Breathe, You Are Alive: The Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing
- Used Book in Good Condition
According to the Buddhaâ€™s teaching in the Anapanasati Sutra, maintaining awareness of our breathing is a means of awakening to the true nature of all things and arriving at spiritual liberation. Breathe, You Are Alive outlines 16 exercises of conscious breathing that were taught by the Buddha, together with commentaries and further exercises for practicing them every day and in any situation. Thich Nhat Hanhâ€™s insights and explanation give the reader access to the profound nourishment available when we slow down and get in touch with our in-breath and out-breath. He walks the reader through the progression of exercisesâ€”from awareness of the physical plane, to the mental and spiritual planesâ€”in a clear and concise manner that is easy to implement.

This 20th anniversary edition includes Thich Nhat Hanhâ€™s most recent commentaries and practices on the awareness of breathing meditation, as well as his "Breathing and Walking" Gatha (practice verse) set to music.
