Since 1991, thousands of people have experienced the joy and health benefits of Full Wave Breathing. Here is one person's story of how Full Wave Breathing changed their life.

CASE IN POINT:
Stan's Freedom

Stan, a forty-eight-year-old military flight instructor, spent most of his life fueled by an intense need to excel in his career while ignoring his precarious health and family problems.

He was an alcoholic who drank for more than twenty years before quitting with the help of a twelve-step program. By that time his life had collapsed. He was suffering from acute stress and recurring back problems. He was a two-and-a-half pack-a-day smoker. His wife was sleeping with their foster son, and Stan's biological son had become a cocaine addict.

To add insult to injury, the military had banned him from flying because of his drinking problem. Worst of all, Stan was unable to express any of the intense feelings locked inside of him or change any of the behaviors that were dragging him down.

All of that changed with the breath. Full Wave Breathing helped Stan stay sober. His first session occurred a month after he stopped drinking. He had already tried to quit several times, but one thing or another had always brought him back to the bottle after a few days, a few weeks or sometimes just a few hours. When he tried Full Wave Breathing he was also making an effort to work the twelve steps, but couldn't calm his mind or quiet his churning feelings long enough to make any progress.

He discovered in Full Wave Breathing a way to release the feelings he had been suppressing his whole life, as well as a path to the deepest peace he had ever known.

During the next eighteen months, through weekly and biweekly sessions, Stan stayed sober, quit smoking, healed his back, and completely changed his diet. He won his freedom from the compulsive behaviors that had ruled his past and learned to allow feelings to play an important part in his life. He learned to accept himself without judgment and found a deep connection with a higher power. His son now uses the breath to aid in his own recovery from drug addiction.

Stan is flying again-literally and spiritually. Looking back on the journey he has traveled through Full Wave Breathing Stan says, "Whatever it took to get me here, it's been worth it." He calls his transformation "absolutely miraculous."
