The mind is regarded as the most important capability of the human species, yet most people have little control over it as it races from thought to thought.
Mind activity, stress, depression and anxiety are nothing more than the absence of control. How much control do you have over your mind? For how long can you choose to stop thinking?
A quiet mind is one that you have control over. Quite simply, you can choose to think or not to think. Anxiety Free is a simple and straightforward self-help book that teaches you how to gain control over your mind. Within three weeks the result will be more control over thoughts, better concentration, more energy, more joy, happiness and appreciation for life. This book is for any person who wishes to have clearer functioning of his or her mind and not to be bogged down with useless thinking.
Anxiety Free will help you to:
- Correct breathing volume using a physician-developed program known as the Buteyko Breathing Method
- Recognise the activity of the mind, the nature of thought and how to step out of thought
- Learn simple breathing exercises as developed by the Late Professor Buteyko to improve blood circulation and increase oxygenation of tissues and organs, most notably the brain
- Understand the nature of the mind and how to step out of thought by using simple self-help tools
Control your mind or allow your mind to control you. What decision do you make?
Umfassend, detailliert und sofort umsetzbar erklärt Ihnen der Atemexperte die Buteyko-Atemtechniken, die den Körper stärken und zahlreiche Beschwerden lindern oder sogar komplett beseitigen. Ob Diabetes, Epilepsie, prämenstruelles Syndrom (PMS), Rückenschmerzen oder auch Long Covid – diese und viele weitere Erkrankungen hängen auch mit einer falschen Atmung zusammen. Im Umkehrschluss haben Sie die Heilung selbst in der Hand: Die Buteyko-Atemmethode ist der Schlüssel zu Ihrer Gesundheit. Mit der von Profisportlern und Ärzten getesteten Technik lernen Sie, die Sauerstoffaufnahme zu optimieren und dadurch das Nervensystem zu beruhigen und die Lungenfunktion zu verbessern.

Der Asthmaexperte Patrick McKeown führt Sie in die Grundlagen der Technik ein und zeigt Ihnen einfache Übungen, mit denen Sie sich das Überatmen ab- und richtiges Atmen angewöhnen.

Überarbeitete Neuausgabe des Titels Den Mund schließen. Selbsthilfe-Handbuch aus der Buteyko-Atemklinik
Chronisches Überatmen verengt die Blutgefäße, was zu einer unzureichenden Sauerstoffversorgung des Gehirns führt – Brain Fog, Nervosität und Schlafstörungen können die Folge sein. Mit einfachen Übungen regulieren Sie das Atemvolumen und bringen die Blutzirkulation und Sauerstoffversorgung ins Gleichgewicht. Das beruhigt den Geist, verbessert den Schlaf und steigert Ihr Energielevel. Zusätzliche Achtsamkeitsübungen helfen Ihnen, im Alltag fokussierter und konzentrierter zu werden und Ängsten keine Chance zu geben.
Ohne es wahrzunehmen, atmen die meisten Menschen viel zu viel, was zu verminderter Leistungsfähigkeit und Gesundheitsproblemen führen kann. Kontrolliertes Atmen versorgt Muskeln und Organe mit der genau richtigen Menge an Sauerstoff. Das erhöht Fitness und Wohlbefinden und hilft sogar beim Abnehmen.
Patrick McKeowns wissenschaftlich belegte Techniken, die auf der Buteyko-Methode basieren, zeigen Ihnen, wie richtiges Atmen geht. Anhand eines Selbsttests können Sie bestimmen, wie effizient Ihr Körper Sauerstoff nutzt, und lernen dann, diesen Wert durch einfache Atemübungen zu verbessern. Eine Vielzahl an Trainingsplänen hilft Ihnen dabei, die perfekten Übungen für Ihre individuellen Bedürfnisse auszuwählen. Egal, ob Sie Übergewicht oder Atemwegserkrankungen wie Asthma bekämpfen, Höhentraining für eine gesteigerte aerobe und anaerobe Ausdauer simulieren oder mehr Energie, Fitness und Konzentration im Alltag erlangen wollen – mit Patrick McKeowns Programm atmen Sie sich ganz einfach zu mehr Lebensqualität!
