Product Information

Since tragic loss brought him to breathwork, Stuart Sandeman has helped thousands of people transform their lives, simply by changing the way they breathe. De auteur baseert zich in dit leerproces op wetenschappelijk onderzoek en geeft informatie over biologische processen. Zijn redeneringen zijn dus niet uit de lucht gegrepen, maar zijn gefundeerde visies. Het is de bedoeling om als lezer op regelmatige basis aan de slag te gaan met de oefeningen uit het boek.

Photograph: Jose Luis Pelaez Inc/Getty Images Right beneath our noses, some 20,000 times a day, our heart and lungs work in perfect harmony to bring energy to our bodies and life to our cells, and they have done since the day we were born. But have we really harnessed the potential of our breath? Edinburgh-born Stuart Sandeman – breath coach, Radio 1 presenter and now Sunday Times best-selling author – wagers that most of us would benefit from fine tuning our breathing habits. Indeed, Stuart has found simple breathwork techniques invaluable when coping with his own grief after he tragically lost his girlfriend to cancer. You can become stronger, healthier and happier than you’ve ever imagined. All you have to do is Breathe In, Breathe Out.

In deze nonfictie Adem in adem uit gaat Stuart Sandeman meteen concreet aan de slag door je reeds bij de inleiding een intentie te laten bedenken, een doel dat je vooropstelt om je leven te veranderen. More than being a life force, breathing is proof that we're alive, and something which is proof enough of our existence has the power to heal. How? Let's leave that for contemplation alone that this book subjects us to. As someone living with PTSD, this book became a bit too personal, not to mention that this one is the first non-fiction self-help book that I've read in years! This book turned out to be exactly what every person living with trauma needs, because it opens a whole other dimension of healing through breathing. The anxiety gang would agree that breathing exercises during overwhelming situations are quite helpful. More than the breathwork and the calmness that it brings of the danger passing, it helps us to dive a bit deeper into our being, the being that wants to heal, the being that wants to find out the reason, the being that wants to find the purpose of it all. Breathe In, Breathe Out is a practical, illuminating guide to living a healthier, happier life through breathing. Good breathing will change your world. All you need to do is breathe in, breathe out.Strange isn't it? Because all we ever do and all we've ever been doing since we were born is breathe! So how can something so easy as breathing help us in surviving and managing our trauma response, in short, change our lives? Hij schreef dit boek zodat ook anderen met behulp van ademhalingstechnieken kunnen leren om dieper te slapen, beter met stress om te gaan of angsten te overwinnen. Kortom, bewuster en vooral juister ademhalen kan leiden tot een gelukkiger en gezonder leven.

Dokopy je tu 40 cvičení s dychom, a nie je to taká tá kniha na jedno prečítanie, ale niečo ako domáca lekárnička. Bolí ma hlava? Aké bolo to cvičenie, ktoré na to pomáha? About 80% of the people Hartley sees in her sessions are “upper chest breathers, so that when they breathe in, their intercostal muscles [between the ribs] and their shoulder muscles are overused. Their chests puff out and hardly anyone is breathing really well into their belly, which should be the foundation of the healthy breath.” Others breathe through their mouth rather than nose. “So there’s all these intricacies in the way we breathe and there’s always room for improvement.” These are exercises that promise to help us become better breathers, which, it is claimed by practitioners, can transform our physical and mental health by improving immune function, sleep, digestion and respiratory conditions, and reducing blood pressure and anxiety (or transporting you to a higher realm of consciousness, if that is your thing).These might seem like trivial questions, but your breathing can explain how much stress you're under. It can reveal your emotional state. It can even hold the key to healing trauma. And that's just your breathing over the last 20 seconds. Nuž, mýli sa - vynikajúca kniha, o tom ako sa naučiť poriadne dýchať, aby ste mali lepší a zdravší život. V knihe nájdete cvičenia, ktoré vás preberú, upokoja a zlepšia váš výkon v akejkoľvek oblasti. Naučíte sa lepšie sústrediť, naštartovať svoju tvorivosť. Správne dýchanie vám pomôže zbaviť sa zlozvykov a nepotrebných návykov... Heel belangrijk om te vermelden, vind ik de vlotte leesbaarheid van dit boek. Stuart Sandeman legt alles uit in begrijpbare taal, duidelijk en concreet. Tekeningen vullen de uitleg aan waar nodig. Er is een aangename afwisseling tussen theoretische inzichten, voorbeeldcasussen, eigen ervaringen en de eigenlijke oefeningen. Deze laatste vormen de kern van het boek, want het zijn de oefeningen waarmee je zelf aan de slag kan gaan en dus meer controle krijgen op je eigen ademhaling en daardoor op lichamelijke processen, zoals emoties en gedachten. Watch a toddler breathe, she says, and they do it instinctively – their tummies swelling with each in-breath. Hartley believes it is when children begin school that bad habits start setting in that last a lifetime – they sit for long periods, move less, and start to experience emotional stressors that affect breathing (we are designed to take shallow breaths while under threat; it is just that now we feel as if we are under threat all the time). “We go into this fight-or-flight mode and the muscles contract. We start holding our breath a lot more than we should do. It can be anything from feeling nervous in a classroom or something can be happening at home, and you start doing these micro-breath-holds, which morph into an adult dysfunctional breath pattern. It happens without us realising it.” She has created a programme for schools, School Breathe, which launches next week, after being piloted in three schools in east London, teaching children breathing exercises to improve concentration and reduce stress and anxiety.
