Outer Chaos, Inner Calm by Anthony Abbagnano
I once took a trip to Israel where I road camel. It was my first camel ride, and I was quite nervous because it was shaped so differently than a horse. After I was on the camel for a few minutes, my friend’s husband Yehuda said, "Lori there is a big problem." And I called from my camel to his, "What’s the problem?" And he said, "You are not breathing. You need to breath to ride a camel." And he was absolutely correct. I do not breath correctly, and often I just hold my breath in fear, which is a really bad way to live. This book "Outer Chaos Inner Calm" by Anthony Abbagnano, I read with interest because it examines the theory that breath work can help you confront your fears, worries, childhood trauma, and feelings of powerlessness. He guides the readers on a series of exercises unlocking clues to the past and forging a new stronger path for the future. Be curious. Be present. Be committed. Surround yourself with people who will lift you up and not drag you down. It is easy? No. But Abbagnano believes that discomfort leads to growth, and growth is ongoing. So if you are feeling stuck and need a road out, follow the lead of Abbagnano and learn to breath better. To buy this book on Amazon click here.
