Whole Body Library / practical manual
Body by Breath
Jill Miller · 2023
A breath and self-regulation practice manual from a proprioceptive, body-mapping lens.
Why it belongs
Useful for keeping breath content embodied and practice-based rather than biohacky.

Read the reference first; buy only if it answers a real question for your body or practice.
Why read it
A breath book in WBC’s preferred register: tactile, bodily, and practical, with less macho performance language than much of the category.
Key idea
Breathing practice is a way to notice and modulate state, not a universal cure.
Try this
Place one hand on ribs and one on belly; observe where breath expands for five quiet cycles before changing anything.
Best for
- Readers who need breath as sensation, not just timers
- Breathwork pages that need practical but bounded language
Read with caution
- Breath practices can be destabilizing for some people
- Avoid claiming breathwork treats trauma or disease
