Breath Medicine DVD (YMAA Qigong & Meditation) Dr. Roger Jahnke, author of Healer Within & The Healing Promise of Qi. Healthy Breathing Exercises Breath Work DVD

I confess I was a bit perplexed by the statement in Dr. Jahnke’s book The Healing Promise of Qi that the “breath is the handle” that makes Qigong work or more “effective.”I didn’t realize the value of adding conscious breath practice to my daily routine. I can do a simple breath practice wherever I am – in my car, in a Zoom staff meeting, or standing in line at the grocery store – and benefit my body, mind, and spirit.This YMAA video by Dr. Roger Jahnke woke me up to the possibility that changing the quality of my breathing not only is good for my body’s health by getting more oxygen in my blood, it strengthens my immune system by moving the lymph, and aids with emotional regulation to quell my stress response. I experienced a gentle relief by practicing the “Elixir Breath” when feeling anxious during California’s cyclone bomb storm.I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned with friends and family. The best part was when I opened the video packaging, there was an insert that allowed me to get the entire Breath Medicine streaming program for free by contacting Dr. Jahnke’s company. Hallelujah and thank you Dr. Jahnke for this practical program to ease the body and calm the mind and spirit.

This DVD is a great offer for the price! "The most POWERFUL MEDICINE is produced within us." That is so inspiring! I have a attended some of Dr Jahnke's workshops and lectures. He is so good at making complex information very accessible. You can use these 5 breath methods right a way. Breath Medicine can be used to heal disease, maximize vitality and neutralize stress. PLUS, this was an exciting surprise, the product includes a special link to get an extended, comprehensive streaming version of the program for no additional cost. I accessed this right away. Amazing! Be sure to access the full BREATH MEDICINE program - it includes the 5 breath practices distilled from all the ancient traditions, plus scientific rationale for why the practices are so powerful, reflections on the origins of Breath Practice in numerous indigenous cultures AND specific information of using Breath Medicine for particular medical issues - pain, insomnia, etc.

Guy blinks too much. Difficult to watch

This is a great video with so much information. It is easy to follow along and understand and I can easily apply what is taught. The video is good quality and the sound is great, too.

Breath Medicine DVD is super clear and easy to follow for beginners and for those who may be more experienced with paced breathing and teaching others. Dr. Jahnke provides many examples of how to incorporate the practices into your daily life whether you have five minutes waiting on hold or more devoted time to practice. Big generous surprise once you open the DVD package is the invite to stream the program! I'm a Qigong teacher sharing this in my classes and feedback has been A+. A much needed tool for these times where resiliency is of utmost importance.

I really appreciate the simplicity of these breath practices. It is amazing how ancient methods for healing and reducing the effects of stress are being found to be beneficial. I was surprised to find a coupon in the DVD, for no cost streaming access to the DVD material plus an additional dozen videos on the science and the origins of breath practice in all the ancient cultures. Now I can give the DVD to my local library.This is a jam packed bargain. Great.

Unfortunately, it looks as though the speaker did not come prepared with a script that would succinctly explain the important concepts in this video. There’s a lot of repetition, going back-and-forth on what he’s trying to say, and quite a bit of unnecessary complexity, which unfortunately makes this video kind of boring. I feel terrible saying that, because I love Qigong, breathwork, Tai Chi… These are all wonderful things to learn for a better, healthier life. It’s just that this video wasn’t very well done, which shows in the result. I can’t really recommend it. Next time, I recommend hiring a professional director and editor to help achieve the goal of effectively conveying this important information.

A must have for everyone interested in improving their overall wellness - easy to learn conscious breathing practices and a great value - comes with a link to free access to the entire breath medicine online library - 26 videos, PDFs and more
