I took my blood pressure half hour before watching this. 154/84. I watched and started breathing as suggested. Then I took blood pressure again. 120/82. I cannot believe the effect...... think I need to read the book. Thank you for this great interview
I am 77 years old and I am just now learning about the nose I have always been a mouth breather and I have asthma and bronchial problems I have to admit when I quit smoking I was three packs a day but that’s 44 years ago I intend to practice this every day what I’ve learned is it’s never too late humming is my friend 🤗
My takeaway, the slower you breathe in and out through your nose with deliberate attention and focus the healthier you become, also when you slow down to chew your food slowly, the structure of your body levels up for optimized wellness
2004 I got divorced, 2009 I did art of living breathing techniques course/ Indian guru sri Ravi sankar, followed by meditation classes until today i follow through! I am so thankful because I feel like it opened my sixth senses and I would recommend everyone to do this. So the best outcome is I wish I did this courses before divorced. Because today I am totally different person with healthy body mind and soul.
I love that Tom is honestly skeptical about the people he brings in. At least initially, and willing to do his research to see if the ideas are worth sharing with us. And shoutout to his team for suggesting these guests!
Basically it's Pranayama one aspect of Yoga, where Ida, Pingala and Sushumna is all balanced. Which represents Moon- cool breathe, Sun - Hot breathe. Lots of deep studies in Pranayama will teach all above he has mentioned , here in India, it's been practiced from 1000 's of years.
Thank you for bringing the science to breathwork. I am a respiratory therapist student. Not with the goal to work in a hospital following the status quo but rather to research and teach these same concepts. I cant wait to read this book!
Love the attention on the breath, I have has asthma since I was 6 yrs old. After I recently read another interesting book on breath (The oxygen advantage) I have been breathing so much more efficiently and my life's quality has definitely improved massively.
@@agrimmsounds Of course my friend. What worked best for me was to learn to slow down my breathing consciously and use the full capacity of the respiratory system, it's grossly divided into three parts, first, expand the belly, then the ribs & diaphragm, and then the chest. We as asthma patients are used to breathing shallowly and through the mouth, but the optimal resting breathing pattern is deep, slow, and through the nose. Honestly, the best advice I can give you is to invest just a little bit of money in 1. Understanding the breath a bit deeper (book Oxygen Advantage is a great shout for just 12 bucks) and then 2. Find a way of practicing proper breathing. I've found a great course teaching Pranayama (Yogic breathing practice that will improve your resting breathing pattern) for just 10 bucks. It's called yogalap, I am not affiliated with them I just really enjoy their Pranayama course and it helped me for sure. Hope this helps and let me know!
@@DutchBuddhist thanks so much! I’ve already been forcing myself to breathe through my nose and keep my mouth closed and I’m already noticing benefits within days. I’m working out again and I have more energy everyday. I’m still starting out with all this but I know it’s going to improve my health dramatically. I’ve been pumped with steroids since I developed asthma at 20 and not one doctor ever talked about mouth vs nose breathing. Not one.
@@DutchBuddhist Oxygen Advantage is a good channel, especially when he explains the importance of carbon dioxide during breath and the simple exercises to open blocked noses....
James Nestor is so intriguing and you, Tom Bilyeu, dude! You have a talent for asking the most brilliant questions ever! Thank you for this incredible video.Now breathe. Much Love.🙏🏾
Lifelong severe asthmatic. Couldn't do breathing exercises because I felt like I was suffocating. I have extreme resistance to natural cures having gone down that route excessively. When I heard Patrick McKeown say 'breathe less' I was entranced. Breathe less? I've always wanted to rest between breaths, it's always been discouraged. I shut my mouth, breathed less, taped it shut at night and started doing abbreviated Wim Hof (using nasal breathing not mouth breathing) and following recommendations on Patrick's channel Oxygen Advantage. I could not and would not make this up. I went from around 9 medications a day to 1/4 dose of my corticosteroid and the occasional OTC allergy pill for convenience where I don't have time to properly do breath holds. It's now been 4 weeks. It changed immediately, on Day 1. Yes, I still have asthma, I use breath holding to manage it. Did a video, will do a follow up sometime. It's life-changing. I would not have believed it. My lung function is low - on good days I've managed to hold my breath for up to 2 minutes during Wim Hof. I don't push it, it's not every day but I couldn't hold my breath for 15 seconds before. You cannot imagine how effective it is.
Wow, that's an awesome amount of improvement and I'm so happy for you! I was stunned too when I first stumbled upon this knowledge. Why do they tell you in school that CO2 is just a "waste product" and not that it's a very potent and natural bronchodilator www.normalbreathing.com/co2-natural-bronchodilators/ or a very strong nerve/brain tranquilizer? www.normalbreathing.com/co2-stabilizer/ No wonder I had panic attacks when I was breathing 28 (!) times per minute... at rest on the couch when I had a severe burn-out...
@@trashmail8 I know.! I veer between wondering why I couldn't work it out somehow and why no-one ever told me this. So glad it helped you too. It makes perfect sense biologically. It's hard to believe it took so long for it to come out. Breathing yourself to death is not something I ever considered. Appreciate those links!
@@cesaraspeaks same. I had a severe burn-out with the final push over the edge being the Mexican flu. My Buteyko Control Pause was 6 seconds. I had constant anxiety and daily panic attacks, 4 migraine attacks per week, cold hands and feet, heart palpitations and a pounding hear beat. Resting pulse of around 90 BPM, I was so tired that I couldn't sometimes turn my pillow around after waking up, my body as frequently tingling all over, I was frequently feeling cold like in my bones, I had frequently extreme sweating attacks... I was stuttering and frequently spoke slowly like I was drunk. My long term memory was not really accessible and I could forget what I was doing in seconds because short term memory forming was truly toast. And frequently I felt like a fish out of the water: not getting enough air. I was really in a horrible condition. Saw quite a few specialist besides my GP ( who only wanted to push some anti anxiety drugs).. blood values were inspected multiple times, had my heart monitored for two days... Objectively somehow everything was with normal values or pretty close. They simply couldn't find anything..."must be in your head". Life changed when I stumbled on a small book about the Buteyko method. Wait.. I'm suddenly breathing almost 30 times per minute at rest.. how has no specialist raised any questions there?!?! Started training, first days were horrible. Even a migraine attack doesn't come close to the type of headache you can get when raising your control pause times ... It was on par with the heavy food poisoning one I once had... It was such a rough climb upwards.... And once you get out of that valley you basically can't even imagine that you can feel so bad as a human.. that breathing alone makes such a huge huge difference in how life is experienced. It's not my full time mission, but since then I'm trying to point everyone to this knowledge. It can make or break lives
@@trashmail8 It's like reading the story of my life. We have to get word out. I know, waking up was like coming round from anesthesia, the mental fog is not something anyone who hasn't experienced it can understand. They think you are 'lazy'. There must be tens of millions who can benefit from this bankrupting themselves on meds which break down your immune system. It has to stop. Thank you for your response! I hope someone else reads it and benefits.
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” ― Leonardo da Vinci
I know flying is possible if we eat light I'm talking about living off of sunlight no dense food eat sun and breath correctly while also connecting with the the earth electromagnetic field while connecteing with the sun human flight is possible I tried this method while sungazeing while being barefoot on earth I heard a ringing in my ear and then I felt lighter I did not fly but felt like I could lol what's holding me back is my diet I have to live off of purely sunlight and universal energy prana in the air
@@Bigdogiswolfing It's a metaphor paralleling this video, in that people refuse to believe abnormal things like monks using breathing to melt snow/avoid hypothermia. The conscious mind of a human has great difficulty believing that flight is possible (or that breathing techniques allow for intentional control of the entire human organism) because in some sense we are all pragmatists, and we can't pragmatically visualize how we could fly until we actually do it or see it done right in front of us.
i just started shutting my mouth during 30 minutes of evening walk and also consciously throughout the day...What a miraculous change? i have lots of energy in me..i am 57..had heart attack four years ago...have a stent placed in my heart...but by the grace of God doing good..This video was life changing for me. I have ordered the tape strips also..going to try that from october....
Useful nose-breathing training tip: while showering, take/hold some (a comfortable amount) water in your mouth. You'll very naturally avoid any breathing through your mouth from that moment on. If it becomes to difficult to continue with the nose breathing, simply spit the water out again. You're in the shower anyway. Tips/moments like these can easily help you gain extra training moments while you keep doing what you were doing. :)
@@RyanFila you can also chew on something, but that's frequently sweet and not good for your teeth. Another option, e.g.walking in the street, is to place your tongue against the hard palate just above your upper teeth. Basically you'll have the underside of your tongue resting against your teeth. It might feel a bit odd at first, but it's relatively easy to get some kind of suction effect so that your tongue automatically sticks into a place there. This will help prevent your mouth from falling slightly open without you noticing. Mouth breathing is basically not possible without breaking this slight suction effect: www.healthline.com/health/tongue-posture
@@trashmail8 Wow! Thank you! That's really interesting and I've never thought about how to breath more out of my nose. Like ways I can make my mind subconsciously do it. Thanks for the tips!
I read "Breath" and I talked about that book for weeks to all my friends. It changed my life in a very positive way. Then I read "Deep" too, not so much useful information for me but a very interesting and entertaining book. Thank you, James Nestor!
Take from the Ocean , what you need , mother nature in harmony with human , also all living beings . Being a Buddhist , Eastern culture , 4 decades in medical field , I have listened to this program ,with full attention . At the end , well worth our time , and like to say , thank you both very much . METTA . ( may you all be well , wealthy and PEACEFUL )
I have read his book 6 months ago. Since then I type my mouth before I sleep and be super conscious breathing from nose. highly recommend his book to everybody.
I feel pranayam is science of breathing with every technique that serves a purpose, I would suggest people to look at some scientific literature on study of Pranayama, most of the modern techniques are derived from those ancient techniques. It’s not just breathing , it’s breathing with awareness I would recommend Anulom Vilom, a very practical technique for mind body balance between your left and right side. 20 minutes can give you great results
I feel trapped when I do that and takes hours to fall asleep so I take it off 😒 I feel I can breathe through nose in day somehow but at night it’s impossible tbh
Yup, this book IS a game changer. James Nestor’s research, discernment, sheer brilliance comes through at the right time. Here’s the biggie: My 18 year old son with special needs has been scripting and stimming since he was 2 years old...Literally, the first night of wearing a tiny piece of surgical tape, the size of a postage stamp, there was No stimming, No scripting the next day. He continues to wear it every night with the same results. I wear the tape as well - feel better, more mindful of my daily breath and most definitely more calm. Those with kids on the “spectrum” will know what I’m writing about. Yes, this is just the beginning...
I became mindful of my tongue posture and breathing over a year ago. In as short as 3 months of correct posture, my snoring started to lessen. My jaw started to come forward. My tongue started to fit between my teeth. My roof of my mouth descended slightly. My bottom teeth straightened out and got shorter. My gums started to look healthier. A while myriad of changes. Just from keeping my tongue in a better position and breathing better. Thank you for sharing this with the world! Impact Theory is definitely changing lives and bringing these simple changes to the mainstream faster and, most importantly it is entertaining to watch!
Absolutely the best podcast I have seen in a long time, maybe ever? Excellent, thought provoking and rejuvinatingly practical! Thank you both gentlemen.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Listened to this 2 days ago. Then did further research, because mouth taping sounded so scary. When I discovered that the mouth taping was about just using a very small piece of tape over the middle of the mouth, to just train the jaw to not slack open during sleep, and was not what some UA-cam vids showed in suggesting taping the mouth shut completely, I decided to try it. Did the small square tape over middle of my mouth for an hour or so before bedtime and sleep, just to test how I feel. Yes it was odd but for some reason I felt it important to explore this test. In that time before sleep, I discovered that this small piece of tape did not stop me from being able to cough, and I also felt this small piece of tape would not stop me from blowing it off, if for some reason I would suddenly not be able to breathe at all through my nose. I then fell asleep with this small piece of tape over my mouth. For the first time in over a decade, I had 2 separate 3 hrs of deep sleep. Woke at 6 am and felt wide awake. I will always be a healthy sceptic, and questions are always welcomed. Discussion not accusations are needed❤️. I am only on day 2 of trying this experiment of light taping of my mouth during sleep, and I just want to share that for years I needed a water bottle next to me throughout the night to alleviate dry mouth, and in one night with mouth closed, didn’t need it. My own saliva production was working. What a beautiful time we are in, where there can be this information shared, and explored safely, We all have the capability to do this! Trust your gut when u hear something that resonates with u regarding health issues. We truly are all in this together, so let’s not argue. Let’s continue to share info. Xoxo
In Indonesian Silat training, we us a count of seven for linear, triangle or square breathing. A count is not a second. It is a count. It tends to slow down the more you practice. The key to all shaped breathing is even time for each part of the breath.
I have been taping my mouth shut for 5 months at night I have asthma and have used steroid inhalers In the 5 months taping my mouth shut I used my inhaler once and I was using the inhaler daily when I learned what steroids can do to my bones as I age I went on a quest to get off the inhalers and I have I am in Texas and it is ragweed time if I make it through this season with no inhaler I have arrived 🥰 Praise God for taping my mouth shut
Seriously, I was just listening to "Breath" on audible and was wondering if you ever did an interview. Of course, you did! I also thought it was too far from what I was comfortable with when I read it in some other book. There was a section about breathing. However, this book (Breath) is an eye opening book. I am not done with it yet but I know I am I am going to buy a hard copy. Thanks, Tom again! Your interview skill is out of this world!!!
I think they usually arrange those interviews when a book comes out or something, as part of the promo. And it seems James is doing just fine with his the sales numbers 🙂
I can’t believe I missed this for one year! And to think this research has been around for sooo long! Thank you for bringing it to light and making by it easy to understand. I hope you find so much more to share with the world!
Forget "knowing" it. Do it and experience it. I had a therapist who gave me a recording to follow to practice diaphramatic breathing. I did it a bit but never had the disciplined to make it a daily habit. However, I've had 3 actual panic attacks in my life (i.e. stress inducing thoughts leading to hyperventaliation/freakout) and 2 of them I stopped dead in their tracks just by doing diaphramatic breathing for 1 or 2 minutes (i.e. the panic attack subsided in 2 minutes or less of intentionally breathing correctly to effect the nervous system). Breathing really is the way to complete balance & self control, as Nestor explains that with practice one can learn to dictate the sympathetic & parasympathetic nervous systems at will, which control literally everything within the physical organism you are. Don't doubt it, try it for real; not just for a minute or 2, but sit comfortably or lie down and inhale through your nose for at least 4 seconds feeling your belly (diaphram) rise, then exhale for at least 4 seconds or as long as comfortably possible. Do this for 20 - 40 minutes and your body will be super calm (and your brain/mind in turn). If you get mental anxiety breathing is THE WAY to learn to calm down both body & mind. It's also great to avoid road rage while in traffic!
Why can I not meet men like this man? A brain, eyes like mine, same age group, proactive, intelligent. I meet men who wear masks for a fake virus. I think we were taught in RN school heart rate 60-100, and breaths 16 - 20 per minute. WOW
With the raising of our consciousness/frequency, that has a huge wave of humanity doing. Meditation and connecting to light we can bring into ourselves, this is huge. Sure sounds like all is connected. This can possibly go down other paths. Absolutely ground breaking. Thank You
Breathing is such a basic skill that is vastly underestimated. There is a reason why we use breathing exercises to calm us down and to meditate. The mind seems to be influenced by the way we breathe, resulting in either stress or calmness!
Thank you so much Tom for having this man on. I love learning about how to improve my health and I think you guys are on to something here. I've started breathing through my nose and out through my mouth. Thanks again Tom for the great videos.
I haven't been able to breathe freely through my nose since I can remember. Ever. Breatheright Strips change my life, sleep, exercise. That's proof enough for me.
Me too, I forced myself to breathe only through nose for several months. It was really difficult at first, my nose would run and be hard to breathe. After several months I am now able to breathe exclusively through my nose.
Me too. Yet I found it interesting how Wim Hof says doesn’t matter if you breathe nose or mouth which Is technically true but like this guy kinda says that the nose dries out. So if u breathe out from nose ur also exhausting out toxins. But Wim Hof method is to hyperventilate so if ur nose can take it then do it how Wim Hof says. My nose drys out when doing WHM ...still tuning the technique
@@powerpaul1423 the concept of wim hof is just to breathe in order to do the exercises at least. Doing the breathing with mouth is not an issue, as long as it's only during the event but in everyday life using the nose.
This makes sense to me and has some connection with the work of John Mew. "..The second you wanna reject something, hit the pause button.." Tom Bilyeu✨💕
Tom with this interview with James Nestor you just open another door to an infinite world for us to discover ♥️ very very interesting, I will surely get James Nestor book. What a great person, a curious, knowledgeable and motivating person 🙌
Thanks Tom I appreciate this. I have suspected that my mouth breathing, sleeping with my mouth open and slobbering is the reason for my teeth sensitivity and weakened enamel.
James Nestor was totally right about breathing out of the nose. Today Instead of doing the Win Hof method my normal way of breathing in through my mouth to take in more oxygen and out my nose I only took breaths through the nose. The results a more relaxed body, more clarity. Usually I will get the tingling feeling Wim mentions but I think each form of breathing can serve a different purpose perhaps? It would be great to hear others in the group and their thoughts and experience with this.
My explanation for why nose-breathing is better than mouth breathing: 1) The nose opening is smaller than the mouth opening. Therefore, it takes longer to complete a breath cycle through the nose. Thus, the blood's CO2 concentration goes up, making breathing more effective. 2) Breathing through the nose has more resistance to airflow than breathing through the mouth. The body responds with more effort, deeper breathing, and better technique. 3) In this case, 1 + 2 > 3. I've been practicing slow nose-breathing with for a few weeks, so I'm not great at it yet. However, I see improvement in my mountain biking habit. I ride steep, rough trails. I can go faster and further comfortably. More importantly, my recovery happens faster. Before, I had to take at least two or three rest days between rides. Now I can go every other day. That is huge for this 63-year-old. I've been using a three part breath - in for five seconds, out for five seconds, pause with empty lungs for five seconds. I can't maintain that on the steep uphills, but I am getting better at it.
Growth mindset. New term but I do understand what that means. We bought a house. That was the time I bloomed. Trying to fix everything and having all the hiccups and successes and trying to always improve. I always said, ANTI-DIY looking remodels. Then learning all the trades needed to make a house. Framing, HVAC, Plumbing, style(my wife's wheel house), refurbishing the old items, make the light fixtures safe to keep using. Re-wired the whole house. It took a few years of this to say. I'm going to learn everything possible. Cram the brain full of things. We have officialy lost people because they say I'm a know it all. Toning that down and not talking is a big problem for me. But now that I know that's a huge turn off. Turn it down. If someone is asking questions then let'r rip. This breathing thing will be my next talking point in a few weeks. I bet I'll see improvements in life. I know how long you hold your breath is a sign of health. Like it or not. I was pre-diabetic a few months ago. Could only hold for 20-25 seconds after some hyperventilating. Or tricks to hold longer. Nothing could get me to hold longer that day. OMAD high saturated fat. a few weeks later. 45 seconds. a few more weeks later, could run again and sprint. Now 60 seconds is easy. different times or day can go 100 seconds after a few warm ups. Lost 30 pounds and 3 pant sizes. That is definitely related to lung capacity, that your fat guts aren't taking up as much space. Thanks for the research on this topic. Tom you are a great mind/growth guy that dabbles in all the things. I'm hooked
@@MarceloTRIBORI was a bit confused thanks but i do wonder if theres a benefit to hold. many people do reccomend holding the breath in between for calming down , i heard the army does box breathing 4 seconds inhale, 4 hold, 4 out exhale Also he was taking about the fit women in the water who hold their breath. Basically he was saying the goal to have less total breathing seconds overall total so holding may help
I just finished the book last week. I found most of the techniques I've tried to be easier than I thought to turn into habits. I don't have serious apnea or other issues, but I do have a deviated septum, so find nasal breathing while running to be challenging. I was able to do it on a run last week already!
I also have a deviated septum... I am in the middle of the book now. Do you think there is a way to fix it or improve it via those techniques, or surgery is the only way?
One of my favorite videos yet. Going to breathe through the nose. This is a new world to me. Everything that I've learned, so far, there's just more to learn. It's a beautiful thing to see that breathing culturally has been overlooked. Beautiful may not be the right word, more of yes, overlooked I mean. This is the miracle cure? I am going to start seeing myself evolve as a 19 year with this new super power knowledge! My goodness! NASAL BREATHING WOAH
The breathing to heat up the body is known as Kapaalbhaati Pranayam in Yogic shaastr. It is not just a physical act, but basically a pattern of breathing, combined with being fully conscious of the breath, known as Dhyaan. This makes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system work together in a concious manner. Adenosine triphosphate could be a by-product of this process, though, there are numerous other physical and mental benefits of this Pranayam.
I've realized recently that ever since I got out of an abusive relationship that I'm often holding my breath for no reason. I wasn't breathing in a normal rhythm, constantly just inches away from being in flight or fight mode. Going to pay more attention to my breath now.
I am 80 years old and had most of the things you mentioned. But after a few days I noticed my incontinence disappeared and frequent trips to the restroom were cut in half. Are you doing research on this, it is working great for me along with all the other things that disappeared almost instantly.
Wow this was a phenomenal epidsode with James Nestor. MrJamesNestor has definitely shown his expertise in breathing. Way to go Tom another powerful punch of education! The breath is the remote control to the brain. Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches us in his 7 aDvanced to focus on the breath and we do a specific breath depending on the meditation. It's how we get into heart and brain coherence which is key to the formula.
Thank you for having the balls to buck the current of the present narrow minded system we live in. More folks need to speak out about alternative living practices. Bring it on!!
Mr. Bilyou, Mr. Nestor, thank you both so much for all of this! This is incredible and I can feel myself relaxed so much after practicing all these. Thank you again so so much!!!
The nostril switch is apparent when you have a head cold. I always wondered why one side would be more stuffed up, then suddenly that side clears and the other opens. This might be my answer. cool!
Guru Nanak, the founder of sikhism, spent 3 days under water in meditative state which is when he attained enlightenment. Similar story like Gautam Buddha who attained enlightenment in Ghaya under river water.
Thank you Tom for bringing different ideas and experts to your channel. It makes a difference! I work in dentistry and I can tell you, he is correct, breathing incorrectly is the main reasons why people have crocked teeth, keep in mind that when you can't breath correctly thru your nose, you breath thru your mouth, mouth breathing can turn a pretty person into a very ugly one because it disfigures the face. Google it you will see.
Thank you so much, I started sleeping with a tape on my mounth and doing tthe breathing and I feel so good and healthy., thank you for taking your time to teach us.

Tom, I assure you the other thing that I do not know if James touches on in his book is this: the mechanics of breastfeeding vs bottle feeding is completely different and how this effects how bones in the face grows. This is another area that could be explored. And I appreciate James statement, "listen to your body" Thank you for taking time to interview him.
Breathing right is the most easiest and simplest hack for having the best health, we can ever experience. Yoga and Meditation,s one of the foundational element is the way we breathe.
I've always breathed through my nose (except when I workout with a heavy weight). I'm 65 fairly fit and just discovered I can hold my breath for a 90 seconds before discomfort. I have a deviated septum and am right nostril dominant, but do not snore. Very interesting about left brain, right brain effects.
The biggest missing key to slowing the metabolism AND generating more heat simultaneously is trance (bringing the subconscious forward and relaxing the conscious mind) and visualizing certain things such as blue blood or a blue energy circulating through your body and as you dhummo breathe, you begin visualizing it turning more and more red and getting hotter and hotter. I actually have a very old book detailing this exact process. It’s called Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines by W.Y. Evans-Wentz. Published first by Oxford University in 1935. It’s actually a very elaborate visualization process i never felt the need to memorize to be able to take into trance - it was very in depth and elaborate and since i don’t live in a cave or even extreme cold, it wasn’t that important to learn. I got it years ago - running into its mention in learning about trance/the spirit (the subconscious) and how to program it as well as change its programming (which i assure you not one in 1,000 know anything about HOW they actually programmed it because we do it every day throughout the day, each time we daydream [that’s a certain level of trance] and even have strong emotions OR even with you concentrate to do something like stick a key in a door lock and find yourself not breathing - you’re in trance. ) Humans have never learned anything, or programmed any behavior or habit they didn’t learn or program while in trance. The ancient Egyptians were THE masters of mind - as far as our known about history and ancestors go. More so than others we know of and the ancient Asians were close but their medical is better or survived more intact. Ancient Egyptians were half Asian- they were Blasian. I don’t care if anyone likes that less than Napoleon who shot the Sphinx’s African nose off. I am white, by the way, for those who argue the blacks are/were primitive. Many black cultures know mind better than westerners ever will. Asians too.
Most underrated video. Whoever fought for this dude to come on should get a bonus Tom.

ua-cam.com/video/TqKDY_2FhWU/v-deo.html
I would love to speak with you about this as I struggle with anxiety and asthma
@@agrimmsounds Of course my friend. What worked best for me was to learn to slow down my breathing consciously and use the full capacity of the respiratory system, it's grossly divided into three parts, first, expand the belly, then the ribs & diaphragm, and then the chest. We as asthma patients are used to breathing shallowly and through the mouth, but the optimal resting breathing pattern is deep, slow, and through the nose.
Honestly, the best advice I can give you is to invest just a little bit of money in 1. Understanding the breath a bit deeper (book Oxygen Advantage is a great shout for just 12 bucks) and then 2. Find a way of practicing proper breathing. I've found a great course teaching Pranayama (Yogic breathing practice that will improve your resting breathing pattern) for just 10 bucks. It's called yogalap, I am not affiliated with them I just really enjoy their Pranayama course and it helped me for sure.
Hope this helps and let me know!
@@DutchBuddhist thanks so much! I’ve already been forcing myself to breathe through my nose and keep my mouth closed and I’m already noticing benefits within days. I’m working out again and I have more energy everyday. I’m still starting out with all this but I know it’s going to improve my health dramatically. I’ve been pumped with steroids since I developed asthma at 20 and not one doctor ever talked about mouth vs nose breathing. Not one.
@@DutchBuddhist Oxygen Advantage is a good channel, especially when he explains the importance of carbon dioxide during breath and the simple exercises to open blocked noses....
James Nestor is so intriguing and you, Tom Bilyeu, dude! You have a talent for asking the most brilliant questions ever! Thank you for this incredible video.Now breathe. Much Love.🙏🏾

Lifelong severe asthmatic. Couldn't do breathing exercises because I felt like I was suffocating. I have extreme resistance to natural cures having gone down that route excessively. When I heard Patrick McKeown say 'breathe less' I was entranced.
Breathe less? I've always wanted to rest between breaths, it's always been discouraged.
I shut my mouth, breathed less, taped it shut at night and started doing abbreviated Wim Hof (using nasal breathing not mouth breathing) and following recommendations on Patrick's channel Oxygen Advantage.
I could not and would not make this up. I went from around 9 medications a day to 1/4 dose of my corticosteroid and the occasional OTC allergy pill for convenience where I don't have time to properly do breath holds.
It's now been 4 weeks. It changed immediately, on Day 1.
Yes, I still have asthma, I use breath holding to manage it. Did a video, will do a follow up sometime. It's life-changing. I would not have believed it. My lung function is low - on good days I've managed to hold my breath for up to 2 minutes during Wim Hof. I don't push it, it's not every day but I couldn't hold my breath for 15 seconds before.
You cannot imagine how effective it is.
Wow, that's an awesome amount of improvement and I'm so happy for you!
I was stunned too when I first stumbled upon this knowledge. Why do they tell you in school that CO2 is just a "waste product" and not that it's a very potent
and natural bronchodilator www.normalbreathing.com/co2-natural-bronchodilators/
or a very strong nerve/brain tranquilizer? www.normalbreathing.com/co2-stabilizer/
No wonder I had panic attacks when I was breathing 28 (!) times per minute... at rest on the couch when I had a severe burn-out...
@@trashmail8 I know.! I veer between wondering why I couldn't work it out somehow and why no-one ever told me this.
So glad it helped you too. It makes perfect sense biologically. It's hard to believe it took so long for it to come out.
Breathing yourself to death is not something I ever considered. Appreciate those links!
@@cesaraspeaks same.
I had a severe burn-out with the final push over the edge being the Mexican flu. My Buteyko Control Pause was 6 seconds. I had constant anxiety and daily panic attacks, 4 migraine attacks per week, cold hands and feet, heart palpitations and a pounding hear beat. Resting pulse of around 90 BPM, I was so tired that I couldn't sometimes turn my pillow around after waking up, my body as frequently tingling all over, I was frequently feeling cold like in my bones, I had frequently extreme sweating attacks... I was stuttering and frequently spoke slowly like I was drunk. My long term memory was not really accessible and I could forget what I was doing in seconds because short term memory forming was truly toast. And frequently I felt like a fish out of the water: not getting enough air. I was really in a horrible condition. Saw quite a few specialist besides my GP ( who only wanted to push some anti anxiety drugs).. blood values were inspected multiple times, had my heart monitored for two days... Objectively somehow everything was with normal values or pretty close. They simply couldn't find anything..."must be in your head".
Life changed when I stumbled on a small book about the Buteyko method. Wait.. I'm suddenly breathing almost 30 times per minute at rest.. how has no specialist raised any questions there?!?!
Started training, first days were horrible. Even a migraine attack doesn't come close to the type of headache you can get when raising your control pause times ... It was on par with the heavy food poisoning one I once had... It was such a rough climb upwards.... And once you get out of that valley you basically can't even imagine that you can feel so bad as a human.. that breathing alone makes such a huge huge difference in how life is experienced.
It's not my full time mission, but since then I'm trying to point everyone to this knowledge. It can make or break lives
@@trashmail8 It's like reading the story of my life. We have to get word out.
I know, waking up was like coming round from anesthesia, the mental fog is not something anyone who hasn't experienced it can understand. They think you are 'lazy'.
There must be tens of millions who can benefit from this bankrupting themselves on meds which break down your immune system.
It has to stop. Thank you for your response! I hope someone else reads it and benefits.
@@cesaraspeaks - I read both your comments and that describes my 16 year old. I am going to look everything up. Thank you for the links too.
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
What does that mean
I know flying is possible if we eat light I'm talking about living off of sunlight no dense food eat sun and breath correctly while also connecting with the the earth electromagnetic field while connecteing with the sun human flight is possible I tried this method while sungazeing while being barefoot on earth I heard a ringing in my ear and then I felt lighter I did not fly but felt like I could lol what's holding me back is my diet I have to live off of purely sunlight and universal energy prana in the air
@@Bigdogiswolfing It's a metaphor paralleling this video, in that people refuse to believe abnormal things like monks using breathing to melt snow/avoid hypothermia. The conscious mind of a human has great difficulty believing that flight is possible (or that breathing techniques allow for intentional control of the entire human organism) because in some sense we are all pragmatists, and we can't pragmatically visualize how we could fly until we actually do it or see it done right in front of us.
i just started shutting my mouth during 30 minutes of evening walk and also consciously throughout the day...What a miraculous change? i have lots of energy in me..i am 57..had heart attack four years ago...have a stent placed in my heart...but by the grace of God doing good..This video was life changing for me. I have ordered the tape strips also..going to try that from october....
Tom is the only interviewer I know who let his guests to talk...no interruption. I love his shows !

Tom Bilyeu, you're a pioneer for a better future. Thank you.
Useful nose-breathing training tip: while showering, take/hold some (a comfortable amount) water in your mouth.
You'll very naturally avoid any breathing through your mouth from that moment on. If it becomes to difficult to continue with the nose breathing, simply spit the water out again. You're in the shower anyway. Tips/moments like these can easily help you gain extra training moments while you keep doing what you were doing. :)
I like that! Little daily tricks that people don’t notice make a huge difference 🙌🏽 Thank you for commenting this.
@@RyanFila you can also chew on something, but that's frequently sweet and not good for your teeth. Another option, e.g.walking in the street, is to place your tongue against the hard palate just above your upper teeth. Basically you'll have the underside of your tongue resting against your teeth. It might feel a bit odd at first, but it's relatively easy to get some kind of suction effect so that your tongue automatically sticks into a place there. This will help prevent your mouth from falling slightly open without you noticing. Mouth breathing is basically not possible without breaking this slight suction effect: www.healthline.com/health/tongue-posture
@@trashmail8 Wow! Thank you! That's really interesting and I've never thought about how to breath more out of my nose. Like ways I can make my mind subconsciously do it. Thanks for the tips!
Nasal breathing for the win. Great comment 🙏
Taping your mouth is also a great trick to use
I read "Breath" and I talked about that book for weeks to all my friends. It changed my life in a very positive way.
Then I read "Deep" too, not so much useful information for me but a very interesting and entertaining book.
Thank you, James Nestor!
Take from the Ocean , what you need , mother nature in harmony with human , also all living beings . Being a Buddhist , Eastern culture , 4 decades in medical field , I have listened to this program ,with full attention . At the end , well worth our time , and like to say , thank you both very much . METTA . ( may you all be well , wealthy and PEACEFUL )
The one who is reading this,
You are PHENOMENAL my friend.

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY.
You're awesome! Have a great day too! :)
I have read his book 6 months ago. Since then I type my mouth before I sleep and be super conscious breathing from nose. highly recommend his book to everybody.
I feel pranayam is science of breathing with every technique that serves a purpose, I would suggest people to look at some scientific literature on study of Pranayama, most of the modern techniques are derived from those ancient techniques. It’s not just breathing , it’s breathing with awareness
I would recommend Anulom Vilom, a very practical technique for mind body balance between your left and right side. 20 minutes can give you great results
Just finished his book and I've been taping my mouth shut at night.
I feel trapped when I do that and takes hours to fall asleep so I take it off 😒 I feel I can breathe through nose in day somehow but at night it’s impossible tbh
What is the name of the book?
It took me weeks to get used to mouth taping but my energy went thru the roof.
How have you found taping your mouth?
ua-cam.com/video/TqKDY_2FhWU/v-deo.html
now is a perfect time to reconnect with our breath and we must share the knowledge of breath to as many people as we can!
Yup, this book IS a game changer. James Nestor’s research, discernment, sheer brilliance comes through at the right time. Here’s the biggie: My 18 year old son with special needs has been scripting and stimming since he was 2 years old...Literally, the first night of wearing a tiny piece of surgical tape, the size of a postage stamp, there was No stimming, No scripting the next day. He continues to wear it every night with the same results. I wear the tape as well - feel better, more mindful of my daily breath and most definitely more calm. Those with kids on the “spectrum” will know what I’m writing about. Yes, this is just the beginning...
I became mindful of my tongue posture and breathing over a year ago. In as short as 3 months of correct posture, my snoring started to lessen. My jaw started to come forward. My tongue started to fit between my teeth. My roof of my mouth descended slightly. My bottom teeth straightened out and got shorter. My gums started to look healthier. A while myriad of changes. Just from keeping my tongue in a better position and breathing better. Thank you for sharing this with the world! Impact Theory is definitely changing lives and bringing these simple changes to the mainstream faster and, most importantly it is entertaining to watch!
That is so cool. Mouth posture can make such a big difference 🙏
bollocks. How in the world would you be able to measure something like the roof of your mouth descending slightly lol
@@flyingosom202 Guess you won't know until you try it.
@@Bird2920 lol, there's plenty of things you can know without trying them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Listened to this 2 days ago. Then did further research, because mouth taping sounded so scary. When I discovered that the mouth taping was about just using a very small piece of tape over the middle of the mouth, to just train the jaw to not slack open during sleep, and was not what some UA-cam vids showed in suggesting taping the mouth shut completely, I decided to try it. Did the small square tape over middle of my mouth for an hour or so before bedtime and sleep, just to test how I feel. Yes it was odd but for some reason I felt it important to explore this test. In that time before sleep, I discovered that this small piece of tape did not stop me from being able to cough, and I also felt this small piece of tape would not stop me from blowing it off, if for some reason I would suddenly not be able to breathe at all through my nose. I then fell asleep with this small piece of tape over my mouth. For the first time in over a decade, I had 2 separate 3 hrs of deep sleep. Woke at 6 am and felt wide awake. I will always be a healthy sceptic, and questions are always welcomed. Discussion not accusations are needed❤️. I am only on day 2 of trying this experiment of light taping of my mouth during sleep, and I just want to share that for years I needed a water bottle next to me throughout the night to alleviate dry mouth, and in one night with mouth closed, didn’t need it. My own saliva production was working. What a beautiful time we are in, where there can be this information shared, and explored safely, We all have the capability to do this! Trust your gut when u hear something that resonates with u regarding health issues. We truly are all in this together, so let’s not argue. Let’s continue to share info. Xoxo
As Joe Dispensa says...we live in the Age of information
In Indonesian Silat training, we us a count of seven for linear, triangle or square breathing. A count is not a second. It is a count. It tends to slow down the more you practice. The key to all shaped breathing is even time for each part of the breath.
Love fromI India.just ordered this book.I am suffering in depression. Doing meditation.But it is revolulantary for me. Thank u very much.
I have been taping my mouth shut for 5 months at night I have asthma and have used steroid inhalers
In the 5 months taping my mouth shut I used my inhaler once and I was using the inhaler daily
when I learned what steroids can do to my bones as I age I went on a quest to get off the inhalers and I have
I am in Texas and it is ragweed time if I make it through this season with no inhaler I have arrived 🥰
Praise God for taping my mouth shut
Thank you for this video. It’s taken me 65 years to learn how to breathe properly. I just ordered your book.
Best wishes.
Seriously, I was just listening to "Breath" on audible and was wondering if you ever did an interview. Of course, you did! I also thought it was too far from what I was comfortable with when I read it in some other book. There was a section about breathing. However, this book (Breath) is an eye opening book. I am not done with it yet but I know I am I am going to buy a hard copy. Thanks, Tom again! Your interview skill is out of this world!!!
Tom, will you ever have James Clear come on and talk about "Atomic Habits"? I feel like this is a must interview.
I think they usually arrange those interviews when a book comes out or something, as part of the promo. And it seems James is doing just fine with his the sales numbers 🙂
I can’t believe I missed this for one year! And to think this research has been around for sooo long! Thank you for bringing it to light and making by it easy to understand. I hope you find so much more to share with the world!
Amazing! I have not even finished half of this video yet and I'm already blown away by all of this info
Forget "knowing" it. Do it and experience it. I had a therapist who gave me a recording to follow to practice diaphramatic breathing. I did it a bit but never had the disciplined to make it a daily habit. However, I've had 3 actual panic attacks in my life (i.e. stress inducing thoughts leading to hyperventaliation/freakout) and 2 of them I stopped dead in their tracks just by doing diaphramatic breathing for 1 or 2 minutes (i.e. the panic attack subsided in 2 minutes or less of intentionally breathing correctly to effect the nervous system). Breathing really is the way to complete balance & self control, as Nestor explains that with practice one can learn to dictate the sympathetic & parasympathetic nervous systems at will, which control literally everything within the physical organism you are. Don't doubt it, try it for real; not just for a minute or 2, but sit comfortably or lie down and inhale through your nose for at least 4 seconds feeling your belly (diaphram) rise, then exhale for at least 4 seconds or as long as comfortably possible. Do this for 20 - 40 minutes and your body will be super calm (and your brain/mind in turn). If you get mental anxiety breathing is THE WAY to learn to calm down both body & mind. It's also great to avoid road rage while in traffic!
Why can I not meet men like this man? A brain, eyes like mine, same age group, proactive, intelligent. I meet men who wear masks for a fake virus. I think we were taught in RN school heart rate 60-100, and breaths 16 - 20 per minute. WOW

I followed a Wim Hof breathing exercise daily for a about a week.
No Allergies this year. No sneezing, no running nose, no stuffed up nose.
Hey! I started doing WHM for the same reason and I was wondering you breathed through your nose or mouth for the exercises?
@@theabsynthfairy inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth.
@@SimmerCK Thank you!
With the raising of our consciousness/frequency, that has a huge wave of humanity doing. Meditation and connecting to light we can bring into ourselves, this is huge. Sure sounds like all is connected. This can possibly go down other paths. Absolutely ground breaking. Thank You
Breathing is such a basic skill that is vastly underestimated. There is a reason why we use breathing exercises to calm us down and to meditate. The mind seems to be influenced by the way we breathe, resulting in either stress or calmness!
And it’s the only thing that we have with us from birth to death!
I don't know who Needs to Hear This but " Greatness is often built when no one is watching ". So don't give up and keep going

Thank you so much Tom for having this man on. I love learning about how to improve my health and I think you guys are on to something here. I've started breathing through my nose and out through my mouth. Thanks again Tom for the great videos.
In and out through the nose! Get James’s book.
I haven't been able to breathe freely through my nose since I can remember. Ever. Breatheright Strips change my life, sleep, exercise. That's proof enough for me.
Me too, I forced myself to breathe only through nose for several months. It was really difficult at first, my nose would run and be hard to breathe. After several months I am now able to breathe exclusively through my nose.
I can't sleep without them now. Even using nose dialtors weren't enough. Game changer......thx!
Wow the key to life and diseases! Been doing yoga and meditation but didnt know it goes this deep ❤
I bought James Nestor's book Breath. I'm half way through and loving it! It's a life changer!!
I ❤ the Wim Hoff shout out.
Me too. Yet I found it interesting how Wim Hof says doesn’t matter if you breathe nose or mouth which Is technically true but like this guy kinda says that the nose dries out. So if u breathe out from nose ur also exhausting out toxins. But Wim Hof method is to hyperventilate so if ur nose can take it then do it how Wim Hof says. My nose drys out when doing WHM ...still tuning the technique
@@powerpaul1423 the concept of wim hof is just to breathe in order to do the exercises at least. Doing the breathing with mouth is not an issue, as long as it's only during the event but in everyday life using the nose.

This podcast episode and the book Find Your Voice has the best advice on breathing. Nicely done!
This makes sense to me and has some connection with the work of John Mew.
"..The second you wanna reject something, hit the pause button.." Tom Bilyeu✨💕
Should have gone with the Other Title “The way you’re breathing now is fucking up your life” this video is underrated after 3 years ❤
Totally agree that we should be focused on these things in regard to protecting ourselves from illness
Tom with this interview with James Nestor you just open another door to an infinite world for us to discover ♥️ very very interesting, I will surely get James Nestor book. What a great person, a curious, knowledgeable and motivating person 🙌
Thanks Tom I appreciate this. I have suspected that my mouth breathing, sleeping with my mouth open and slobbering is the reason for my teeth sensitivity and weakened enamel.
Is it right that breathing through mouth can cause teeth sensitivety ?
@@LifeStyle-zs7xr I'm still not sure of my causes. I also had braces and tooth whitening so I can't pinpoint the source.
Late bloomer at 26....bwahahaha try 36 when I found my own growth perspective. However it's never to late to change and grow!
Book changed my life.
James Nestor was totally right about breathing out of the nose. Today Instead of doing the Win Hof method my normal way of breathing in through my mouth to take in more oxygen and out my nose I only took breaths through the nose.
The results a more relaxed body, more clarity. Usually I will get the tingling feeling Wim mentions but I think each form of breathing can serve a different purpose perhaps?
It would be great to hear others in the group and their thoughts and experience with this.
My explanation for why nose-breathing is better than mouth breathing: 1) The nose opening is smaller than the mouth opening. Therefore, it takes longer to complete a breath cycle through the nose. Thus, the blood's CO2 concentration goes up, making breathing more effective. 2) Breathing through the nose has more resistance to airflow than breathing through the mouth. The body responds with more effort, deeper breathing, and better technique. 3) In this case, 1 + 2 > 3.
I've been practicing slow nose-breathing with for a few weeks, so I'm not great at it yet. However, I see improvement in my mountain biking habit. I ride steep, rough trails. I can go faster and further comfortably. More importantly, my recovery happens faster. Before, I had to take at least two or three rest days between rides. Now I can go every other day. That is huge for this 63-year-old. I've been using a three part breath - in for five seconds, out for five seconds, pause with empty lungs for five seconds. I can't maintain that on the steep uphills, but I am getting better at it.
Growth mindset. New term but I do understand what that means. We bought a house. That was the time I bloomed. Trying to fix everything and having all the hiccups and successes and trying to always improve. I always said, ANTI-DIY looking remodels. Then learning all the trades needed to make a house. Framing, HVAC, Plumbing, style(my wife's wheel house), refurbishing the old items, make the light fixtures safe to keep using. Re-wired the whole house.
It took a few years of this to say. I'm going to learn everything possible. Cram the brain full of things. We have officialy lost people because they say I'm a know it all. Toning that down and not talking is a big problem for me. But now that I know that's a huge turn off. Turn it down. If someone is asking questions then let'r rip. This breathing thing will be my next talking point in a few weeks. I bet I'll see improvements in life. I know how long you hold your breath is a sign of health. Like it or not. I was pre-diabetic a few months ago. Could only hold for 20-25 seconds after some hyperventilating. Or tricks to hold longer. Nothing could get me to hold longer that day. OMAD high saturated fat. a few weeks later. 45 seconds. a few more weeks later, could run again and sprint. Now 60 seconds is easy. different times or day can go 100 seconds after a few warm ups. Lost 30 pounds and 3 pant sizes. That is definitely related to lung capacity, that your fat guts aren't taking up as much space.
Thanks for the research on this topic. Tom you are a great mind/growth guy that dabbles in all the things. I'm hooked
4-6 is range of seconds for each:
inhale
Exhale
Hold
he dont said for hold breathe sir.! 5.5 in 5.5 out = 5.5 in a minute
@@MarceloTRIBORI was a bit confused thanks
but i do wonder if theres a benefit to hold. many people do reccomend holding the breath in between for calming down , i heard the army does box breathing 4 seconds inhale, 4 hold, 4 out exhale
Also he was taking about the fit women in the water who hold their breath.
Basically he was saying the goal to have less total breathing seconds overall total so holding may help

I just finished the book last week. I found most of the techniques I've tried to be easier than I thought to turn into habits. I don't have serious apnea or other issues, but I do have a deviated septum, so find nasal breathing while running to be challenging. I was able to do it on a run last week already!

Tom, can't thank you enough ❤️
One of my favorite videos yet. Going to breathe through the nose. This is a new world to me. Everything that I've learned, so far, there's just more to learn. It's a beautiful thing to see that breathing culturally has been overlooked. Beautiful may not be the right word, more of yes, overlooked I mean. This is the miracle cure? I am going to start seeing myself evolve as a 19 year with this new super power knowledge! My goodness! NASAL BREATHING WOAH
The breathing to heat up the body is known as Kapaalbhaati Pranayam in Yogic shaastr. It is not just a physical act, but basically a pattern of breathing, combined with being fully conscious of the breath, known as Dhyaan. This makes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system work together in a concious manner. Adenosine triphosphate could be a by-product of this process, though, there are numerous other physical and mental benefits of this Pranayam.
I've realized recently that ever since I got out of an abusive relationship that I'm often holding my breath for no reason. I wasn't breathing in a normal rhythm, constantly just inches away from being in flight or fight mode.
Going to pay more attention to my breath now.
Fascinating. Its incredible how much stuff like this we are learning about that most people dont know about at all.
Saunas, vitamin d, insulin and insulin resistance, breathing, microbiomes, diet(saturated fat and salt in particular), and much more.
I am 80 years old and had most of the things you mentioned. But after a few days I noticed my incontinence disappeared and frequent trips to the restroom were cut in half.
Are you doing research on this, it is working great for me along with all the other things that disappeared almost instantly.
After a few days doing what, may I ask?
I love his book...I pratice SKY (Sudarshana Kriya) Breathing for a while. It improved my life a lot
The importance of breath - this topic is very timely
Absolutely fascinating Tom! Credit to your team for encouraging you to check James Nestor out - and a really fascinating talk. thank you!
What is the name of the book
Wow this was a phenomenal epidsode with James Nestor. MrJamesNestor has definitely shown his expertise in breathing. Way to go Tom another powerful punch of education! The breath is the remote control to the brain. Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches us in his 7 aDvanced to focus on the breath and we do a specific breath depending on the meditation. It's how we get into heart and brain coherence which is key to the formula.
Bought the book! Thank You Tom Bilyeu!!! :D
Half way through and my mind is blown!
Thank you for having the balls to buck the current of the present narrow minded system we live in. More folks need to speak out about alternative living practices. Bring it on!!
Mr. Bilyou, Mr. Nestor, thank you both so much for all of this! This is incredible and I can feel myself relaxed so much after practicing all these. Thank you again so so much!!!
Im sure everyone that read the title, just took a deep breath... Ha ha.

Thank you Tom for bringing different ideas and experts to your channel. It makes a difference!
I work in dentistry and I can tell you, he is correct, breathing incorrectly is the main reasons why people have crocked teeth, keep in mind that when you can't breath correctly thru your nose, you breath thru your mouth, mouth breathing can turn a pretty person into a very ugly one because it disfigures the face. Google it you will see.

Tom, I assure you the other thing that I do not know if James touches on in his book is this: the mechanics of breastfeeding vs bottle feeding is completely different and how this effects how bones in the face grows. This is another area that could be explored. And I appreciate James statement, "listen to your body" Thank you for taking time to interview him.
Breathing right is the most easiest and simplest hack for having the best health, we can ever experience. Yoga and Meditation,s one of the foundational element is the way we breathe.
Thanks for improving our health literacy, #fairsociety#healthysociety!
This is the most fascinating topic I have never heard of! I cannot buy this book fast enough.
Oxygen advantage is also great
I've always breathed through my nose (except when I workout with a heavy weight). I'm 65 fairly fit and just discovered I can hold my breath for a 90 seconds before discomfort. I have a deviated septum and am right nostril dominant, but do not snore. Very interesting about left brain, right brain effects.
The biggest missing key to slowing the metabolism AND generating more heat simultaneously is trance (bringing the subconscious forward and relaxing the conscious mind) and visualizing certain things such as blue blood or a blue energy circulating through your body and as you dhummo breathe, you begin visualizing it turning more and more red and getting hotter and hotter. I actually have a very old book detailing this exact process. It’s called Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines by W.Y. Evans-Wentz. Published first by Oxford University in 1935.
It’s actually a very elaborate visualization process i never felt the need to memorize to be able to take into trance - it was very in depth and elaborate and since i don’t live in a cave or even extreme cold, it wasn’t that important to learn. I got it years ago - running into its mention in learning about trance/the spirit (the subconscious) and how to program it as well as change its programming (which i assure you not one in 1,000 know anything about HOW they actually programmed it because we do it every day throughout the day, each time we daydream [that’s a certain level of trance] and even have strong emotions OR even with you concentrate to do something like stick a key in a door lock and find yourself not breathing - you’re in trance. ) Humans have never learned anything, or programmed any behavior or habit they didn’t learn or program while in trance. The ancient Egyptians were THE masters of mind - as far as our known about history and ancestors go. More so than others we know of and the ancient Asians were close but their medical is better or survived more intact. Ancient Egyptians were half Asian- they were Blasian. I don’t care if anyone likes that less than Napoleon who shot the Sphinx’s African nose off. I am white, by the way, for those who argue the blacks are/were primitive. Many black cultures know mind better than westerners ever will. Asians too.
