The goal of The Healing Breath is to create a state-of-the-art breathwork literature, and I'm pleased to be able to tell you that it is succeeding extremely well. Each issue provides articles on themes which, because Breathwork is a new science and art, have not yet been given any full treatment. Leading breathworkers are writing for The Healing Breath and making their knowledge available.

The articles in The Healing Breath are relevant for anyone interested in Breathwork at the professional, practitioner, student or client level, for people interested in their personal and spiritual development, and for a general public interested in learning about this very interesting subject.

If you are interested in breathwork you may like to know the following:

The Way of the Breath, the world's first breathwork novel is being serialised in ten monthly instalments at www.i-breathe.com/wayofbreath .

The International Breathwork Foundation brings breathworkers of all disciplines together. If you want to know more about the IBF go to www.ibfnetwork.org. There you will find information about leading breathworker trainings in many countries, and about the Global Inspiration Conference which is held annually.

Finally, if you are enjoying The Healing Breath, please let me know. It is so encouraging to receive feedback.

with all good and warm wishes to all of you,
in the spirit of the breath
