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... 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. 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. Ak nedýchate poriadne, vaše bunky a orgány ani váš mozog nedostávajú palivo, ktoré potrebujú na dosiahnutie optimálneho zdravia.

In Breathe In, Breathe Out, Stuart takes you on a journey to discover a hidden power within you that can change the way you think and feel. His accessible exercises, grounded in research and developed over years of practice, will help you to:

In het eerste deel legt hij uit wat de samenhang is tussen gedachten, gevoelens en je ademhaling. Je krijgt informatie over verschillende soorten ademhaling. Hij koppelt zijn theorieën ook steeds aan oefeningen, die je als lezer meteen kan uitproberen. De focus ligt aanvankelijk op oefeningen om rustig te leren ademhalen, waarna hij het verband gaat leggen met de invloed op je lichaam. Zo leer je omgaan met angsten en stress. Zelfs beter (in)slapen en omgaan met fysieke pijn komt aan bod. 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

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. In Breathe In, Breathe Out, breathwork expert Stuart Sandeman reveals the hidden power of breathing and how, by changing the way you breathe, you can transform the way you think and feel. Since tragic loss brought him to breathwork, Stuart has changed the lives of thousands through his signature sessions. Now, he wants the same for you. The first step to improving your breathing is to become aware of it, says Hartley. You may notice you are holding your breath more than you realise, or taking shallow breaths. “Breathing is subconscious, as in it goes on 24 hours a day and most of those we don’t notice, but it’s the only system of the body that we have some alertness over and have some ability to change,” says Hartley. “Find out how you breathe first – place one hand on the lower belly, one hand on the upper chest, take a few breaths and notice which part of the body rises more.”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). Tenslotte in deel 3 leer je je focus en ademflow nog verbeteren en ga je je aangeleerde ademhalingstechnieken implementeren in je dagelijkse leven. Zo kan je je stress op het werk reduceren, je kan sportprestaties verbeteren, maar je gaat ook je vooraf gestelde intentie kunnen behalen. 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. 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.” 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.

Väčšina z nás dýcha ústami, čo nie je celkom správne – ako sa zjednodušene hovorí: ústa sú na jedenie, nos je na dýchanie. No pritom dýchame najmä ústami a to nám môže spôsobovať mnohé zdravotné ťažkosti alebo vedľajšie účinky. Váš nos filtruje, čistí a sterilizuje vzduch s cieľom ochrániť vás pred tým. Kým povolí vzduchu vstúpiť do klubu, dá ho do poriadku. Má na to viaceré metódy. Teaching children breathing exercises helps them to improve concentration and reduce stress and anxiety (posed by a model). Photograph: SDI Productions/Getty Images 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. You can become stronger, healthier and happier than you’ve ever imagined. All you have to do is Breathe In, Breathe Out.Breathing is a powerful, accessible tool to calm your stress, reduce your pain and manage your emotions. Since tragic loss brought him to breathwork, Stuart Sandeman has helped thousands of people transform their lives, simply by changing the way they breathe. We are all surviving, Hartley points out – we take in 23,000 breaths in a day – but she says there is room for a better breath. “These micro-happenings throughout our lives sadly make this wonderful toddler breath turn into this crotchety teenage breath and on into adulthood.” 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.’ 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.
