This is a reprint of a book first published in 1976. Morrow states that Individual Chanting is listening to the self while making breath & voice sound. He adds that Breathing is universal language and notes that a person can go through a wide range o emotions from depression to exhilaration by breathing differently. Unlike singing, which can stop, the breath goes on even if the breather doesn't want it to...the emotions carried by the breath are readable by others and perhaps by animals. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
