Healing the Lung and Breath: Simple Spiritual Remedies for Grief and Letting Go

When grief makes the body forget how to breathe, healing begins with remembering how to let go.

This beautifully written spiritual guide helps readers restore peace through breath, prayer, and gentle ritual. Drawing from Daoist medicine, inner alchemy, and timeless cross-cultural wisdom, Healing the Lung and Breath transforms loss into clarity - teaching that every exhale is a quiet act of forgiveness.

Across nine luminous chapters, Laing Z. Matthews leads you through a sacred progression of recovery:

• The Hidden Cause Behind the Illness - How sorrow turns to breathlessness and how to release it.

• The Language of Body, Breath, and Soul - Understanding how emotions speak through respiration.

• The Element and Its Shadow - Learning the Metal element's virtue of purity and its wound of rigidity.

• The Breath and the Word - Mantra, sound, and mindful exhalation for emotional release.

• The Ritual of Release and Renewal - Letting the past rise like smoke.

• Everyday Spiritual Remedies - Simple practices with food, scent, and posture to restore daily ease.

• The Healing Story - A modern parable of grief transformed through breath.

• The 21-Day Healing Practice - A gentle, three-week rhythm for re-patterning the lungs and emotions.

• Integration and Benediction - Visualization of the Lung Deity and the final act of gratitude and grace.

Each page is clear, quiet, and deeply comforting - medicine for both the soul and the nervous system.
Matthews writes in the language of breath itself: brief, rhythmic, reverent.

The book concludes with a silver-light visualization of the Spirit of Purity, reminding readers that Heaven already breathes within them.

Practical yet sacred, Healing the Lung and Breath is perfect for anyone navigating loss, anxiety, respiratory weakness, or emotional exhaustion. It offers not dogma, but companionship - a reminder that the soul always knows how to heal once it is given room to breathe.

"Each breath I take forgives the past.
May my lungs stay open and my spirit pure."
