The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath (Paperback)
First published in 1903, ‘The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath’ by William Walker Atkinson, an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. Yogi's system of Complete Breathing is of vital importance to every man, woman, and child who wishes to acquire health and keep it. This book explains in layman's terms what happens inside our bodies when we inhale and then exhale. And the effects improper breathing has on both our internal and external extremities. It describes nature's proximity to the respiratory and circulatory systems. The final sections include invaluable Yogi breathing exercises for increased breathing awareness and better health. “All is in vibration. From the tiniest atom to the greatest sun, everything is in a state of vibration. There is nothing in absolute rest in nature. A single atom deprived of vibration would wreck the universe. In incessant vibration, the universal work is performed.” ― William Walker Atkinson, The Science of Breathing

About the Author
Atkinson was a prolific writer, and his many books achieved wide circulation among New Thought devotees and occult practitioners. He published under several pen names, including Magus Incognito, Theodore Sheldon, Theron Q. Dumont, Swami Panchadasi, Yogi Ramacharaka, Swami Bhakta Vishita, and probably other names not identified at present. The works published under the name of William Walker Atkinson generally treat themes related to the mental world, occultism, divination, psychic reality, and mankind's nature. They constitute a basis for what Atkinson called ‘New Thought’. Due in part to Atkinson's intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite having obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications—and having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900.
