==

With respect to the claimed copyright infringement ==

The material I placed here was given freely to be used by members of the International Breathwork Foundation. In Fact some of the base material can be seen on the Foundations website, for example see information here: http://www.ibfnetwork.com/conscious-breathwork.html

The IBF's website has been around for some considerable number of years in one form or another and the material that is presented there has not changed a great deal.

The Foundation is a non-profit international organisation that was started in 1992 to foster and further the work and understanding of breathwork globally.

I have left a voice message on the website of the women claiming to have bee infringed.

I now await your decision.

Merging to Breathwork
Hi Breathwork, just a note to say that I plan to merge Conscious Connected Breathing to Breathwork, because only one sentence of it is about CCB the rest is about breathwork. This is understandable as CCB is just the basic component of some forms of breathwork. This could easily be explained in the breathwork article. No content will be lost- a good thing in the CCB article is the listing of older/other culture's forms of breathwork. This will be added to the breathwork article. I'm going to go for it but feel free to edit the breathwork article once I've merged, if you think anything needs changing- as long as the tone of the article stays neutral. Your contributions are much appreciated! Merkinsmum 21:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Breathwork references
Hi on the Breathwork article, could you possibly tie the refs in for me? What I mean is, we don't just give a long list of books at the end; when each book/article is being used we make a note in the main text. If you could see if any of them are used and add references using WP:CITE that'd be great!:)Merkinsmum 11:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
