Beyond Breathing is a story of a mother's loss of her 13 year old daughter, Jena, to Cystic Fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease. Her journey takes you from unfathomable heartache to love and understanding of life's realities. Through her journey she learns that life lessons come from her children and the beauty of living and the power of love. In the span of one year she learns to go from depression and dependency to inner strength and the realization that love never ends and that there are no coincidences. That she is beyond just breathing.

Beyond the Breath is one of the first books to give a complete overview and description of sensation based vipassana meditation, the form of mediation thought of as the original method of meditation as used by the Buddha 2,500 years ago. This form of meditation, brought to the West by S.N. Geoneka, provides a means to experience emotions directly and nonverbally--accessing the mind through the body. One of the main principles of this school of meditation is that meditation alone is not sufficient practice, but that it must be combined with a whole-life and ethical commitment. M.Glickman's approach is unique--he takes a mediation practice deeply rooted within a historic Buddhist framework, and gives it a modern-day, scientific spin--he presents sensation based viapassana meditaiton and Buddhist principles in 20th-century language, secularizing ideas that may sound exotic, off-putting, or out-dated. Glickman's passion for the topic, as well as his great understanding of Buddhist concepts, make this an inspiring read.

We are taught in life to seek answers externally. We look to the outside world to tell us where to go, or what to do next. Inside of your body is a universe of knowledge that is untapped and unexplored. Beyond Breath is a tool to help you discover how to access the knowledge and information already inside of you. Your body holds all of the answers. Do you know what you do with your life from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep at night? Does your behavior change according to your environment. Do you feel as though you are pinged around and controlled by external influences? I have seen many therapists in my life and, all served the purpose for where I was at that point. However, my life continued to unravel the same way. I continued to have the same experiences over and over and over again. It wasn't until I recognized and discovered how I was holding myself on the earth, how I carried my body, that I was able to make lasting changes.The shape your body is making is the breath you are able to breathe. The breath you breathe is the life you live. Breath.Is.Life. In this book, learn the tools to soften. To find safety within the walls of your skin. To love and hold yourself as sacred. To come home and find that the safest place for you to be, is right here. In your body.This work has been done in recovery programs and has helped hundreds of women who feel lost and out of control come back to themselves. This work has also been done with addiction recovery to find lasting changes that are internal. No more white knuckling. Forget trying to control the world around you. Find control within yourself. Pure. Whole. Sacred control.Breathe with me. Trust that you are held and you do not need to hold yourself up. Connect and find intimacy. Hold yourself as sacred. Love from a place of abundance rather than neediness. Speak your truth, LIVE your truth. See yourself as you really are. Know YOU are good. Feel that truth in your body and let that be the way life manifests for you.I love you, Love, Sari

A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.
