Samenvatting:

A simple, practical, step-by-step guide to help you stop overbreathing and relieve the symptoms of panic, anxiety and stress.

In just 4 weeks you can get your health - and life - back on track with this essential guide to retraining your breathing.


Learning how to breathe properly can be the key to leading a happier, healthier life. You may think that you already know how to breathe, but a combination of life, work and environmental factors mean that many of us don't breathe properly - and it is having a major impact on our health and wellbeing, even if we don't realise it.


The number of people reporting anxiety has rocketed in recent years, and for the millions of people experiencing stress, anxiety and panic it's important to be aware that incorrect breathing can cause and contribute to these disorders. Registered nurse and breathing retraining expert Mary Birch has helped many people with these disorders dramatically improve their quality of life by following her simple guidelines, now available in this book.


Breathe contains a 4-week, step-by-step program to retrain your breathing pattern, as well as guidelines on lifestyle, exercise, food and nutrition. It also contains stories of people who have positively transformed their lives by learning to breathe properly to inspire and encourage you.


You don't need any special qualifications or experience to retrain your breathing - all you need is to make the commitment to live better by breathing better.

Get back to basics and transform your life with this simple four-week, step-by-step breathing retraining program.

In her years of teaching breathing retraining, Mary Birch has found that the majority of her clients experiencing symptoms of panic, anxiety and stress are overbreathing, sometimes significantly. Generally, they are not aware that they are overbreathing, or that this is linked to symptoms. Reducing breathing to the normal level has an enormous impact on reducing stress, anxiety, and panic and restoring a sense of calm.

Most people will begin to feel an improvement in their symptoms within a week of implementing the strategies contained in this book, sometimes even within a few days. But Mary recommends a minimum four-week breathing retraining program for a reason: the body has to adjust to the new and improved breathing pattern, and this needs to become automatic, so that you do not revert to a disordered breathing pattern and chronic overbreathing in times of stress.

Part 1 of this book provides an explanation of the link between overbreathing and stress, anxiety and panic symptoms. Part 2 contains a four-week program with weekly guidelines to help people experiencing these issues to improve their breathing pattern and gain long-term relief.

If you struggle with symptoms of panic, stress or anxiety, this book could help change your life in a matter of weeks.
