Breathe Into Being - Awakening To Who You Really Are By Dennis Lewis

A Review By Andrea R. Garrison - Online With Andrea

It is a fact that breathing is truly essential to life. As I read Breathe into Being I felt like I was taking a relaxing, meditative journey focusing on the beauty and the power of breathing to connect, to know, to heal and to understand all. This book takes you through the full experience of breathing, proper breathing which includes inhaling and exhaling deeply from the diaphragm in which Lewis refers to as the spiritual muscle. Breathing properly helps us to release constrictions and to increase energy in the upper chest and spine. When you read this book you will appreciate the stillness, the presence and the sensation of the moment and the freedom that you gain from experiencing total relaxation when you focus on the breath. Breathe Into Being Awakening to Who You Really Are is a quick, thorough read that will help you to breathe better and to appreciate the power that we each have to awaken to who we really are by simply breathing into being.

The Bike Trip Created and Performed By Martin Dockery

A Review By Andrea R. Garrison – Online With Andrea

I saw The Bike Trip at the Frigid New York Festival and it turned out to be a very memorable theater experience. The Bike Trip is an excellent monologue written and performed by Martin Dockery. Martin’s presence and his voice take complete control of the stage whether he is projecting loudly or whispering. You will travel with Martin extensively as he visits San Francisco, India and Switzerland. With his hands he leads and molds the scenery subtly, clearly, vividly drawing the audience into every single emotional, physical and psychological detail which includes his reflections on his own trip as well as references to the experimental LSD trip of the late Chemist Albert Hofmann. Martin has mastered his talents to the point in which he is able to capture your attention and maintain it every single second by creating a very solid visual picture as if everything he describes is right there in front of you. He has the ability to draw the audience in to his story that is carefully crafted with his voice, with his body, with his hands. The transitions are unnoticeable and very smooth as he travels from place to place. Martin is an excellent writer and a great actor who truly commands the stage. Props usually add depth to a scene but with Martin no props are needed because he can create what ever he wants with his skilled expressive hands. So if The Bike Trip shows up in your neighborhood, see it. You will not be disappointed. You will be captivated by Martin’s superb performance as he brings each scene to life. In fact if you have the chance to see any thing that Martin Dockery does on stage I say go for it.
