BREATH WORK

�(FEEDING THE EMOTIONAL BODY)

Breath is a food. Iin many Eastern and Middle Eastern cultures, the manipulation of the breath is a science. Ecstatic and joyous feelings are created by breathing in definite patterns and thereby energizing certain areas of subtler bodies of feeling and thought.� IN the Taoist tradition the breath is directed through the meridian channels while in India the twin channels are seen entwining up the spine like a caduceus, connecting swirling etheric energy centers like galaxies, ascending up the body.

�� The common thread in these beliefs is that subtle energy in the breath can be directed with the mind to different channels and energy centers.

� In the west a emotional therapy pioneer Wilhelm Reich found that a conscious use of certain breath combined with physical or verbal therapy can bring about deep catharsis releasing energy centers from self imposed �emotional malnutrition�.� IN this session we will explore the �Reichian� release breath to cleanse unwanted and unconscious tension,

then apply the various yoga and Taoist breathingexercises to build and activate the feeling body.
