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? 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. The book starts with a personal experience shared by the author and how that led him to the path of healing himself and healing others. It's definitely trauma that makes a person who he is, that's for sure. 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.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?

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. Po prečítaní DYCHU od Jamesa Nestora som si hovorila, že ďalšiu knihu o dýchaní asi čítať nepotrebujem. Potom som si ale prečítala tento úvod a chcela som sa dozvedieť viac.Babies know how to breathe until they are about three (posed by a model). Photograph: Jose Luis Pelaez Inc/Getty Images Druhá časť má názov HLBŠIA PRÁCA a zmeriava sa na prepojenie dýchania a emócií. Všetky emócie - tie pozitívne aj tie negatívne - vedú totiž k reakcii tela. Buď emóciu prejavíme (dýchanie aj emócie plynú, smejeme sa, kričíme, plačeme…) alebo ju potlačíme (čo sa prejavuje zadržiavaním dychu a “uväznením” emócie vnútri). It’s wonderful to empower people with breathing tools that can improve and transform lives,’ says Stuart. ‘After I lost my girlfriend to cancer, I was on the brink of despair until I discovered that just by tweaking something we all do all day, every day you can rewire your brain and change the way you think and feel. I want to help as many people as I can to learn these simple yet profound techniques – they’re so easy to incorporate into your daily routine and will bring so many benefits in terms of your health and happiness.’ 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. Kolegyňa vraví - načo to čítaš, veď vieš dýchať, inak by si zomrel. Čo tam treba študovať...na..ježiši, to má až 330 strán?
