"Among its many vital benefits, this book gifts its readers with
'Your Seven Minute Wonder, ' a unique method for awakening the
realization that the breath interconnects all that lives, how the
seemingly simple act of breathing is an integral part of what it
means to be a universal human. Inhale the wisdom of this book, and

"As your breath wanders so does your mind, as your mind wanders, so
does your breath. Now in seven simple minutes you can transform
your breath, your mind, your love, your intimacy and certainly your
sex life." --Dr. John Demartini, founder of the Demartini Institute
and educator and author of The Heart of Love "'Hate is not the
opposite of love, the opposite of love is individuality, ' D. H.
Lawrence once said. By individuality, Lawrence meant separation. In
The Promise, Mark Whitwell reveals methods of overcoming separation
and isolation, which are increasingly epidemic in our culture. It
wasn't supposed to turn out this way in our wired, interconnected
world, yet there is evidence that loneliness has never been
greater. Whitwell's teachings are a path not just to greater
intimacy in relationships, but also to a greater intimacy with all
of life. It has been said that we protect what we love, what we are
intimate with. On this, our world may depend." --Larry Dossey, MD,
author of Reinventing Medicine and The Power of Premonitions
"I think it is wise to say, as Mark Whitwell does in this
invaluable new book, that sex begins with self, and that all that
you do to know yourself will ultimately enhance your life and your
relationships. Seven minutes to a new you! Kudos to Mark for this
intimate step to love and sex!" --C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.,
author of Energy Medicine
"I have prescribed Mark's 7-minute yoga routine to hundreds of my
patients...[they] report a renaissance of energy in their lives, as
well as experience deeper sleep, a stronger body composition, more
vitality, less depression, and an astonishingly improved sensuality
and sex drive. I believe in offering my patients the most natural
and powerful medicine available, and Mark's routine most certainly
qualifies as a top contender!" --Prudence Hall, MD, Founder, Hall
Center Venice "Mark Whitwell offers readers a sensitive and very
inspiring approach to a topic that matters to everyone. This is a
lovely book." --Caroline Myss. author of Defy Gravity and Anatomy
of the Spirit "Mark offers us a simple self respecting practice
that gives astounding results. To trust breath as the source of
life gives powerful intimacy to self and others. From this practice
I feel a deep connection with the reality that is my life. Just do
the daily 7 minutes to experience the fullest expression of your
self." --Jackie Mills, Group Fitness Director, Les Mills
