Summary: Eatern Breathing Philosophy
Comment: I picked up this book (1905 edition) as a martial artist hoping to help me with my KI breathing excerices. This book improved my breathing technique introduced me to yoga and eastern thought. "Science of Breath" provides a great balance between western theories and eastern ideas. This book would be a good aid to anyone in the martial arts or those who hust study KI.

Summary: Superb Start to Yoga
Comment: This book is a potential life changer and will make you rethink the way you think about health. Breath as discussed by Rama and the others is revealed as THE center to all life, our life, Yoga, and to how "happy' we are in both body and mind (i.e., OM). What's great is getting a nice Western emprical discussion of the physiology of breath, and then getting Rama's discussion of breath in the context of Yoga. Another cool part is understanding how important the nose is to breathing and health. A very practical and fascinating book and a great beginning to Yoga.

Summary: Concise and easy to read
Comment: The author of this text, Yogi Ramacharaka, is a mysterious individual but there is nothing mysterious about this practical and elegantly simple guide to pranayama, the art of yogic breathing. The beauty of this work is its blend of Western and Eastern theory. Historically, the author is thought to be a Western man, an English lawyer to be more exact, that traveled to America and wrote yogic and mystic texts under the name of a yogi he had met and studied with. Some however feel that the name Yogi Ramacharaka corresponds with a yogi of the Middle Ages who utilized the body and mind of the aforementioned lawyer and channeled the information into him to be written for the benefit of the Western world. There is ample evidence for both theories in that at multiple instances in the text, the plural first person form "we" is used to denote authorship and the fact that there is a growing number of yogis who feel that the great Yogi Ramacharaka has attempted or has successfully channeled information and teachings into them. After reading this compact staple of breathing manuals, you'll wish you could channel the mind of Yogi Ramacharaka too. The Western medical student will learn just as much as the die hard student of Eastern internal arts. The exercises outlined within the pages are potent; any athlete can benefit from them as well as anyone suffering from maladies of the upper respiratory system. Personally, I used to suffer from chronic upper respiratory problems such as sinusitus and bronchitis. After being introduced to yoga and pranayama with my understanding peaking since the completion of the studies of Yogi Ramacharaka's books, my condition has considerably lessened and my overall physical and mental vigor has doubled. Buy this book immediately. You will not be disappointed.
