The Hindu Yogi Science of Breath by William Atkinson on Free Audio Book Download

Written during a time when there were many misconceptions about India and its religious traditions, the Hindu Yogi Science of Breath by William Walker Atkinson is an early attempt to bridge the cultural divide. Still firmly written for the western reader, Atkinson explains the scientific understanding of breathing's health benefits on both a physical and "psychic" level. He then educates readers on the concept of Prana (or the energy in all living things, according to Hindu belief), and how practitioners in the western world can benefit from the spiritual side-effects of deep, meditative breathing exercises.
