware that some of the faster deep breathing techniques can be intense and should not be practiced with patients until you have some basis of personal experience in this technique. The workshop serves as an introduction to whet your appetite. If you are interested in further persuing this methodology come to more workshops or access the resources listed in the Word file to find a breathork practitioner in your area.

It is my belief that this technology should be more available to acupuncturists, and in this seminar I endevour to illuminate some of the theoretical background to working with the breath implicit within Traditional Oriental Medicine.
