Breathing will always be first in what is needed to live .. Moßt of us don't know how to breathe . At 74 I am still trying to do it right . Tbank you for your much needed help at this critical time .
I would love to go back to that time when I started breathing with the diaphragm. That moment in time literally was life changing. Its added years to my life and saved me from depression, anxiety and generally bad health.i tried to breathe with my chest the other day and I just couldn't do it. Also I bless the day I found Wim Hof.That was one beautiful day.I do it every morning without fail and that too has helped me so much.Also my never mouth breathe its always nasal.Any other way just feels so unnatural. What a beautiful life!Bless all.
When I was 9 my orthodontist told me my tongue belongs on the roof of my mouth. And I’ve been keeping it there ever since. You can’t be a mouth breather with your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
The quality of our lives really does seem to in the breath. I remember how bad my breathing was, I didn't even know what my own diaphragm was suppose to feel like when you inhale, I failed to truly see just how much of an impact I could made in my life, just how close I was to something great, the opportunity was quiet literally in my hands. I didn't stick with it long enough, and as a result I was set back a good few years, because there is absolutely nothing in life that wont improve, your ability to regulate your emotions, regulate your metabolism, regulate your muscle gains, your body recovery, the sleep quality, your ability to reduce stress and anxiety, and make more responsive and better decisions naturally. It all lies in the health and strength of your lungs and how well you breathe. For real, never stop looking after and strengthening your respiratory system.
Insightful. It is true, it's like learning a new way of talking. It requires focus and diligence, never giving up trying to breathe through nose (making exhales slower then inhales to be peaceful), but one day you just notice you're kind of doing it now and then w/o even trying. My goal is 100% habit by end of 2022. then i can sail a while.
I knew about Nitric oxide and now I know how to turn it on. Before breath work, blood pressue 156/92 after breathing properly, Blood pressure 121/84. Appreciate the content!
The tongue is such a busy muscle it needs a rest...its natural place of rest is lodging itself next to the upper palate... its sort of cozy there.... when it is resting there nose breathing is the only possibility so its no stress to breathe through your nose when your tongue is resting there ... Have a wonderful day.
Thanks ! The tongue really needs a good rest . I am happy to report that .there is a big improvement i with my breathing , my sleep and I use my ventolin inhaler less . Thanks for the advise from that doctor . God bless you .
I have read James Nestor's book. And watched many of his interviews. This was the most organized and thoughtful discussion of the bunch. You dove into so many of the details and fleshed out what is rushed over in so many other interviews.
I woke up to the crucial part of this podcast for me , I webg to bed with and irritation in my throat , I am being conscious of breathing through my nose and already within a few hrs I notice an ease of my throat area, I'm going to be mindful of this , great podcast

I'm a very healthy and health concious senior. I thought I was doing everything right. I've been wearing a fitbit and monitoring my sleep data for over 6 years. My sleep data has always conformed to the norms for woman my age although my deep phase sleep data was always on the low end of normal and rem sleep phase was below normal as well. I don't have sleep apnea or noticeable sleep problems. When I started mouth taping a few months ago my sleep data completely shifted almost immediately. My deep phase sleep time tripled, my REM sleep increased while my light phase sleep was reduced by over a third. I was shocked and amazed that it could make such a difference by the numbers. It's made me much more concious of how I breath while awake as well. The Wim Hoff periodic extreme breathing techniques is harnessing the benefits of "homesis". The modern longevity experts would say that hormesis is a key component of longevity.

Mind blowing! I never heard of this! So, I started nose breathing at the start, then corrected my posture half way thru this video. We haven’t even heard the techniques yet and I already feel incredible! I’m a bit dizzy, but my head, nose, and chest feel clear and healthy, the fog of little sleep has vanished. My back doesn’t hurt anymore at all, and even the tough to manage sciatica pain is gone!! Wtf?? So I’m a believer already! I’m ready to learn everything and help everyone else get it next! Woo-hoo!

I think work emails do or can directly trigger our fight or flight response. A stressful work email can trigger the deep fear of losing our job.

So many of us grow into adulthood with serious sinus congestion due to allergy issues. This forces us to learn to breath from our mouths out of necessity. You must have open sinus passages in order to nose breath and especially when sleeping. I started playing the saxophone at the age of 13 and was forced to learn fast inhalation and delayed exhalation. It changed my life in a good way and did not really realize the benefit of relearning how to breath correctly. I know doctors as far back as the 1930s that prescribed a wind instrument for congestion of lung and sinus problems. I have been teaching the importance of lower diaphragm breathing ever since I experienced the results. It is amazing how in high stress situations I can close my eyes and breath slowly and deeply to regain calm balance. Thank you for this and especially the way you present it. Next is ambient noise effects on our body and mind.
I suffer hard breathing every time after I took my meal, heart beat run fast and can’t talking for a short time, feel suffer breathing until I watch James Nestor how to breath properly video only I acknowledge I breath I breath using my mouth and I didn’t acknowledge it. After 2 weeks I train and force myself breath using nose, I start feel way better and now it’s a month, I getting way better now, I can jogging, talking freely without any pain.
We are literally moving through spaces of rhythms - and we are all cabable of becoming conscious and aware cocreators of the rhythms and vibrational colors that we send out - and breathing, movements, thoughts, feelings, nature sounds, Music, colors, are all doors into experiencing and expressing and receiving and creating all kinds of realities - the web of lives -- 🌸🌺💗
Life is a big picture and every part matters. As well as every part needs to be ignored at different parts of the day and night. Wow i didn't think that breathing and mindset was as impactful. Everyone knows what a life or death situation can feel like. Then you have one. You are changed forever. Knowing how to handle or faking a stressful situation to then handle it better the next time is helpful. Great talk
I used to teach the violin in schools and always dreaded the new starters who walked through the door with their mouths hanging open! They tended to be very remote and passive (rather than active and engaged) learners and had far slower reflexes than the nose breathers. School teachers really need to incorporate breathing training into their lessons as well as the Alexander Technique.
@@fernandotapia5827 a world condemned to make observations is a world too weak to evolve. Nowhere did they claim, mouth breathers are terrible people. If you are too weak and fragile to handle someone's observation then do yourself a favor and stay off social media! Alternatively, you could just accept that she is correct in assuming that children with their mouths open tend to be poorer learners, thus requiring much more patience and attention. It's okay to vent about frustrating situations, especially if they are preventable by educating parents and teachers. To deny this and to get emotional is unreasonable.
@@TheAweberry then stop replying your one that making a whole thesis and paragraph over it stfu. To weak yet she did nothing about it and criticized the students
Thank you so much for this reminder! Although I’m vaccinated, I’m in the last days of acquiring the bug COVID- and thank be to God, I was practicing the nose breathing recommended here, and I can assure you that that helped me to go throughout it with no greater complications… not even having to go to a clinic! I’m 77, I thank God for this reminders to be able to keep our health in check. Blessings to All with much love & gratitude. Mayu.
Awesome information again 👏 thanks for 36:30 emphasising the children who can benefit of this, also those who grew up as adults still lacking this natural tension relieving element. Thanks
Thank you for introducing me to your guest, and bringing light to such a fascinating topic. Never thought how important nasal breathing was. Definitely going to try to incorporate it into my routine.
I remember that my dad would do daily chores or yard work as a form of meditation. Rather than hustling through the chore to get it done as fast as possible, he would instead go fairly slow and be very deliberate in each part of the task, taking time to see that it was done nicely. And i remember him taking long, slow, deep breaths when doing this. Its my belief that this was a common way for people to get their work done through the ages and we have lost this great tool in our modern society.
That's a lovely story. So often our own bodie tell us the way to heal and it sounds like your father mindfully did his chores using breathwork to make it a meditative task. How wonderful, and how healing.
@@thedancingdivaofdaviestree2320 I believe it was something that he picked up from his parents. Not anything that was taught purposefully, it was just part of the culture.
My thoughts about this Rangan is we're designed to live peaceful calm lives in paradise taking care of the earth and animals. Our bodies are not designed for this modern lifestyle, but we are so wonderfully made that our body is still trying it's very best to keep us alive and healthy. It's just overwhelmed by the constant stress. I always enjoy your podcast. This one is excellent.
I love your "more social, less media" so true. our world has lost touch with social interactions and social relations. We've been busted out of opinions and what's allowed. How about who cares and just have fun. Don't dog when you're a dog. Get up and go. Say hi, how about that.
Very interesting podcast. I think it seems obvious that 2020 is the year breathing seems so important is because there of pandemic, one which affects people’s ability to breathe, it is our lifeline.
I have been a mouth breather for many years and many of these years I wore a mouth guard because I would grind my teeth when I was sleeping. It can help you keep your mouth shut and breathe through your nose while you are sleeping. You can get a mouth guard from any drug store and fit it yourself. I hope it helps people at night.
Your talk sounds great. How about showing + demonstrating what are talking about breathing. Some will call it show + tell. I hear what u say. Unable to picture it in my mind. Please include inhale along with the exhale.
I like the long podcasts. I break them up and listen to them on the way to work. Also consider doing a video of the 3 minute breathing exercise you were talking about half way through the video? I would appreciate it. I also feel way better breathing out and in. I tried some exercises and felt a huge difference especially waking up this morning so thank you!
@@v1ktorr124 I learned a new set of different exercises. I went through a Breathing Certificate Teaching program by Belisa Vranich. So I learned how to work out the breathing muscles. It has made a huge difference for me to be able to breathe diaphragmatically and have strong breathing muscles. I am also a bagpiper and it has made bagpiping so much more efficient and easier than before (=
ua-cam.com/video/B55pC9In8mU/v-deo.html Try this guys channel lots of great tips that helped me as I also couldn't breathe through my nose a few years back now I'm able to
I’m on my 2nd reading of the book, I have an illness with diaphragm weakness compounded by Long Haul so I always feel like “progress”, while it has occurred, is freakishly slow. I can only tell by nap times and things I can do more smoothly from a year ago. But I’m working on my breathing again…. It always stumps me why so many CPAP systems I’ve seen force mouth breathing! It’s also not good for mouths or teeth, it’ll be interesting to see how the sleep specialists adapt.
Diagphramatic breathing is taught in Pranayam classes at Indian Consul in Johannesburg South Africa... Thanks so much for the podcasts on breathing While awareness is "King" breathing is "prince"!
Excellent Info! I bought the book-read it three times- and since then have employed various tools/ breathing practices provided at the end of the. book. Nasal breathing HAS become much easier in just a short amount of time!
Fantastic read!....have read it twice since getting it last year and will be revisiting it again when I finish my current book, so much great information.... gentle mouth taping at night to only nasal breath has transformed the quality of sleep....have you tried this one?
I jogged years ago when younger. I alwsys breathhed through my nose. My heart beat was 55. I listened to talk and music. Iafter a years practice i did my best time on 10 k. In 4o mins after first year been 60. Id no one training me ...it was my own doing. As children we were alway told to stop eating flys ..keep mouth shut.
I did track and field, soccer, and swimming competitively my whole childhood into teen years. I still run and cycle today. I discovered nasal breathing from way back then. However, I mouth breathed while sleeping. I finally discovered it and stopped it. My blood pressure and hydration level normalized.
You talked about chewing in the second part, From my own research I learned that chewing helps break the food down which helps the digestive system cope better, and that it also makes the food more alkaline before it hits your stomach! I don't remember if it was because of saliva or the break down of the food matter but I know a more alkaline is better against cancer and acidic body. So only good comes with more chewing. Also former generations were told to chew 30 times.
I have severe sclerosis. I have lost 6 inches in height. My lungs and all vital organs are comprssed. The doctors say there is nothing to do at my 80 years. The youth today have a much better future.
Lost and reinvented ...marketing and conglomerates.,,,,true A gentle informative thro experience education for us public. Two gentle gentlemen...much appriciated x n
My high school gym teacher wouldn't allow us to chew gum while we exercised and taught us to breathe through our noses. That was in the 80s. He was very smart!
As a long time professional problem solver, a correct yoga nidra position and breathing in bed has always be the only solution for me to get in sleep and avoid dreaming about all these ugly issues of the past day, it was just magic!
Your dreams come to you in the service of health and healing. If you had nightmares, that's your wisest inner advisor saying "Pay Attention! This is important." I'm glad reducing your anxiety with breathwork helped changed things - they might have been coming to say you needed to leave your work at work. I had bad dreams and recurring nightmares myself that were impacting my life badly - until I read "Conquering Bad Dreams and Nightmares" by Barry Krakow, MD, and Joseph Neidhardt, MD. Like Dr. Chatterjee and James Nestor, Krakow and Neidhardt back up their claims with hard science in the lab - as well as techniques for understanding the dream's messages. Once I told my nightmares "I'm listening" they began to transform into magical healing dreams. They referred to old trauma, current life stresses, and an addiction to sleeping pills. By learning to understand my dreams, I joined a dream group, grieved old repressed grief, and quit sleeping pills. Learning to listen to the wisdom of your dreams can be just as powerful in transforming your life as learning better breathing the way it's taught here in this excellent video. Thanks to Dr. Chatterjee for another splendid educational video to improve our health, and I'll be reading James Nestor's book.
Hello! Thanks for that amazing and wonderful video! Very appreciate! Is there any how to breath video available? So if anybody gets a 5 minutes exercise a day (or maybe 10) the world would be a better place 🫶 Are there any resources from Swami Rama of his practices? Thank you so much 🙏🏼
I am starting to realise how much I have been breathing through my mouth, I like to think I am a lot healthier than I was fasting eating only healthy foods, but then to realise if I don't breathe correctly everything else won't work, but when I really work hard there goes the mouth breathing again guess it will just take time like changing to healthy eating habits, but really trying
I watched the video on tape in your mouth at night and it's changed the way I sleep I sleep so much better I feel better my mouth is not dry. And I do do the breathing too.
Would be awesome as if we didn't have to work everyday and we had a list of every show from what I've learned in this show and we can wake up in the morning and do the 260 things on the list every day we would probably have a lot of peace be very happy and healthy. So unfortunately because we have to work we're going to have to create longer days so do that we're going to have to speak to the almighty and ask him to pause time or extend time so we have time to do all of these awesome things!
Practice becomes habit… habits form the final outcomes of our lives. So if you have to find the time… is it worth it? Your choice. Pick one or two.. master them.. then move onto 2 more of the remaining 264
I'm on the fence about stress about an email and stress about a tiger. As we evolved our goals evolved. It's not eat sleep and procreate, it's accomplish something far more complex, and getting adrenaline about an email might be the way to go sometime s.
I'm 66 and have had hyperventilating since I had a breakdown at 19-21. I developed fibromyalgia and was on opiates for 16 years. Changing to a very healthy low carb but not rubbish crap KETO artificial food. I'm a healthy 66 year old but still stressy. Im trying nose breathing to alleviate my snoring
thanks for this great interview. i tried you breathing technique 3 4 5 and it is really effectively. my hrv went up a lot. is this technique meant to practice just short time or can you do it like 20 mintues?
Yes ♥ 24 mins in... absolutely correct... postures were developed to enhance breathwork♥ i most often teach breath work and go into simple stretches to rest for while♥
What about adults who are diagnosed with ADHD .. at 47 yrs old!! I hate labels but knowing I’m not a freak but a brain 🧠 that’s doing something different.. Many of us out here undiagnosed and living a life of disturbances left right Center.. wondering why .. Scattered brain is a thing.. breathing is key
yah ive always wondered how to get into meditation as an adhder...for me i want to get out of my head not into my head more. Yoga over meditation for me for sure. Finding breathing meditation almost impossible and so boring
I slowed my kids breathing, sleeping next to them and had them deep breath slowly in slowly out. They were both sleeping in less than 20 seconds. LOL If i only knew this 7 years ago. The amount of sleep we all would have gained in no time flat. Breath holds are next. they can go 10 to 15 seconds only. Disfunctional id say. I was too. I still am in some ways. Working, definitely. At home it's much better.
Your quip about climate change studies is a perfect example of what you tried to evoke it against. Yes, there are thousands of papers (not studies) published about the more alarmist perspective, but almost all of them are based upon the output of computer models or extremely dubious (“adjusted”) surface temperature data. Large meta-studies have been done of the literature, and they reveal that less that 1% of the papers support the AGW conclusion. The media (because they love clicks) hypes the alarmist perspective at the expense of the actual science being done (model output doesn’t count as data in science). Also, the breathing method that helps with scoliosis is the Schroth Method, and it does not undo scoliosis as you assert. It can prevent worsening and help with pain. In some cases, curves can be reduced. Great interview overall. Just felt I should address some misinformation.
::: Thank you for your comment. If he could stick to his area of expertise, and get away from the temptation of glorifying unfounded rhetoric, I might make an effort to tell him why half of his eyebrows are missing.
What about someone who is allergic to tape though? Adhesives cause me to get itchy after a short time. I tried to put a tiny bit of tape on my lips and I noticed within 10 minutes I had to take it off because of my lips starting to swell and get itchy
I don’t know if this msg will reach Mr. Nestor, but since you are in SF, you might be interested to contact Dr. Erik Peper, professor who teaches the Biofeedback course, if you aren’t already in touch with him. He taught us some of the heart and temperature regulation with breathing practice and sparked my interest in studying breath and breathing.
Interesting about breathing and Scoliosis (which I have with a rod). About ten years ago I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (rock bottom tsh.) I heard and read that some doctors on the natural side say that Scoliosis is caused by Thyroid dysfunction, because the Thyroid is responsible for management of how calcium is used in the development and maintenance of the bones.
These 2-3 hour videos are fine if you have several hours to spare but other much shorter versions summarising key points and action plan would be more useful to me.
It's ok to pause and return at a later time. These long form videos are free lectures. And we have the opportunity to return to them whenever we would like. It's revolutionary. If it takes a couple days to get through a video that's fine, and maybe better. That way you can think on the 30 mins you listened to previous. Take care
THE POWER OF BABY BREATHING “The breath I am referring to is not a Yoga breath, nor a transcendental breath, a deep breath, or a meditation breath. These terms have been so over-used that they no longer have specific definitions. They are catch-all phrases.” “The breath I am describing in The Simple Solution is the result of cognizant ‘mindful’ awareness of our breathing, which is like the breath flow of an infant. The Simple Solution breath is as natural as a baby breathing.” What is Baby breathing? What nerves control breathing?; The phrenic nerve may not be something you have heard of before, but as you read this, it is keeping you alive. This nerve controls the diaphragm muscle, which controls the breathing process. When the diaphragm contracts, the chest cavity expands and creates room for inhaled air. Slow deep breathing improves blood oxygenation, This improves ventilation efficiency for oxygen as shown by blood oxygenation increase, and it reduces systemic and pulmonary blood pressure at high altitude but does not change pulmonary gas diffusion. How does deep breathing help anxiety? BREATHING! ... Abdominal breathing for 20 to 30 minutes each day will reduce anxiety and reduce stress. Deep breathing increases the supply of oxygen to your brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes a state of calmness. Our baby breath is a true life enthusiasm Expression: To live life, to live each moment with enthusiasm is to really live life. The quality of life, the quality of the work done, the quality of relationships, everything is enriched through enthusiasm. Where there is enthusiasm there is maximum recognition and usage of everything available. Enthusiasm spreads to others too, gives them the courage to do their best and enrich their lives. Experience: When I am enthusiastic, I am able to enjoy everything that comes my way. The biggest obstacle seems like a game for me, and I pass it easily, without experiencing any difficulty. Confidence builds up in me and gives me the courage, to be the best in all I do. I slowly increase my own potential and steadily move on towards success. Raman Pathik Author of The Simple Solution! www.thesimplesolutionbook.com 301-412-5112
You described me to a T with my anxiety! And I have been doing deep breathing meditation but only for 4 to56 minutes, but I do know when I do them absolutely I do feel peace and calmness in my body. Also a cold shower helps. But I love that you talked about enthusiasm. It brought back such beautiful memories of my old self! And I want it back so desperately! I am in deep fear and anxiety all the time. I know how to pull myself out for short periods. My problem right now is I’m home way too much. I need to find my purpose again LIGHT my passion. The Covid, and other outside things have got me home. But I am going to try your technique, and thank you so much for posting that , probably save my life! I went on my nature walk this morning and talk to God and ask him to send me a sign of how to help myself! Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🌿🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We are literally moving through spaces of rhythms - and we are all cabable of becoming conscious and aware cocreators of the rhythms and vibrational colors that we send out - and breathing, movements, thoughts, feelings, nature sounds, Music, colors, are all doors into experiencing and expressing and receiving and creating all kinds of realities - the web of lives -- 🌸🌺💗
I'm a mouth breather; I grew up in swimming pool and joined the swimming team young. We needed to breathe through our mouth.
Glad I found this!
Life is a big picture and every part matters. As well as every part needs to be ignored at different parts of the day and night. Wow i didn't think that breathing and mindset was as impactful. Everyone knows what a life or death situation can feel like. Then you have one. You are changed forever. Knowing how to handle or faking a stressful situation to then handle it better the next time is helpful. Great talk
I used to teach the violin in schools and always dreaded the new starters who walked through the door with their mouths hanging open! They tended to be very remote and passive (rather than active and engaged) learners and had far slower reflexes than the nose breathers. School teachers really need to incorporate breathing training into their lessons as well as the Alexander Technique.
Well it’s not they’re fault ! Your a terrible person and should be a little more sympathetic especially in your field of work

And It’s not up to you to pass those kinds of judgements,
@@TheAweberry I can pass any judgement I want just as she’s doing apparently so kindly mind your business
@@fernandotapia5827 a world condemned to make observations is a world too weak to evolve. Nowhere did they claim, mouth breathers are terrible people. If you are too weak and fragile to handle someone's observation then do yourself a favor and stay off social media! Alternatively, you could just accept that she is correct in assuming that children with their mouths open tend to be poorer learners, thus requiring much more patience and attention. It's okay to vent about frustrating situations, especially if they are preventable by educating parents and teachers. To deny this and to get emotional is unreasonable.

Thank you so much for this reminder! Although I’m vaccinated, I’m in the last days of acquiring the bug COVID- and thank be to God, I was practicing the nose breathing recommended here, and I can assure you that that helped me to go throughout it with no greater complications… not even having to go to a clinic! I’m 77, I thank God for this reminders to be able to keep our health in check. Blessings to All with much love & gratitude. Mayu.
Learn, learn, Learn to be BETTER!!! THANKS!!!
My new favorite subject. Breathwork
Awesome information again 👏 thanks for 36:30 emphasising the children who can benefit of this, also those who grew up as adults still lacking this natural tension relieving element. Thanks
Most kids have allergies 🤧 because of eating fast food and sweet
All make sense! Thank you for this, practically, life saving information.
Pure intelligence manifesting, well done guys!.
Thank you for introducing me to your guest, and bringing light to such a fascinating topic. Never thought how important nasal breathing was. Definitely going to try to incorporate it into my routine.
I remember that my dad would do daily chores or yard work as a form of meditation. Rather than hustling through the chore to get it done as fast as possible, he would instead go fairly slow and be very deliberate in each part of the task, taking time to see that it was done nicely. And i remember him taking long, slow, deep breaths when doing this.
Its my belief that this was a common way for people to get their work done through the ages and we have lost this great tool in our modern society.
That's a lovely story. So often our own bodie tell us the way to heal and it sounds like your father mindfully did his chores using breathwork to make it a meditative task. How wonderful, and how healing.

I believe it was something that he picked up from his parents. Not anything that was taught purposefully, it was just part of the culture.
My thoughts about this Rangan is we're designed to live peaceful calm lives in paradise taking care of the earth and animals. Our bodies are not designed for this modern lifestyle, but we are so wonderfully made that our body is still trying it's very best to keep us alive and healthy. It's just overwhelmed by the constant stress.
I always enjoy your podcast. This one is excellent.
I love your "more social, less media" so true.
our world has lost touch with social interactions and social relations.
We've been busted out of opinions and what's allowed. How about who cares and just have fun. Don't dog when you're a dog. Get up and go.
Say hi, how about that.
Very interesting podcast. I think it seems obvious that 2020 is the year breathing seems so important is because there of pandemic, one which affects people’s ability to breathe, it is our lifeline.
Thank you so much! I’m so thankful for my perception to this science!!
I have been a mouth breather for many years and many of these years I wore a mouth guard because I would grind my teeth when I was sleeping. It can help you keep your mouth shut and breathe through your nose while you are sleeping. You can get a mouth guard from any drug store and fit it yourself. I hope it helps people at night.
You can just put a little piece of tape on your mouth and it will stay closed all night.
How many times do i have to watch you james and find something new or remember it differently. Or say, i don't remember you saying that. LOVE IT
Your talk sounds great. How about showing + demonstrating what are talking about breathing. Some will call it show + tell. I hear what u say. Unable to picture it in my mind. Please include inhale along with the exhale.
Try just googling it here on youtube- search bar There are many to choose from!
This is totally a game changer 🙏
Thankyou for bringing this to our attention, truly amazing !
Breathing is life and life is breathing 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Not just BREATHING but also COMMUNITY. Like the meditation (safety in like-minded). Safety not just in breathing but also in caring, and sharing. .
I like the long podcasts. I break them up and listen to them on the way to work. Also consider doing a video of the 3 minute breathing exercise you were talking about half way through the video? I would appreciate it. I also feel way better breathing out and in. I tried some exercises and felt a huge difference especially waking up this morning so thank you!
Ya long videos are also good for work like when I weld or mow etc.
Do you still practice these exercises?
@@v1ktorr124 I learned a new set of different exercises. I went through a Breathing Certificate Teaching program by Belisa Vranich. So I learned how to work out the breathing muscles. It has made a huge difference for me to be able to breathe diaphragmatically and have strong breathing muscles. I am also a bagpiper and it has made bagpiping so much more efficient and easier than before (=
@@paws1528 Great to hear!
@@paws1528 thanks for sharing! I was hoping to find out about the "3 minute spiral breathing" as well
Thank ya'll so much! I will employ, immediately, thank again!

Try this guys channel lots of great tips that helped me as I also couldn't breathe through my nose a few years back now I'm able to
I’m on my 2nd reading of the book, I have an illness with diaphragm weakness compounded by Long Haul so I always feel like “progress”, while it has occurred, is freakishly slow. I can only tell by nap times and things I can do more smoothly from a year ago.
But I’m working on my breathing again….
It always stumps me why so many CPAP systems I’ve seen force mouth breathing! It’s also not good for mouths or teeth, it’ll be interesting to see how the sleep specialists adapt.
Can you give some breathing advice for people with lung issues, ie, Asthma or COPD?
very valid points. very informative. Thanks!
Kudos to you both and humble respect to my Guru ji H H Swami Rama 🙏🙏
"Eastern medicine is great if you want to live, western medicine is great if you do not want to die" - so true!
Thank you so much! All make sense!
Thank YOU!
Diagphramatic breathing is taught in Pranayam classes at Indian Consul in Johannesburg South Africa... Thanks so much for the podcasts on breathing While awareness is "King" breathing is "prince"!
Excellent Info! I bought the book-read it three times- and since then have employed various tools/ breathing practices provided at the end of the. book.
Nasal breathing HAS become much easier in just a short amount of time!
Fantastic read!....have read it twice since getting it last year and will be revisiting it again when I finish my current book, so much great information.... gentle mouth taping at night to only nasal breath has transformed the quality of sleep....have you tried this one?
Very good.
I jogged years ago when younger. I alwsys breathhed through my nose. My heart beat was 55. I listened to talk and music. Iafter a years practice i did my best time on 10 k. In 4o mins after first year been 60. Id no one training me ...it was my own doing. As children we were alway told to stop eating flys ..keep mouth shut.
I did track and field, soccer, and swimming competitively my whole childhood into teen years. I still run and cycle today. I discovered nasal breathing from way back then. However, I mouth breathed while sleeping. I finally discovered it and stopped it. My blood pressure and hydration level normalized.
You talked about chewing in the second part, From my own research I learned that chewing helps break the food down which helps the digestive system cope better, and that it also makes the food more alkaline before it hits your stomach! I don't remember if it was because of saliva or the break down of the food matter but I know a more alkaline is better against cancer and acidic body. So only good comes with more chewing. Also former generations were told to chew 30 times.
Would like to hear a discussion regarding people who have nasal passages frequently blocked from hay fever and pollen allergies.
I go much easier through polen periods since I'm training and nose breathe... My nose is less leaking. I know it sounds stupid, but it is.
Me two.
Give up gluten, helped me tremendously, could never breath through my nose.
Wow!!!!! This is so good, thanks so much.
I have severe sclerosis. I have lost 6 inches in height. My lungs and all vital organs are comprssed. The doctors say there is nothing to do at my 80 years. The youth today have a much better future.

My high school gym teacher wouldn't allow us to chew gum while we exercised and taught us to breathe through our noses. That was in the 80s. He was very smart!
As a long time professional problem solver, a correct yoga nidra position and breathing in bed has always be the only solution for me to get in sleep and avoid dreaming about all these ugly issues of the past day, it was just magic!
Your dreams come to you in the service of health and healing. If you had nightmares, that's your wisest inner advisor saying "Pay Attention! This is important." I'm glad reducing your anxiety with breathwork helped changed things - they might have been coming to say you needed to leave your work at work.
I had bad dreams and recurring nightmares myself that were impacting my life badly - until I read "Conquering Bad Dreams and Nightmares" by Barry Krakow, MD, and Joseph Neidhardt, MD. Like Dr. Chatterjee and James Nestor, Krakow and Neidhardt back up their claims with hard science in the lab - as well as techniques for understanding the dream's messages. Once I told my nightmares "I'm listening" they began to transform into magical healing dreams. They referred to old trauma, current life stresses, and an addiction to sleeping pills. By learning to understand my dreams, I joined a dream group, grieved old repressed grief, and quit sleeping pills. Learning to listen to the wisdom of your dreams can be just as powerful in transforming your life as learning better breathing the way it's taught here in this excellent video. Thanks to Dr. Chatterjee for another splendid educational video to improve our health, and I'll be reading James Nestor's book.

Hello! Thanks for that amazing and wonderful video! Very appreciate!
Is there any how to breath video available? So if anybody gets a 5 minutes exercise a day (or maybe 10) the world would be a better place 🫶
Are there any resources from Swami Rama of his practices? Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Dr Rangan, which of all the defects we have as modern humans, is your number one of repairing? could you make a list? thanks
I am starting to realise how much I have been breathing through my mouth, I like to think I am a lot healthier than I was fasting eating only healthy foods, but then to realise if I don't breathe correctly everything else won't work, but when I really work hard there goes the mouth breathing again guess it will just take time like changing to healthy eating habits, but really trying
Great talk! Those phones don’t exist in Germany anymore…looking at a 2021 video…remarkable…
Very Interesting, its like Cracker Jacks eat one and you want more, so it just the same with this subject/topic, I'm glued to my seat😋😷
I watched the video on tape in your mouth at night and it's changed the way I sleep I sleep so much better I feel better my mouth is not dry. And I do do the breathing too.
Would be awesome as if we didn't have to work everyday and we had a list of every show from what I've learned in this show and we can wake up in the morning and do the 260 things on the list every day we would probably have a lot of peace be very happy and healthy. So unfortunately because we have to work we're going to have to create longer days so do that we're going to have to speak to the almighty and ask him to pause time or extend time so we have time to do all of these awesome things!
Practice becomes habit… habits form the final outcomes of our lives. So if you have to find the time… is it worth it? Your choice. Pick one or two.. master them.. then move onto 2 more of the remaining 264

thanks for this great interview. i tried you breathing technique 3 4 5 and it is really effectively. my hrv went up a lot. is this technique meant to practice just short time or can you do it like 20 mintues?
can you please share how to do the spiral breath you talked about. I have the exact same issue with my right side. Thank you so much!
Yes ♥ 24 mins in... absolutely correct... postures were developed to enhance breathwork♥ i most often teach breath work and go into simple stretches to rest for while♥
What about adults who are diagnosed with ADHD .. at 47 yrs old!! I hate labels but knowing I’m not a freak but a brain 🧠 that’s doing something different..
Many of us out here undiagnosed and living a life of disturbances left right Center.. wondering why ..
Scattered brain is a thing..
breathing is key
yah ive always wondered how to get into meditation as an adhder...for me i want to get out of my head not into my head more. Yoga over meditation for me for sure. Finding breathing meditation almost impossible and so boring
anyone have some good video examples how teachers are introducing breathwork to autistic kids or with adhd?
I slowed my kids breathing, sleeping next to them and had them deep breath slowly in slowly out. They were both sleeping in less than 20 seconds. LOL
If i only knew this 7 years ago. The amount of sleep we all would have gained in no time flat. Breath holds are next. they can go 10 to 15 seconds only. Disfunctional id say. I was too. I still am in some ways. Working, definitely. At home it's much better.
Your quip about climate change studies is a perfect example of what you tried to evoke it against. Yes, there are thousands of papers (not studies) published about the more alarmist perspective, but almost all of them are based upon the output of computer models or extremely dubious (“adjusted”) surface temperature data. Large meta-studies have been done of the literature, and they reveal that less that 1% of the papers support the AGW conclusion. The media (because they love clicks) hypes the alarmist perspective at the expense of the actual science being done (model output doesn’t count as data in science).
Also, the breathing method that helps with scoliosis is the Schroth Method, and it does not undo scoliosis as you assert. It can prevent worsening and help with pain. In some cases, curves can be reduced.
Great interview overall. Just felt I should address some misinformation.
::: Thank you for your comment. If he could stick to his area of expertise, and get away from the temptation of glorifying unfounded rhetoric, I might make an effort to tell him why half of his eyebrows are missing.
Weston A. Price Foundation needs a mention here as they have been saying this stuff for decades.
The Price Is Right!
Perhaps the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere will help to calm the anxieties of Climate Change theory? Tremendous interview!

What’s the best way to breath during exercise? Varying levels of exertion.

What about someone who is allergic to tape though? Adhesives cause me to get itchy after a short time. I tried to put a tiny bit of tape on my lips and I noticed within 10 minutes I had to take it off because of my lips starting to swell and get itchy
There is lot of mention on yoga in the discussion. Isn't it asana that is being alluded to as yoga is the total of 8 elements (ashtanga)
,yes love one s I thank you very much so I can be mindful in my breaven so what about seeing,
I don’t know if this msg will reach Mr. Nestor, but since you are in SF, you might be interested to contact Dr. Erik Peper, professor who teaches the Biofeedback course, if you aren’t already in touch with him. He taught us some of the heart and temperature regulation with breathing practice and sparked my interest in studying breath and breathing.
Fasting regularly is icing on this "health" cake!
Can this help with speech - stammers ?
Interesting about breathing and Scoliosis (which I have with a rod). About ten years ago I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (rock bottom tsh.) I heard and read that some doctors on the natural side say that Scoliosis is caused by Thyroid dysfunction, because the Thyroid is responsible for management of how calcium is used in the development and maintenance of the bones.
These 2-3 hour videos are fine if you have several hours to spare but other much shorter versions summarising key points and action plan would be more useful to me.
For me too. I'm a very busy grandmother, I'm literally running all day. I have to keep switching on and off.
It's ok to pause and return at a later time. These long form videos are free lectures. And we have the opportunity to return to them whenever we would like. It's revolutionary. If it takes a couple days to get through a video that's fine, and maybe better. That way you can think on the 30 mins you listened to previous. Take care
Listen while your driving, cleaning, etc....I love long form.
THE POWER OF BABY BREATHING
“The breath I am referring to is not a Yoga breath, nor a transcendental breath, a deep breath, or a meditation breath. These terms have been so over-used that they no longer have specific definitions. They are catch-all phrases.”
“The breath I am describing in The Simple Solution is the result of cognizant ‘mindful’ awareness of our breathing, which is like the breath flow of an infant. The Simple Solution breath is as natural as a baby breathing.”
What is Baby breathing?
What nerves control breathing?; The phrenic nerve may not be something you have heard of before, but as you read this, it is keeping you alive. This nerve controls the diaphragm muscle, which controls the breathing process. When the diaphragm contracts, the chest cavity expands and creates room for inhaled air. Slow deep breathing improves blood oxygenation, This improves ventilation efficiency for oxygen as shown by blood oxygenation increase, and it reduces systemic and pulmonary blood pressure at high altitude but does not change pulmonary gas diffusion.
How does deep breathing help anxiety? BREATHING! ... Abdominal breathing for 20 to 30 minutes each day will reduce anxiety and reduce stress. Deep breathing increases the supply of oxygen to your brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes a state of calmness.
Our baby breath is a true life enthusiasm
Expression: To live life, to live each moment with enthusiasm is to really live life. The quality of life, the quality of the work done, the quality of relationships, everything is enriched through enthusiasm. Where there is enthusiasm there is maximum recognition and usage of everything available. Enthusiasm spreads to others too, gives them the courage to do their best and enrich their lives.
Experience: When I am enthusiastic, I am able to enjoy everything that comes my way. The biggest obstacle seems like a game for me, and I pass it easily, without experiencing any difficulty. Confidence builds up in me and gives me the courage, to be the best in all I do. I slowly increase my own potential and steadily move on towards success.

You described me to a T with my anxiety! And I have been doing deep breathing meditation but only for 4 to56 minutes, but I do know when I do them absolutely I do feel peace and calmness in my body. Also a cold shower helps. But I love that you talked about enthusiasm. It brought back such beautiful memories of my old self! And I want it back so desperately! I am in deep fear and anxiety all the time. I know how to pull myself out for short periods. My problem right now is I’m home way too much. I need to find my purpose again LIGHT my passion. The Covid, and other outside things have got me home. But I am going to try your technique, and thank you so much for posting that , probably save my life!
