Dan Brul weaves together breathing physiology, psychology, and spirituality in uniquely practical ways that most anyone can learn for improving health and performance. His writing style is crisp, clear, personal, easy to read, and even exciting. His book is a must read not only for breathworkers, healthcare practitioners, and yoga-meditation fans, but also for virtually anyone who suspects that breathing might just be something important in their lives!

JIM MORNINGSTAR, PhD, director of Transformations Breathwork Training Program and author of Breathing in Light and Love and The Complete Breath
I am a skeptic of nearly everything. Ive trained with the Navy, helped an NFL player get on a team, raced Grand Prix motorcycles... all high stress environments. What works? Train. Eat. Sleep. Thats what works. But wait a second... enter Dan Brul and his breathwork. To me this technology is the fourth pillar of achievement. It makes a huge difference in performance, and I am all in.
OREN KLAFF, founder of Intersection Capital and author of Pitch Anything
In Just Breathe , Dan Brul really explains what it means to, as the book says, just breathe. It is a fundamental part of life to breathe, so why not do it correctly? And that is exactly what Dan teaches in this book, how to breathe in a way that lets you be the healthiest you can be, and live your life one amazing breath at a time.
DAVID RIKLAN, founder of SelfGrowth.com
I love the way Dan gently enters breath mastery through awareness, relaxation, and breathing. His Wake Up! Let Go! and Take Charge are the basics of what we all teach, but here in Just Breathe it is so clear and straightforward.
DR. DAVID OHARE, MD, author of Heart Coherence 365
This book, which embodies Dans life work, draws us in, inhales us into a fresh new state of awareness, of seeing how, even in the small moments of each day, we can transform our experiences with conscious breathing. Then it breathes us out into the world with freedom from habits and limitations, with wisdom from ancient traditions and modern science, and with the knowledge that it is quite possible to heal ourselves and others using the power of our breath.
PATRICIA GERBARG, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, New York Medical College and coauthor of The Healing Power of the Breath
Most of us have never even considered the gift and value of the breath until something comes in the way of its flow. In Just Breathe , Dan succeeds in sharing a lifetime of experience and wisdom in a way that is accessible and practical, but at the same time wakes us up to the magic and mystery of the breath. He makes the simple act of breathing come alive through his passion and deep insight. He guides us to develop a conscious relationship with the breath to optimize every aspect of tour lives. What a gift!
Ela Manga, MD, author of My Energy Codes and director of Woodlands Spa and Center for Conscious Living, South Africa

FOREWORD
by Tony Robbins
I ve dedicated my life to helping others achieve their peak potential and lead an extraordinary quality of life. And every so often when a teacher comes into my life and teaches me something that expands my own peak experience, I have to share it with others.
Thats the case with Dan Brul, breath master and global teacher of his program Breath Mastery. Dan can help you maximize your performance, reduce stress, boost longevity, optimize health, and ultimately transform your life. Hes known as the Bruce Lee of breathing, because he has drawn the best from every style and school he has explored, and because of his skill, mastery, and dedication to the art and science of breathwork. Hes taught tens of thousands of people from around the worldincluding business leaders, Navy SEALs, athletes, health-care practitioners, and everyday peoplelooking to improve their health and performance. Dan knows the breathing techniques taught and practiced by ancient yogis and enlightened mystics, elite athletes and warriors, and cutting-edge neuroscientists. Most important, he knows which techniques are best proven to work.
Did you know that 70 percent of the toxins inside our bodies are removed through our lungs? Yet studies show that were using less and less of our lung capacity. Think about it: When were stressed out, what do we do? Breathe deep or shallow? Its surprising just how much we hold our breaththink what that does to the body and mind! And what a waste of a natural resource!
Dont waste its power. Be conscious of it. By taking conscious control of your breathing, you harness your thoughts, energy, and body.
People always ask me: Whats the secret to achieving results? The secret to lasting change? My answer is that you must train yourself to become a master. To become a master at anything takes consistency, commitment, and focus. Thats what this book is offering you: the dynamic tools, techniques, and practices to teach, guide, and help you create lasting change in the quality of your life.
It takes 110 percent commitment to reach the level of Breath Mastery that Dan has obtained through decades of study, research, and practice. Just Breathe is his definitive handbook, testament, and revelation that once you pay attention to your breath and master its true power, you master your life and your outcomes. This book will show you how. It you want real change that lasts, then you owe it to yourself to start right now with this book in your hands, and master your breath.
