Exercises include: taking three deep breaths before answering the phone, noticing and adjusting your posture throughout the day, eating mindfully, and leaving no trace of yourself after using the kitchen or bathroom. Each exercise is presented with tips on how to remind yourself and a short life lesson connected with it.

Breath Perception presents 261 simple exercises - one for every Monday through Friday - for using breath to attain greater well-being.

Buddhism has been in the minds, hearts, and lives of men and women since the first historically recorded Buddha reincarnated in ancient India. The person we know today as the Buddha, who is also known as Shakyamuni and Gautama, has been revered and honored for over 2500 years. His profound teachings have given hope and meaning to the lives of countless millions of people right up till the present day. But, just like us, he was just another fragile human being, filled with hopes, dreams, fears and concerns for the people around him and for the environment.

It is important to know that Buddha was not a god, and he never claimed to be one. He only taught the path to enlightenment from his own experiences. Buddhists at times pay respect to images of the Buddha but not to ask for favors or during worship. A statue of the Buddha with hands gently on its lap and a smile reminds each one of us to aim at developing peace and love within ourselves. Bowing to the statue of the Buddha is a way of expressing gratitude for his teaching.
