The Power of Breath: The Gift of Self-Actualization Through Meditation

A Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller

"Your re-connection to your soul is the goal."

Mindfulness is at the heart of an impactful and lasting meditation practice, but a lot of us have trouble taking that first step. Where do I start? Am I doing it right? How do I even know it's working? The good news is, you've already started! How? Simply by breathing.

You can probably relate to the frustration of not finding Zen in your meditation practices like you're "supposed" to, or shying away from the overly complex meditation books out there. Sometimes it's easier to just continue life as is. Monica Garcia Duggal faced similar roadblocks and incredulity, but her relationship with meditation began in earnest when she suffered migraines in college and a simple breathing meditation brought her back to center. She was amazed how a simple exercise, not even an hour of her life, had changed her relationship with her body and mind forever.

Since then, she's been experimenting with and perfecting her meditations to suit her everyday needs. Now, she wants to share how she began her journey with a single breath, and how it has positively shaped her life in ways she couldn't have imagined. She realized the most important aspect of creating and maintaining a lasting meditation practice: paying attention to your breath for just five minutes a day.

The Power of Breath leads you through life's unexpected surprises, losses and turning points that make finding a simple and unique meditation practice that much more important. Start your practice today with basic exercises that will help you forge your path toward self-love, your way. Take a deep breath, and let's begin.
