Dates to be Determined

Breathing Techniques on the Battlefield

Two years ago we started with one person, Dr. Natalia Verzun, who began using BreathLogic’s breathing techniques for resiliency and self-empowerment. This soon increased to six people for an in-person training in Cyprus, who then shared with hundreds, including refugees, children, and even frontline soldiers. We never dreamed our training programs would be used this way!

 

Now psychologist, Dr. Oksana Ruda has instigated a campaign to expand this outreach to thousands. She and other psychologists (and trainers), have requested advanced, in-person training from BreathLogic so they may help others exponentially.

 

Your donation will help us provide this advanced training. Can we count on you?

FOREWORD REVIEWS by Melissa Wuske Jan/Feb 2022: “The book has a calm pace, augmenting the tone of its instruction. The pages are roomy with beautiful, restful botanical accents. Each chapter ends with breathing essentials: a key idea plus a BLIPP—Breath Literacy’s Instant Power Practice—to make sure learning goes from the mind to the body. Breath Is Life is a health book that shows that new life is as close as your lungs.”

"Breath Is Life is a script for creating a life that is healthy,
peaceful, joyful and fun." - Dr. Verna Price
