The Breathable Body av Robert Litman

Most of us are born with the ability to breathe freely and naturally, but as the years go by, our breathing becomes laboured - compromised by fear, disappointment, trauma and pollutants. So we contract our breathing body and create ways that feel protective of our vulnerable selves but actually constrict the oxygen intake and thus the nourishment our body receives. In The Breathable Body: Transforming Your World and Your Life, One Breath at a Time, Robert Litman shares the insights and practices he has discovered during more than 30 years of professional experience in conscious breathing and movement.Born with breathing difficulties and suffering from asthma as a child, Robert found ways to overcome his own childhood PTSD and now shares trauma-sensitive teachings to help people breathe and live better. You can change your life - including alleviating symptoms of asthma, snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, digestive difficulties and fatigue - by changing how you breathe. The techniques in this book will teach you how to support and protect your body and its respiratory system.Through conscious breathing, movement, sound and a clear understanding of anatomy and respiration, we learn habits that support healthy and natural breathing.
