Breath is the single most important aspect of the human experience.
How long can a human go without...
Food
At the age of 74 and already slight of build, Mahatma Gandhi, the famous nonviolent campaigner for India's independence, survived 21 days of total starvation while only allowing himself sips of water.
Water
Some people have survived 8 to 10 days without water.
Air
The average person can hold their breath around 3 minutes. The Guiness Book of World Records list the longest time holding the breath under water was 22 minutes by Stif Severinsen of Denmark in May 3, 2012. However, he was allowed to hyperventilate with oxygen prior to the attempt for 19 minutes and 30 seconds.
Obviously, the human experience is most dependent upon air to survive and will perish most rapidly when deprived on air.
Of all the Master Teachers whom which I have studied Leonard Orr was one of the most unique. Leonard stayed with me at Eagle Heart for about 10 days. His daily communions with Air, Earth, Fire, and Water were very powerful to be around. To learn from Leonared about his experiences with the famous Indian mystic Babaji and Immortality was a very special experience for me. Here is Leonard's information from his web sites:
Leonard D. Orr is the founder and discoverer of the world-wide Rebirthing Breathwork movement. He is considered to be one of the pioneers of the New Age, bringing in the concepts of Prosperity Consciousness, healing the Unconscious Death Urge, Physical Immortality, and overcoming the ‘Eleven Biggies of Human Trauma'; birth trauma, parental disapproval syndrome, personal lie & specific negatives, school trauma, past life karma, the unconscious death urge, religion trauma, senility, repression of the feminine, world savior syndrome and physical abuse & sexual abuse trauma.
Leonard is a life-long student of self-transformation, body mastery, and is a visionary, teacher, author, businessman and modern day yogi.

Peggy Dylan has been one of my teachers and then I was asked to be one of her assistants. I learned a lot from my time studying with Peggy. She is a powerful source of wisdom and the Shamanic experience. Here is a link to her Breathwork Workshops. While I have not attended them Peggy is loved by her students and is a recognized Source for Breathwork. Here is the link...
