Hello @george_mcgeorge,
thank you for this interesting blog on a much too rarely discussed and very underestimated topic.
Some time ago I saw a film about training methods used by top athletes who, in addition to yoga, meditation, autogenic training and hypnosis, also regularly performed special breathing techniques. With continuous use, the regeneration phases of the athletes could be significantly shortened and their performance increased.
Even if it only affects your topic to a very limited extent, I would like to present a song by Sia here. She is one of my absolute favourites!
"Breath Me" is a beautiful song of hers that was released in 2004 - long before she had her first mega world hit with "Titanium" in 2011.
Sia has interpreted the last part of this song in different ways in her live performances. I chose this version from 2007 in the legendary "Bat Bar" because she sings calmly here throughout, which I find very harmonious. And the interplay between cello and grand piano is simply fantastic.
