Midwest Book Review
Breathe! You Are Alive: Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing is a new and revised edition of the Buddha's most important and basic teachings on meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh presents three translations of The Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing (Anapanasati) from the Pali and the Chinese. In his commentaries, Thich Nhat Hanh outlines the methods of conscious breathing taught by the Buddha and offers exercises for practicing them today. These commentaries give the reader access to the profound nourishment available when we slow down and get in touch with our in-breath and our out-breath. Breathe! You Are Alive is an essential addition to any library Buddhism collection.

Fundamental
This book is very important for those who wish to explore the practicals of meditation. This will serve as a good introduction as well as a trustworthy guide throughout one's journey. It is well worth the price and the effort. Practice practice practice!
Simple yet , Profound...Appropriate for the Novice or the Pro!
Whether you've been meditating for a week or 25 years, this book provides profound methods for a progressive meditation practice in a very small package. At just over 100 pages, Breathe, You Are Alive, walks the reader through a sixteen part progression of awareness from the physical plane, through the mental and spiritual planes in a clear and concise manner that is easy to implement. Be warned that enlightenment is not just a hundred page book away, but if you want to make real progress on the path, this book is a good investment.
Lots of great content
