Just Breathe 1 THE POWER OF BREATH MASTERY For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth.
-SANSKRIT PROVERB
Let me tell you about my awakening to the breath. I was in the first grade at a Catholic school in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The pastor of our church made the first of his weekly visits to our classroom that Friday morning.
We all sat in awe of this very stern-looking old guy dressed in a long black robe with a bright red cape, holding a leather-bound Bible, its pages trimmed with gold leaf. We were all afraid. For all we knew, God could strike us dead if we didn't listen and behave. (Yes, I am a recovering "Cathaholic.")
Switching back and forth between French and English, he talked about heaven. That was nice. And he talked about hell-definitely not nice. He told us how if we were not very, very careful, and if we did not do exactly as we were told, we would all end up in that terrible place forever! Then he read from the book of Genesis and told us how: "God took the dust of the earth and formed the body of man; and breathed into the nostrils of man the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
To say that those words made an impression on me would be a huge understatement. I was smitten! I began to feel uncontrollable and unimaginable excitement at the thought that God was breathing into me. It was the most amazing thing I had ever heard, and I couldn't understand why everyone else wasn't excited about it like me.
I couldn't sit still. I couldn't shut up. I think I was in a state of rapture. I know I became too animated, and I guess I disrupted the class, because I remember the monsignor's hands on my shoulders: he was forcing me to sit back down in my chair.
Either because of him or in spite of him, something in me was definitely awakened that day. I sensed there was something magical, mystical, something wonderful and beautiful about breathing, and no amount of guilt, fear, force, shame, or

cajoling was going to change or erase it. This was the spark that lit a fire in me, and to this day, I remain utterly fascinated-more than ever in fact-with breath and breathing, and with the power and potential of breathwork.
From that moment of revelation, my personal path of breathwork took me on an incredible adventure from an X-ray technology program in Boston, and then into the US Navy during the Vietnam War era as an independent hospital corpsman, deep-sea diver, and emergency rescue specialist. I trained CPR and first-aid instructors, EMTs, and other emergency responders; developed the first stress and coping program for the American Red Cross; and designed a master's program called "The Breath as a Tool for Health, Growth, and Change" at Lesley University in Cambridge.
Breathing training led me to study in India with yogi masters; to the Academy of Chinese Medicine in Beijing; and to the Russian Academy of Science in Moscow. I've learned methods of breathing from Zen Buddhism, from Rebirthing with Leonard Orr, from Holotropic Breathwork with Stan Grof, and other sources.
Recently, breathwork led me to Silicon Valley, to the Nissan-Renault Group's Research Labs. This automaker developed a prototype of a car that integrates a breathing feature into the driver's and passenger's seats. A mechanism in the seat, taken from Innovzen's O2 Chair, moves in a way that promotes and supports full, relaxed breathing. It was an honor to present and fun to demonstrate the concept of "onboard breathing" to the CEO and his team. In the next few years as self-driving cars hit the highways, we'll have more free time to focus on other things, like energizing and relaxing ourselves on the way to and from wor
