From Danielle Rose MD
A
champion swimmer wanted to improve her ease of breathing
and recovery times for multiple general race days
and triathlete
events. An
opera singer was losing her high notes and sought psychotherapy but eventually just
learned to breathe better and her high notes returned. A classical singer was losing her
mid range and regained it
with optimal breathing techniques. An emphysema victim learned
that breathing was not what he thought is was,
for over 50 years. It had become a
permanent misunderstanding even to the point of doing it improperly when
shown the proper
way. Several sessions were needed to change this persons breathing. An asthmatic was
retrained
to breathe easier and the symptoms disappeared. Stuttering and spasmodic dysphonia can reduce or disappear
when one learns to breathe optimally. A shy young lady
learned to breathe better. Her shyness lessened and
"I met a man and got
married". Some eliminated their sleep problems, hypertension, type "A"
responses, wimpy
ways of being. Some increased their energy many fold, told off their
suppressive boss, told the truth to their
spouse, opened up to loving themselves, and set
boundaries where needed. Some healed from illness or near death.
There are thousands of stories like the above.
Dear Mike:
I don't know if you remember me, I came up from KY with my
husband Richard. It has taken me long to write this email, but I
have thought often how grateful I am to have found your help. I
was very depressed and full of anxiety when we met, and I
thought I would never be able to function without
anti-depressants, but thanks to what you taught me, I feel
normal again, I have faced many challenges, but I have done so
with my own strength, I am totally free of meds, and it feels
great! All those doctors didn't know at all how to help me with
my breathing, they had no answers, what a waste of suffering and
money! You understood so well my distress and knew how to fix
it. Sure there is still room for improvement, I know that if I
were more diligent with your training I could be so much better,
but I guess I am a little lazy, and I have taken it a lot
slower, still my life is so much better!
Mike you are a God sent, thank
you so much, from my husband as well!

The way I see it
is people can go weeks without food, days without water,
and only minutes without air. We put endless amounts of
time talking about the fuel efficiency of our cars but
the majority of us don't give time of day to the fact
that oxygen is a primary fuel of the body.
Oxygen/Breathing efficiency was something I greatly
overlooked before going to see Mike White. He has given
me a structure and an awareness about breathing that
will follow me the rest of my life.
To anyone over the age of 20: Improve the quality of
your life! Inhale all of Mike's information on
Breathing.com and then as you continue to be intrigued
by his work go and spend some time one on one with him.
Working with Mike was like meeting my lungs and
diaphragm for the first time.
Your always looking for information on what to eat, the
best exercises to do, and how to stay looking young. So
why not address things from the foundation. Breathing is
required for ALL of those things and they will ALL be
better utilized once you bring Optimal Breathing into
your life.
Mike White is Optimal breathing.

Mike—
I’ve worked as a successful radio, tv &
corporate voice-over performer for over 30
years, and ran into vocal difficulties in recent
years.
In looking at what was happening, I sought an
ENT’s view, and learned there was no physical
damage, or condition. That settled, I came to
the stunning, surprising realization--a blind
spot, really--that I had never been
professionally trained, and had simply reached
the limits of being self-taught, and had been
harming my voice through on-going, regular,
uninformed practices.

Working with you over the weekend, I learned my
breathing is something I cannot simply take for
granted. It is--key. And there are rules.
I came to you, open, for insights and practices,
and left without disappointment. You are a very
good teacher--you had to be to get through to
me.
You have a depth of experience, wisdom from
which to share, and a high level of intuition,
and listening; the ferocity of a true master;
and the skills to deftly place those openings
right where they’re needed.
I learned to attend to my breathing in a
certain, clearly defined range; tips on how to
breathe; physical & vocal practices for opening
up and warming up my voice; fun activities to
get me to those places (not everything is
clinical), and the recognition that the path to
express myself, through voice, is, again, as
wide and open as I wish it to be.
For the many bad habits I had gotten into, it
will take practice, intent, and patience, to
cause the new habits.
I’m thrilled, delighted, even relieved, to have
been referred to you, and had the blessings of
working together, closely, in a focused,
intensive way, to help launch the next era for
my expression.
Thank you, Mike, for helping me re-gain my
voice.
Best,
Josh Cohen

Josh presented with
symptoms very similar to
Spasdmodic Dysphonia.
He had not be diagnosed but it sounded and
reacted quite like a combination of AB and AD

Gypsy and very interesting man.
"I have sang and played
music for 35 years. I had no idea I was capable of singing with such
strength, control, confidence and ease as I have been until after working
with Mike for only 5 hours."
From Mike: In Berkeley I got to work with gospel, opera, jazz, blues and
pop singers but over the past 6 years having until recently been so isolated near the Great Smokies as I
was, it was not often I got to work with musicians. When I do
it is always such a treat. It's like working with a very unique and special
musical instrument all by itself. You can listen to his "old" voice
here. The new stronger, more clear, naturally expressive voice is being
recorded and will appear soon. mgw

Asthma
Learning to breathe under the guidance of Mike White has
not only saved my life but profoundly altered its quality. I
the first training session, Mike address my restricted breathing, which
was steadily becoming worse, despite the inhalers I was using three and
four times a day. He taught me the
Leg Lift and shhhh breath, a
deceptively simple and powerfully effective breath which stopped within
days my chronic coughing, and began to clear and relieve lungs and
bronchial tubes desperate for air. He also used
carefully controlled hand pressure and other techniques to "wring out
and soften hard and atrophies lung tissue. This
"re-birthing" of my lungs has affected my entire being. The
relief from asthma turned out to be only an introduction into fuller and
more vibrant participation in life. In the process of learning to
breathe more deeply and easily, old fears and insecurities are
beginning to dissolve. I am discovering the joyful calm that
supports life at its base. I believe Michael Grant White's work with
the breath is a critically important contribution to an area of scientific
research still in its infancy. Marie D. California.

A recent private session client arrived
with high anxiety, high blood pressure (medicated), poor sleep, low
energy and sub-par blood oxygen. 3 days later his blood pressure
had normalized (un-medicated), sleep was great, anxiety way down to
"relaxed", and resting blood oxygen up 4 points.
I would like to thank you so much Mike.
When I came to you I felt like I was on a verge of having a heart attack
or losing mind. I drove 4 torturing hours, it was well worth the 4 hours
drive. On my way home I had no panic attacks, which is amazing, I cannot
drive in a car for 30 minutes without a panic attack and I drove 4 hours
with none. I feel like you have given me part of my life that I thought
was gone forever. These panic attacks have been a journey for me, but
for once in my life I feel I am on the road to recovery. Thank you
again,I will definitely be back .

I’ve been a singing professional for years but you
showed me a new way. My power, singing ease and flexibility increased
incredibly and I handle levels of voice, fear and energy that would have
crushed me just a short while ago.

Flautist
Breath is life, but for the flautist breath is
also art. Working with Mike freed tensions that had built up through
years of playing so I was able to recover my full capacity, control
and ease of expression. I recommend him highly to anyone who wants to
maximize his or her breathing capability.
