A choleric boss, an argument with your partner, a traffic jam on the way home - as soon as we get upset, not only our mood turns down. In our autonomic nervous system, the sympathicus takes over. And our organism reacts as if looking right into the eyes of the saber-tooth tiger: stress hormones like adrenalin are released, preparing the flight reflex. As long as the nervous system is in balance, it can regulate itself after some time. But connected to widely spread cultural diseases, many people are constantly in the alarm state. Yet the opportunities to activate the relaxing counterpart - the parasympathicus - are easy to learn, as breath therapist Dr. Wilfried Ehrmann explains in his new book 'Coherent Breathing'. His recipe for sustainable health starts with heart rate variability, which informs about the state of our autonomic nervous system. With the right breathing frequency, our nervous system is optimally tuned in to the most important functions of our body. And this not only lowers our pulse, but also directly affects our emotional and social mood. Highly comprehensibly and practice-oriented, the psychotherapist provides information about how we can find to more tranquility, joy of life and motivation with the help of our breathing.
