Looking for books about breath techniques
I am learning more about how I tend to hold my breath or breathe tightly in stressful situations--would love to learn some techniques that help me to overcome this habit, and help me meditate. I have meditated in the past, but find myself so very short on time--kids up at 6:30 am and I am with them all day--that I need some guidance on short meditations or "breathing breaks".
Also, websites with ideas/techniques on breathing would be so helpful.
Thank you!

there's something called 'lifeforce yoga' its primarily for depressions/anxiety..but delivers a variety of paranayam (breath techniques)
things like alternate nasel breathing can really either slow you down or speed you up...food for meditation here.
I would just google paranayam. a quick search found this:

kundalini is also flush with short 'meditations' which are more like exercises..and therefore easier to 'get into a state' but difficult nonetheless
good luck.
