I have been on a committed healing journey since my mother's passing in 2021. Earlier this year, I had a nagging sense there were still deeply suppressed emotions and wounding beyond the capability of the many modalities I had sought out.

 Most days the best I could feel was a 6 on a scale of 1 – 10, okay, but not great. I was surviving but not thriving. Through a series of synchronistic events, I stumbled upon an interview with Bob and immediately set-up a discovery call.

It became immediately clear that Breath Alchemy was the missing piece I was ready for. I knew I needed to give my all to this process and felt that I did.

Many sessions left me completely blown away as I tapped into old traumas that had not surfaced in years. During one session in particular, I had the gift of seeing from a much higher perspective, my family's lineage of trauma and how that had trickled down through the generations and had impacted my life.

 The witnessing of many past events, people's actions and suppressed emotions with a non-judgemental and curious attitude truly helped to transmute the pent-up grief and suffering that continued to hover like a dark storm cloud

. This new feeling of spaciousness within has opened me up to more love, light and opportunities that were never possible before.

 Bob's expertise and guidance along the way was extraordinary. It can sometimes be underestimated how another's presence and experience to expertly guide, encourage and hold space has over the success of such an important process as Breath Alchemy. Bob definitely knows his stuff. I am blessed that Bob came into my life and believe it was divinely ordained.

So much gratitude to you Bob for being a way-shower and sharing your gifts with those who are seekers of truth, light and love.

Greetings Bob!

You’ve had a phenomenal impact on my life! Thank you!

I just watched the recording of our final and first Breath Alchemy session.  The first session was hard to watch for as before working with you and learning Breath Alchemy, I was shut down and numb.  It was not safe to feel my feelings or be me.

After our Breath Alchemy and coaching sessions, I have taken off my mask and body armor.  I am no longer a great pretender. I am now able to confidently be my authentic self.  It is safe to be me! 

Life is not happening to me; it's happening for me! I am accountable for what I've created and will create.  I've moved from a victim to an active, conscious co-creator. 

The intention for the 2nd session of Breath Alchemy was to have the courage and presence of mind to take risk and rise.  Now that we’ve completed the 2nd session, I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone into unlimited possibility and potential!  My world has gotten larger and I’m excited!

Bob, you are a patient, talented, supportive, funny, wise, loving bad ass!  You had the courage to do your work.  Be the highest version of yourself which enabled you to provide expert navigation to me, so I too can be the highest version of myself.

As you know Breath Alchemy is so simple, yet so powerful! It’s life changing and provides a natural high. It’s a skill that I will use for the rest of my life.

Thank you for everything Bob!

Infinite blessings and all our love,

At the time I signed up for Bob’s Breath Alchemy program, I was experiencing severe headaches literally every day. For a driven entrepreneur like me with a very busy schedule the impact on my life was huge. I knew I had to do something very different to what I’d tried in the past and I’ve tried many alternative healing methods. I met Bob in L.A. in January 2018 and when I saw his passion for his work and heard about the results he gets, I knew instinctively that he could help me.

I did 12 sessions with Bob and right at the outset his method had a positive impact. Bob is hugely passionate about his method, very patient in guiding you through the sessions and provides comprehensive information to help you understand the mechanics behind his method.

What I love about the method is the extensive utility value, it’s a powerful tool I use to increase energy levels, get into a focused state, relax, sleep better, stay composed etc.

And my headaches have literally disappeared! Wow! On the odd occasion when I feel a headache coming on (which by the way is only a fraction of the discomfort I used to experience), I go straight into circular breathing and it dissipates. If you’re experiencing any kind of pain, anywhere in your body, Bob’s Breath Alchemy can resolve it. I have a power technique for life and I’m deeply grateful to be enriched with such a life changing method. Thank you Bob!

Thank you for kicking my headaches into touch.

Warm Regards

Hi Bob,

I can sum up my experience from our 3-month Breath Alchemy coaching like this- I went from pieces to peace.

During our time together, I discovered a lot about myself, including I was a people pleaser and a phony.  Looking for external validation, acceptance and love.  I now choose differently; therefore, I’m going to write this testimonial to you from my heart.

Our coaching sessions provided many milestones in my life.  Here are a few major events from our time together-

1.    Life is not mental, its experiential.  Feeling my feelings! ALL of my life I have suppressed and avoided my feelings. During our 1st session together, you gently and lovingly provided a safe space to be vulnerable.  You coached me thru getting out of my head, into my body and feel my feelings. I’ve shifted my perspective regarding feelings for as now they are clues for me to seek out and explore. I know now to get out of my head/story, drop into my body, feel the feelings and integrate. 

2.    Unconditional love for ALL experiences.  Complete shift in how I experience life.  I’m learning to dance with life and not fight with it.

3.    Self-Empowerment- I was not aware until after one of our sessions that I was giving away my personal power.  I have reclaimed my power and liberation!

4.    Self-Worth- I am loveable and worthy!  I’m making myself a priority in my life. Being aware of self-sabotage and choosing differently.

5.    Increased inner calm, joy, excitement, jubilation! The incessant chatter gone.  I’m no longer on the mental loops!

6.    I now have awareness to choose consciously or my mind will choose for me.  The importance of staying in the present moment to disable ego and enable Higher Self. 

7.    I’ve been holding my breath all of my life, waiting for the next unpleasant/painful event. I now choose differently. Everything is happening for me, not to me. I now have the awareness and resources to fall in instead of falling out.

Bob, you have shared so much in such a short time, I’m forever grateful.  My I am no longer the version of Stacy I was before I met/worked with you.  Infinitely grateful for/to you Bob!!

Thank you for being the highest version of yourself so that I may do the same!

All our love and a hug,

 

I am a 68-year-old practicing psychotherapist who is just finishing 3 months of weekly Breath Alchemy sessions with Bob.

I’ve been practicing various forms of meditation, pranayama and energy work for several decades and was drawn to Bob s Breath Alchemy Program because his integration of breath, focus/concentration, acceptance and embodied sensation instantaneously resonated as an invaluable and unique tool to integrate unresolved issues on the personal level whether the issues were of a conscious or unconsciousness nature.

A healing passage that could circumvent the mind which, in truth, is seemingly the most formidable obstacle to presence, resiliency and equanimity.

Each session was unique in terms of how deeply and differently experience unfolded with Bob s adept facilitation.

Bob’s mastery was obvious as was the resonance of his own presence that permeated and enhanced the experience.

Our physical bodies are the repository of every unresolved issue that we have experienced on this journey whether they are physical, cognitive, emotional, relational, existential or spiritual in nature.

My own experiences in Bob’s sessions were powerfully resonant of presence, consciousness and peace particularly as the cycle completed itself so organically.

I cannot adequately express my gratitude to Bob for his own journey of healing, conscious growth and creativity that now puts this beautiful technology into Our hands, bodies, heads and hearts.

I consider it an honor to highly recommend this timeless and amazing exploration to those who find themselves drawn to both this work and it’s creator.

Blessings,
 
Bob Rigby

Before I began the Breath Alchemy sessions, I was very nervous and depressed about my seeming inability to deal with the changes surrounding my move from Wyoming to Colorado. I often felt overwhelmed and fatigued.

Since doing the sessions these emotions have greatly integrated for a new sense of calm and confidence I now routinely experience.

      I found several of Bob Frissell’s short reminders on how to do the Breath Alchemy technique to be extremely helpful, both those he told me in our Skype sessions and those he wrote about in the modules. These reminders have been the greatest help in my receiving the maximum benefits from Breath Alchemy.

      The greatest benefits have been a renewed life energy that is with me throughout each day, a much calmer frame of mind, and a far more positive attitude about my life and experiences. My interactions with family members are much more peaceful, clear, and loving!

       Thanks, Bob, for this great Breath Alchemy! It's bound to have a profoundly positive effect on the planet!

        With gratitude,

       Barry O’Riley

I have had so much tension & pain trapped in my body from childhood on, especially in my face and in my gut. There seemed to be no way to get rid of it, so it has been my constant companion for decades on end. 

Finally, I found Bob’s Breath Alchemy program. Finally, a way to start clearing some of this!

His Breath Alchemy technique brings chi into my body, which highlights areas of stuck energy. By focusing on the most prominent area(s) of stuck feelings and welcoming them, and breathing through it, at last some of the trapped pain contorting my facial muscles and trapped emotion in my solar plexus have been undone and reintegrated!

 I am being set free by this technique! I am becoming whole, and gaining back my energy. Thank you, Bob!

Hey Bob,

Inventory of the past year after starting regular Breath Alchemy sessions.

- stopped drinking alcohol after years of frequent use.

- stopped taking prescription sleep medication for bouts of insomnia.

- stopped taking prescription medication for stress.

- stopped daily morning coffee intake

- restarted TM practice after years of not being able to do it because of “side effects”.

- Shortness of breath and asthma almost non-existent; stopped requiring frequent use of inhaler medications. This past summer was reported as being very bad for asthma too. I did not take steroid medication in 2015 that my doctor said I could benefit from.

- Sinusitis almost non-existent; only one sinus infection with a fever in 2016 (had at least four cases in 2015 taking antibiotics after all four had at least two weeks of fever)

- Foot pain resolved. Saw a surgeon in 2015 for bilateral foot pain that came after daily walks and would frequently prevent me from sleeping. No medical or surgical treatment was received.

- Lost thirteen pounds (after having lost another thirteen pounds the year before). I was diagnosed with weight related pre-diabetes a few years ago indicating need for weight loss on my part to prevent diabetic illness.

- Blood pressure normal- avoided medication after a year of very high BP

- Sky high triglycerides (in 2015); normal in 2016 taking only prescription fish oil.

- Liver function test normalized (abnormal in 2015)

My retina specialist said there is some improvement in eyesight in my most damaged eye.

Here are more things I have noticed over the past year that I have added to my list:

- notable increase in sense of well-being. People also notice I am happier and look healthier.

- feeling more optimistic

- feeling more supported by the universe; noting that beyond feeling this too, that things appear in my life from those around me that feels supportive.

- feeling more sense of purpose; a greater feeling of connection to a “higher self” within me… a deeper part of my being where my true self resides.

- a better sense of knowing what I need to do now in my life (e.g., a more predominantly vegetarian diet, daily exercise, and regular yoga classes in the last year). Also more clearly acknowledging the benefit of a daily disciplined meditation practice in my life. Increased use of Reiki in my life (joined the regional Reiki association also).

- realizing with greater clarity and confidence that I need to address my personal health issues with intention (and personal responsibility) and not just succumbing to a medical-system oriented approach.

- I feel five years younger; when I go to bed at night and awake in the morning in particular I note, “Wow, I feel so much better physically and emotionally than I did a year ago”. However immediately after a Breath Alchemy session I feel even younger than that (ten years younger easily). I have much more energy for daily exercise than I did before starting regular Breath Alchemy sessions

- I note more emotional freedom; particularly in regard to relationships with those close to me and I notice more clarity also.

- in a group that I work with regularly I have been referred to as a leader; beyond just feeling confident I feel grounded in a deeper core part of my being- a very spiritual part of myself, especially right after a Breath Alchemy session that same day.

- intuition is more notable than a year ago.

- increased synchronicity attracting things in my life that help me to hear what I need to hear or to know things that would be helpful.

With much gratitude,

I stumbled upon Bob’s work by circumstance in early summer of 2019.

After spending the past two years of my life in anger, depression, and self-doubt - following a very difficult divorce process - I finally realized that I needed a massive shift in perspective in my life.

When I first was guided by Bob through a Breath Alchemy session I was amazed to feel some deep emotional purging during this hour of deep breathing. I felt very safe and comfortable just being in Bob’s presence when he continued guiding me throughout the following weeks of our work together.

What really showed me the power of this breathing technique was the fact that no session was alike and my body and mind system always brought me to the next step of physical and emotional healing and deep spiritual downloads.

Bob is a truly remarkable teacher and I highly recommend him for any inner work someone attempts to do. I am continuing the Breath Alchemy sessions about twice a week and always feel a long-lasting sense of peace afterwards.

I also highly recommend his books as they are a wonderful companion to this work.

I chose Breath Alchemy's private sessions with Bob, the so called "bakers dozen".

During each session, Bob has been totally present and focused on improving my breathing technique and how the body is responding. I found my belief structure, and the techniques I was already in the process of doing were compatible with the Breath Alchemy sessions.
Before I continue describing Bob's sessions, I should say...

Several months before starting Bob's sessions, I had been diagnosed with a tumor in my pancreas, cancer.

Every three months I would go in for testing. Right around the time I started with Bob the tumor had doubled in size and the threat of surgery was looming over me. I began using his Breath Alchemy technique and would meditate that the tumor be stable so that I wouldn't have to have what the doctors refer to as the 'Mount Everest of surgeries'. To this date, it is stable.

The other variety of techniques and clearings that I had been doing, became completed about half way through my sessions with Bob. At which time, I was only doing the Breath Alchemy sessions.

During this time, I found a huge increase in calmness, gratitude, and peace from my sessions. While during my sessions, I continued to experience the awareness and clarity of the body, mind and breath. All of which continues beyond.

I highly recommend Breath Alchemy - for anyone can benefit - no matter what the reasons may be.

Bob,

Prior to joining Bob’s Breath Alchemy program, I had reached a point in my life where I was just going through the motions; I felt little or no enthusiasm for anything, and as a musician, feeling cut off from my creative flow, I was deriving little or no satisfaction from my work, and I felt like I was just creating “junk” music.

I had read and enjoyed all of Bob’s previous books and decided to purchase his latest 25th anniversary edition of Nothing In This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are. I was inspired by the sections on Breath Alchemy and especially how it spoke of the possibilities of using it as a tool for achieving creative breakthroughs.

That really resonated with me, so I contacted Bob, and after an initial consultation, I signed up for his Breath Alchemy course.

I did 12 sessions with Bob, and after the very first session, I experienced a deep integration, and felt a lifting of the barriers that had been keeping me quite stuck. This session, as did all subsequent sessions, completely exceeded my expectations; I felt a return of the excitement and enthusiasm in my writing and performing that seemed to grow with each session.

I began to wake up each morning with a huge grin on my face, as I eagerly anticipated and prepared for my days’ work.

I was simply amazed!!

I found Bob to be very passionate about his work, and his expression of certainty in my ability to rekindle that creative flow had a hugely positive impact on me!

I am now doing sessions on my own, and I am most pleased with the results, as I now know I have a tool that I can use for as long as I walk this Earth!

I am most grateful to Bob for creating and offering this life-transforming technique, and I highly recommend this work to everyone!

Best Wishes,

Working with Bob, in my Breath Alchemy sessions, was stellar and insightful. He is a fun coach and was very focused, present and available for my experience.

Looking back before starting Breath Alchemy, I noticed myself feeling reactive and agitated about things during my day. I resisted much of reality the way it is. I would spin in my mind about how things should be different in society or how people should behave better.

After Breath Alchemy, I have felt more willingness to accept the way reality is and not resist it in subconscious projection. I allow for what is with a sense of neutral presence. I let life be more as it is now. I feel less impatient and more in the flow and am better able to find enjoyment in the present moment.

During the sessions, I was able to transform limiting feelings that arose. I experienced becoming super present. My awareness felt so heightened and the aliveness that came over me was astonishing, healing and blissful. 

The take away from this work, that I am still noticing, is experiencing more freedom with most everything that happens during the day. I learned how to harmonize with any feeling that arose in my body and found a way to make peace with it. I breathe more consciously now. I am more present with myself, more in touch with the sensations in my body. And can enter into the moment with greater presence of heart, which has given rise to feeling more aligned with my higher self and more available to synchronicity.

Most grateful,

I was looking for information about sacred geometry because I am writing a psychologist’s manual, and Bob Frissell’s work appeared during my research.

I was very stuck in my writing, and my imagination was not working at all.

I read his books, I bought two versions, one in Spanish and the other in English and I have to say I find it hard to put the books down.

One of the most important contributions in Nothing In This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are is the Breath Alchemy chapter, where the author explains the technique step by step. He then gives the details of its’ potential to transform your life.

I was so enthusiastic about this that I contacted Bob though his web site and did the course with him.

As I began to trust myself and my inner wisdom, my creativity immediately started to flow again; and my tendency to procrastinate simply vanished!

Bob is a very humble person and it seems that he does no fully realise how important his contribution is, and the Breath Alchemy has already helped me a lot.

This course is a before and after in your life, and I recommend it to anyone who feels preoccupied or stuck in life.

It is my experience that Bob sends out the boat to rescue you from turbulent waters. I wholeheartedly recommend this course!

Hi there Bob,

I am moved and impressed with Breath Alchemy and Bob's attentiveness to me and the direction he has provided in discovering this powerful tool.

My past struggles with addiction and grief led me to search for deeper meaning and happiness in life. I have continued to struggle in other areas of my life that I believed this practice could help.

 I originally came to be interested in breathwork during my time working the 12 steps of recovery. I have practiced mindfulness and meditation with good results for acquiring a sense of peace and focusing my mind. Breath Alchemy far exceeds all of this.

I came across Bob's book Nothing in this Book is True, But It's Exactly the Way Things Are. In it, he introduces Breath Alchemy, and I was immediately fascinated by its claimed benefits. When I reached out to Bob, he got back to me right away and detailed a lesson plan to do circular breaths with him via Skype once a week for 12 weeks.

I have a physical disability that has left me somewhat emotionally disconnected from my body. In my first session, I became frustrated with myself, resisting the process, but Bob encouraged me to learn to accept whatever feelings came up and relax. His direction and guidance in this process are invaluable.

My main goal, to quit living in my mind's judgments and enter a place of living out of my heart and true purpose has been exceeded. I have gained a greater sense of peace and spontaneity. My creativity is fired, and my dreams have become more active and vivid. I still have struggles, but Bob has taught me a valuable resource for continued growth!

I first came across Bob Frissell when a good friend handed me her 'Nothing in this is True ...' book. I read it quickly as it was well written and intriguing. I was challenged by the information that at once seemed so familiar yet outside the realm of my reality.

When I read about Bob's experience with his Breath Alchemy sessions, I called and signed up for 12 sessions. I did not know what to expect so I didn't expect anything, and was just open to whatever experience was coming my way.

Bob has given me a tool that is basically life changing.  Each session has left me feeling very calm, relaxed, centered, energized, in tune with, and receiving clear messages from my inner compass, and feeling great!

I feel like I have been given a phone line to download information directly from my Higher Self. Actually, I feel I have been taught to use the phone line that I already had all along. 

Have you ever had the experience of a great idea just spontaneously popping into your awareness? Where did it come from? I have asked myself that a lot in my life and I have been looking for a way to be able to tune into (and download so to speak) that information at will, my entire life.

 Have you ever had that feeling that your mind could do more than what you have accessed so far? I have and I have looked for a long time to find a tool to help unlock that potential, to get out of my own way and let it flow. I wanted that door when I felt myself getting stuck and I needed to clearly hear my own internal guidance system.

The really great thing was that I had no idea that was what I was going to learn!

Perhaps it is different for everyone but that was my experience and I am so grateful to Bob for his coaching and his straight-forward, no nonsense ability to teach this!

And upon completion of my 12 sessions, I am doing really fantastic! As always, it has been interesting and wonderful and challenging.

 I did my first breathwork session on my own yesterday for an hour and it was amazing! I actually heard Bob’s voice in my head giving advice and direction and I was grateful and amazed and was at a level 11 on a scale of 1 - 10 when I ended! Loved it, and I am so grateful that I was given this life-transforming tool!

Thank you, Bob!

Warmly,

I decided to participate in Bob’s Breath Alchemy after reading his books. I was dealing with a lot of anxiety and stress at work before starting the work, and Bob explained that through his Breath Alchemy, I would be able to let go.

The online sessions were really practical and Bob is very punctual, and very good on how to create a relaxed, harmonious breathing rhythm.

Through his guidance I felt very supported in applying the circular breath.

Now I use the Breath Alchemy during my meditations. It calms me down and it helps me get centered and present, which is what Breath Alchemy is all about!

I must say that my anxiety levels have gone down drastically, whenever I feel like I need to calm myself down I now use Breath Alchemy to help me get in my body again, instead of the mind. 10 out of 10! Really happy with the results!

I would highly recommend anyone who is on the journey of healing and self-discovery. It really helped me a lot and I wish for anyone to experience the same level of healing.

Thanks again Bob!

When I chose my profession, I did so because of my desire to help others.

However, a packed schedule, and the feeling that I simply could not do everything that I was required to do, left me feeling exhausted and demoralized. Yes, I love my work, but the pace was killing me.

I was on the verge of burnout and not know it. I didn’t accept help when it came my way, as I wanted to prove that I was a top performer every day.

Then, as my blood pressure kept rising, and I was hospitalized from sheer exhaustion, and after losing some sight in my right eye, I finally realized that I needed help; I had to find a way to heal myself.

I had read Bob’s Nothing In This Book Is True book, and I was very impressed with what he said about Breath Alchemy, so I contacted him for a consultation.

I made what I feel is one of the best decisions that I have ever made when I choose to work with Bob.

My personal Breath Alchemy sessions with Bob were the most powerful healing experiences of my life, leaving me remarkably relaxed, calm, stress-free and clear.

I feel as though my life has been given back to me;  I now have 24/7 tools that I can use to nip stress in the bud, and I give myself a Breath Alchemy session every week.

I have newfound energy that extends throughout the day, with enough left over to spend quality evening time with my family. I am now getting to know my 4 year old son, and I am loving every minute of it!

Dear Bob,

Prior to Breath Alchemy, feeling stressed and overwhelmed was my greatest source of struggle.

I often experienced overwhelming anxiety, depression, fear, guilt, and other self-centered feelings. As a result, I sometimes lacked the discipline I needed to carry out important tasks that ranged from being fully productive at work, to small daily chores. I let anxiety “cripple” me.

In addition, it caused me to hold tension mainly in my shoulders which led to physical pain/discomfort which caused teeth grinding, ear pain, neck pain, etc.

It also caused me to be in my head, thinking that others are judging me OR it caused me to judge others.

And though I had reached what seemed like a point of no return, I am thrilled to be able to say that as a direct result of participating in the Breath Alchemy program, all of that has been put in the rear-view mirror!

The very first session was truly amazing as I felt the stress and anxiety just melt away, leaving me feeling totally relaxed, fully alive and very present!

Subsequent sessions built upon the amazing release that I felt in the first session; as a result, the tension in my shoulders has vanished, I am far more productive and present at work, and I come home feeling enthused about spending quality evening time with my family!

I feel as though I have been given my life back, and I am grateful to know that I now possess a life-altering tool that I can use for as long as I walk this earth.

Most grateful,

I have experienced many modalities in my 25 or 30 years of metaphysical journeying and I can say wholeheartedly: Breath Alchemy a la Bob Frissell is the most healing and beneficial gift I have ever given myself. The oxygenation alone is worth the price of admission!! Take it from someone who spent many, many hours confined to a desk and computer.

Beyond that, Bob's approach of non-judgment and allowing while coaching the breathing sessions allows integration into wholeness that is life enhancing and enriching. It is taking me to a wonderfully grounded and joyful place energetically. In a healthy, safe, calm and supportive way, Bob is guiding me to the skills that I will be able to use any place, any time for the rest of my life--and it's as close as my nearest breath!!

Hi Bob

I came to Bob and his Breath Alchemy program in an attempt to become a better parent and role-model for my 2-year-old son. Far too often, my temper would flare up and just take me over; and I would find myself lashing out at my son.

I would always then feel guilty and regret it later, and I would try to make it up to him, but the damage was done.

I knew I needed help, so I signed for a consultation with Bob. He calmy reassured me that if I was really willing, that I could indeed come to terms with my runaway emotions.

Long story short, it has all worked out beyond my wildest expectations; I find now, that really for the first time, I am able to be fully present with my son, and with my wife. I am able to be with them without judgments and expectations – WOW!

I feel like I have been given a new lease on life, and I am most grateful to Bob for giving me a toll that has completely transformed my life.

With much gratitude,

Hi all,

I hope everyone is doing well. This past weekend I decided to take the Breath of Life workshop with Bob Frissell. It turns out to be the best critical decision I made in a while. I had such powerful integration experience from it and gain insight at many different levels. Before taking it, I thought it would be just another breathing practice. I felt quite balanced emotionally that my mind was telling me I probably don't need much emotional clearing. Good thing my higher self-guided me differently.

In my first session, I realized quickly the value of this experience and the healing potential it had. By Sunday, during the second Breath Alchemy session, I applied techniques that Bob taught us. Under his care and supervision, I was able to experience deep integration, where the energy shifted from potential pain to acceptance, gratitude and bliss. It was intensely beautiful and amazing. A big "WOW".

I'm taking the time to share this because I highly respect this method and its potential in healing subconscious emotional trauma. I say subconscious because I didn't know I have it in me. Apparently, all incomplete bitter past experience including past life experience and birth trauma are stored in the body in the form of stuck energy that can give us bitter fruits at unexpected times. Breath Alchemy can help free us from this stuck energy. I'm glad to experience it first-hand.

Much Light,

Before Breath Alchemy, i felt a weighty singularity of unprocessed emotion that i could not access readily, and that i could only tell was there by the effects it had on my life. It was determining how I might react to things, or what things i might avoid.

I had feelings of unworthiness, and self-doubt, and an unseen weight that would tell me, “Don’t go in that direction, you might be uncomfortable”, but in a way that i don’t always know that’s what’s happening until later.

It kept me from doing things i might otherwise do, or only managing a half-assed effort. It was messing with me in intimate relationships as well.

I had feelings of panic about being overwhelmed by decades of these repressed emotions.

After 12 weekly sessions of Breath Alchemy with Bob, I still have repressed feelings, but I’m no longer afraid of them.

With Breath Alchemy, Bob has guided me in learning a method by which I can go ahead and feel the things that pop up, with the confidence that they won’t kill me

Now the unwelcome and, seemingly, out of the blue emotions I used to dread, I now actually kind of look forward to, because I have learned how to transmute them into life-enhancing energy.    

As cliché as it sounds, my daily “problem” has become my daily opportunity, and it’s a welcome change

With continued practice, I feel sure that Breath Alchemy will only serve to improve aspects of my life from the spiritual to the mundane

Thanks Bob,

Dear Bob, I'm still reeling from the experience of your incredible facilitation of Igniting Your Inner Light. I think what really put it over the top was the exploration of LOVE and its' powerful ability to captivate the galaxy.

Namaste,

I too want to thank YOU from the bottom of my heart for opening up a whole new world for me. It has been so incredible since then - truly magical - and I have the intention upon keeping it this way until it's time to transcend! Thank you for being such a sweet, docile, charming, amusing, safe teacher. I truly hope we all get to be together forever...!

Love,

Wow! Thanks so much for the mind expanding and love inducing Igniting Your Inner Light. You are the heart of the new counter-culture.

Bob I can’t thank you enough for what this has done for me. I feel whole for the first time in my life. I've integrated my negative emotions into positive vibrations. My heart is spreading love far and wide, and I have you to thank. I finally feel my full potential as a human being.

In Love and Light,

It is a great course.. Thank you so much! You have managed to sift through all the chaff and bring together uniquely powerful wisdom for transformation. I am amazed!!

All the best!

Hi Bob,

I did the meditations this morning and felt so much love and energy flowing through me to all life and the universe. Wow - such powerful stuff. Thanks again Bob for sharing all this! I feel very blessed and am determined to pass the blessings on.

In Gratitude,

Bob:

Thank you so much for a wonderful course I It was life changing, I can never look at things the same way again. And for the better. I find myself smiling for no reason I can think of.

I will highly recommend the course to anyone who might have an interest.

Hi Bob,

Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge with me You are a wonderful shining light – thank you for the work you are doing!!!

Namaste,

Hey Bob,

I hope all is well with you. I'm sending you this to thank you again for the course, and for all that you have done for us. I was listening to a song today by Nas called "We're not alone" that reminded me of you, and like Nas says: 'You inserted something in me or reminded me of something that made me feel worthier'! You have made me a better person and for that I can't thank you enough!

Namaste,

I wanted to take this opportunity to express to you my appreciation and unqualified endorsement for your course. It gave me a taste of what Unity Consciousness is and was a foretaste of our coming ascension. I highly recommend this course for anyone seeking spiritual growth.

Thank you for a great course I'm glad I went with my intuition and got it. You filled in a lot of the missing pieces in my life, I feel very free! Thank you again.

Love and light,

Thank you for your assistance and the part you played in me remembering myself. I love you and Thank you!!

Bob, I am very grateful for all of the knowledge, insights, and spiritual growth that I received from Igniting Your Inner Light. It indeed has changed the course of my life dramatically! With much gratitude and love.

Bob,

Thank you for a perfect course. I am truly a different person.

Love,

“Bob Frissell has done it again. His ground- breaking book twenty- five years ago opened our minds to an amazing explosion of spiritual knowledge. Now in this 25th Anniversary Edition, Frissell surpasses himself with another breathtaking expansion of our understanding and experience of reality— and adds to it a full explanation of his powerful Five- Step Breath Alchemy healing technique. No better guide exists to the deeper nature of reality.”

“I had read the first version of this book, and it had a profound effect on my life. This new version is an eye- opener that further unravels mysteries and cover- ups. Bob’s divine insight has uncovered hidden truths that raise our consciousness and have the power to change our lives and the world as we now know it. Bob has definitely tuned into the Creator Frequency! If you are searching for Truth, I highly recommend this book.”

“If you’re looking for a fast- paced, eye- opening, big- pictured, wild ride of book, here you go! Bob Frissell sweeps aside the veils of conventional reality to explore what’s happening behind the scenes—from extraterrestrial visitations and multidimensional events to walk- ins and ascended masters relating the ‘true history of the world.’ This twenty- five- year updated version emphasizes the desperate need for global change and personal transformation. We live in critical times that can be deeply moving—but we must listen, feel, and sense at deeper levels, expanding our hearts to move beyond right and wrong, us and them, as we open to All That Is. As Frissell notes, this is the story of nothing less than the birth of a new humanity and the co- creation of Heaven on Earth.”

“The 25th Anniversary Edition of Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are gave me my first ‘real’ understanding of how life on this planet came into existence. Now resonating deep within me and thus vibrating within my entire being. It’s as though this new truth that I felt changing me from the inside out and in such a profound way that my body’s internal mechanisms and operations machines were now self- aware. My mind, body, and spirit connected with this information so well that I took the full download all at once, step- by- step hungry for more.”

“If ever there was an aptly named book, this is it. In a highly readable and sincere manner, Nothing in This Book Is True But It’s Exactly How Things Are proceeds to thread together every New Age belief and conspiracy theory into a grand unified field theory of kookiness. They’re all here: gray aliens, ascended masters, free energy, angels, cattle mutilations, crop circles, Breath Alchemy, Earth changes, the Great Pyramid, Sirius, and secret colonies on Mars. And yet, despite the sheer unbelievability of half the book, the author’s goodwill and spiritual intentions are so infectious that the book ends up being a heartwarming experience.”

“This book is a metaphysical classic; it is one of my favorite books of all time. The 25th Anniversary Edition of Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are is single- handedly responsible for lifting the veil from my eyes. It forever changed my life and opened me up to the path of enlightenment.”

“Your new book has invoked quite a stunning transformation within me. After forty years of spiritual study and practices, I can say this is one of the greatest books of its kind. In fact, one of a kind. Truly stunning. I have never read a book quite like this and it triggers an enormous response down to the core of my being. I will be processing its effect for quite some time. It has reignited something deep within me at just at the perfect moment. Great job, Bob!

It feels like it was written just for me, and I believe many of your readers will feel the same. Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are 25th Anniversary Edition weaves together so many threads of knowledge into a meaningful coherent whole. So many pieces of the puzzle of our existence come together in this work.

You provide the largest of contexts imaginable and provide an accessible invitation to participate in not only the unfoldment of our Being, but in the grandest scheme of things which ultimately is part and parcel and intimately one with ourselves. Thank you!”

“I loved Bob Frissell’s book: Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are when it first came out many years ago. And I especially love this new updated 25th Anniversary Edition.

The fact that this book has been translated into twenty- five languages and has sold over 500,000 copies means that Bob is on to something very important. It will make you think, maybe twice, bout many things. It is filled with crazy wisdom! It’s a genuine gift to all spiritual seekers.”

“I was a young man during the 1970s counterculture and crossed paths with Bob Frissell in the early days of holistic health in California. When my generation read Bob’s book in its first edition in 1994, we enjoyed the irony of the title, and dove into its secret knowledge, finding truth and hope for the future.

Now, twenty- five years later, Bob has updated and built upon that original, adding deeper truths, an element of urgency, and yes, greater hope. He reminds us that through understanding our origins and going through the transformations necessary to embrace the future, we’re somehow going to get past all this dark night and evolve as a people and a planet. I appreciate his lifetime of work with Breath Alchemy as one of the main healing modalities that will help us get there.

The mainstream is now savvier. Today’s generations are not as blind to the secret truths of the universe. My daughter Vicky devoured Bob’s original as a teenager. You could almost turn Bob’s title around for today’s Matrix Generation to something like, Everything in This Book Is True and Nothing Is What It Seems, and it would ring just as true.”

“I discovered Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are in the winter of 1996. I had been on my spiritual path for almost twenty years and by that time I was into the energetics of Life, thanks to things I had learned from The Celestine Prophecy and Reiki. I was in the early phase I understanding that Life is a process of Awakening to Whom and What we really are. I was working with and using the tool of ‘coincidences.’ These occasional experiences are not simply amusing random events, but rather they are the Cosmos’s way are getting our attention that there’s something important unfolding; ‘Hey! Stop and pay attention!’

Mysteries presented in TV shows and books, such as One Step Beyond, In Search Of, Chariot of the Gods, and others, had always fascinated me. But in the 1960 and 1970s, that kind of material typically only reached back several thousand years. Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are reaches back hundreds of thousands, millions of years into the past and sketches out how consciousness has been using third- dimensional reality as a playground and a test lab for Life that extends into the lower realms and higher realms; for eons! Just within the model of the Precession of the Equinoxes, life on this planet has expanded, flourished, plateaued, and gone back to sleep dozens and dozens of times. Who we are and what this is all about is more fantastic than most of us ever imagined. And I’m just talking about third- dimensional reality!

It may well be impossible to explain and understand the vastness of the All That Is, but having a sense of the awe and wonder can make the unfolding expedience all the more alive. Eventually we will all awaken. But Bob Frissell’s updated metaphysical- spiritual classic Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are is like an endless fractal that can open up your awareness to extraordinary, far- out possibilities.”

“The veils have been lifted after reading Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are. It’s a very enjoyable read which transitions the reader into a quest of self- discovery. It becomes an incredible voyage undeniably riveting and so intriguing that I couldn’t stop reading. I was captivated in such a way that I had never been before! I found myself already upon the index and still wanting more of this newly acquired knowledge on how the universe operates and is operating right now. This book acted as the vital nutrients essential for my growth during this spiritual Harvest season we are collectively dovetailing into right now throughout our universe. Thank you from the entirety of my being, Bob. This book has changed my life forever.”

“Well - Bob Frissell has done it again. I remember reading this book about twenty years ago shortly after it came out, and it was my introduction into a universe of expanded knowledge, insight and spiritual consciousness that I had not dreamed of, and began a journey I never anticipated. In the intervening years, thanks to Bob's work, I myself went back and read many of of the primary sources to which Bob refers. In this new expanded edition - well worth reading even if you read the original decades ago - Bob not only incorporates many new insights. What is striking is the huge number of extraordinary spiritual perspectives he somehow manages to integrate. You will probably not believe everything you read in the book - I can't say that I do - and probably not agree with everything. But you will not be the same person after reading it, as I was not originally - and that is not something one can say about many books that come our way.”

“This book will change your life! Get ready to have a mind-blowing experience! Bob is a gifted writer and brings his immense knowledge to the pages of this book. I could not put it down! Enlightening and well written. Highly recommended to all souls on their awakening journey. I also recommend Bob’s Breath Alchemy work for integrating emotional blocks and help with anxiety. Thank you Bob, for your work.”

“If you want your consciousness raised, you must read this book! I read the original 25 years ago but it got away from me - maybe that experience was creating the need for me to get the latest edition which is expanded by about 10 more chapters. Bob is a master teacher!”

Thank you so much Bob. Since I came across your book Nothing is true............it's the missing piece of the puzzle that I have been seeking for years.

I live in a little Hamlet called Rougham in Norfolk, England and I send my deepest gratitude to you for writing the book. I am struck by your authenticity. I know it came my way because of asking for an answer. I live my life in service to all beings.

If you are ever out this way, come and have a cup of tea! We have a beautiful coastline.

Love to you
