Langsamer atmen, besser leben

Crucial to coping with stress is the ability to find the right balance between activity and rest in order to repair cell damage and recharge energies.

Thomas H. Loew explains how we can integrate decelerated breathing into our daily lives. He motivates readers to tap into the invaluable potential of this simple psychosomatic breathing therapy for self-regulation. To this end, he presents tangible research results, which he explains in a clear and understandable way.
