We all breathe automatically. But unfortunately, that doesn't mean we're breathing properly. The stress of everyday life, worries and pressures cause us to breathe too quickly, too shallowly or too briefly. Targeted breathing exercises not only help you cope better with everyday situations – more serious physical and mental ailments can also be alleviated through proper breathing. The 55 breathing techniques of mindfulness experts Ronald Schweppe and Aljoscha Long show how easy it is to retrain your breathing and thus achieve a secure body feeling, improved health and greater resistance to stress.
