Since the book Breathing for life was published, I have been asked to give lectures to healthcare professionals in fields such as psychiatry and physiotherapy. The lecture is suitable for

Anyone who wants to take
  responsibility for their own health, their own performance
and their own stress levels
Healthcare professionals
Management and middle
  management in trade and industry and the public sector
People who for various
  reasons are associated with NAV.no

I have developed a 45-minute lecture. Your breath is a dynamic tool and conscious use of your breath will produce measurable results for the individual.




Main subjects
Breathing – health
Breathing - stress
management
Breathing - behavioural
changes
Breathing - presence

It is important to take charge of your own life. Take responsibility for your own health, performance, behaviour and stress levels. This is your responsibility even if you are ill. It is very rare that everything about us is unhealthy at the same time. Focusing on the healthy part will strengthen the weak part. I am not just ill, I am also well.

What happens in the body when we breathe, and what happens in the body when we are stressed? How can we consciously use breathing methods to manage stress? Can we actually enjoy our day-to-day stress? We constantly communicate with our bodies through breathing, thoughts and emotions. We must ask ourselves: What kind of messages would I like to give my body?

Your breath is intrinsically related to your autonomous nervous system. The way you breathe will therefore always affect your body and mind.




We have been given the opportunity to control this unconscious physiological process in a conscious way. The interaction between your breath and your autonomous nervous system can be beneficial in many situations. Your breath is a dynamic tool which will help you achieve better health, increase your performance, heighten your presence, change your behaviour and manage your stress.



Marianne Magelssen, author

We have a tendency to seek help everywhere else but from ourselves. The human body is capable of self-regulation and self-healing. We have all experienced the body’s self-regulating and self-healing powers, just think of a bruise or cut you've had – it heals on its own without your conscious influence. When we are present in our own body and work with it, we strengthen these abilities. When we are tense and take shallow breaths, we suppress these abilities. The breath affects all the processes in the body, which is why it is a dynamic tool for interaction with your body.
