BREATHING AS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE by Will Johnson

Everyone knows about the breathing practices that can be learned in the eastern traditions like Buddhism, but what about those contained in the three major western religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam? Will Johnson is a Buddhist practitioner but he found a lot of followers of other religions coming to his workshops trying to learn about breathing, so he started exploring the three monotheistic religions looking for hidden treasure. And he found it: from Ruach in Judaism to the Islamic teachings of Rumi there were copious references to working with the breath. This book is a survey of breathwork in all spiritual traditions; it is also practical and includes a step-by-step lesson on his own breathing technique.
