reading this now, I am fully engrossed in this lost art for heath reasons. Thank you, James Nestor and Take a Deep Breath.
I’m not bragging here, lol. But I’ve done a ton of yoga and meditation in the past 20 years (I’m still struggling through life but anyway) and I realized over the last few years how slowly I can breathe. I have lain in bed at night breathing in a fairly relaxed yet consciously slow and comfortable way, and noticed that my former partner, who had alll the breathing issues, would sometimes breathe 15 times in the amount of time I breathed once. Bizarre but true.
I like this short videos with straight and clear ideas. Love your channel! Keep on!
Thanks so much for the feedback, more on the way
The beginning and end doesnt sound like nose breathing, thanks for all the info
One of the best books I've read in recent times.💥💥💥💥💥
I’m reading it too! It is so AWESOME!! 💖💖💖
Mouth taping I will definitely start ... nearly finished the book
I’ve just started reading this book. I find it a bit oddly written - James writes in the third person, like Ceaser. But the book is very interesting and I’m learning a lot from it.
I highly recommend anyone that is learning the art of breathing to give it a read!
Thank you James for passing down your knowledge, and thanks to this channel!
Like Muhammad Ali or Gale Sayers. I would love to write a book… but I’m gonna leave that up to the smart people.
I didn't read the book yet, but may I ask what a big exhale mean? is it quickly and fully?
Amazing. Loved the info. Thank you. Namaste🙏
Ive almost read the book but whats puzzling me or it it me after watching load of james videos and reading the book he doesnt discuss where to breath out mouth or nose, yes breath in from the nose breath out where, you assume out through the nose as they say keep your mouth shut.
Does he purposly not state for a reason, its a big thing i imagine i personally fi d it easier to breath out through the nose.
Ps anyone tried the plank and breath through the nose.
Would love the answer for above thank you
Thanks craig
JUST BREATHE!!
Super key tips here, Thank You!! 🙌✌
Glad it was helpful!
@@TAKEADEEPBREATH 👍✌
You Rock James!
Who has found the video of Stough at Aspen showing how physical massage techniques that unlock breathing? (Mentioned in Nestor’s book)
Thanks for the good read “Breath”. I am now a nightly mouth taper !
What does it say about chewing our food?
Quick question - when you "breath less", on top of less breaths should you also inhale less volume of air? Ie, should you fill your lungs? Thanks
this is amazing,thanks
Thank you too!
Thank you❣️🥰👌🏼
Welcome!
Listened to ur book on audible. It's awesome. Thanks a lot. Breathing
Wonderful!
I have had problems with breathing due to asthma since shortly after birth. I have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis due to overuse of antibiotics used for treating constant infections over the years and have had it since 2004. I recently went to pulmonary rehabilitation sessions which lasted for 8 weeks and was held for 1 hour twice a week. They took us through exercises which consisted of walking on a treadmill, doing sitting and standing exercises, arm bike exercises, weight exercises, stationary bike exercises, step up exercises. One thing that I thought they would most definitely do was take us through some breathing exercises to try to make our lungs more efficient. Not one time did we have any instructions on how to breathe. I did ask the physiotherapist about breathing techniques and about how to breathe. She said most people breathe normally in the upper respiratory airways which is normal and said that when exercising you inhale through the nose and do purse lipped breathing on the exhale. That little talk lasted approximately 2 minutes. The only instruction I got on how to breathe. Totally amazed that no instruction was given on breathing techniques. Just one comment though. The introduction and ending of the video is the sound of a person breathing in and out but instead of it being through the nose, it's clearly through the mouth which is in total contradiction to what you are teaching?????
I really recommend Nestor's book. He talks about how certain kinds of breathing have helped asthmatics.
Great comment!
Thanks for the tips
You bet
I love the book
Buy a Neti pot and use it! It’s an excellent tool for cleaning the sinuses and making it easier to breathe and it has the added benefit of helping keep any small particles that are trapped in the mucus out of the lungs (think Covid).
Is possible this book in Spain and traduce?
Love the book. So well written, you make the concepts so easy to understand, thank you.
So much to learn from this man!
Totally agree
@@TAKEADEEPBREATH Please make me smarter… So breath holds increase oxygen and nitrous oxide? Breath holds with or without oxygen?
I want to get better at this… I’m gonna say breath holds w- empty lungs. I am older and used to be semi-athletic. I’m competitive so I’d like to compete with myself here and go longer.
Also, after doing a round of nose breathing do I inhale for a few seconds then exhale into breath hold retention?
I can hold my breath without air up to a minute, love to double that. Please help me win here. 👈🏼
MOST importantly, my gratitude to you. How you’re helping so many. Pretty sure you’re going to heaven. ❤️
Why ist this so old, on all channels, it's 3 years back from now, it should be in our awareness constantly ...
thank you
*Please which is correct the nose-nose breathing or the nose-mouth breathing?*
Does anyone know if James Nestor has a podcast out..... if he doesn't he certainly should.
What breathing app do you recommend?
Does it good for controlling initial stage of Asthma ?
So cool
Thanks Nina x
would you give me some advice on breathing while running? do you reckon breathing less apply even when exercising ? Big Thanks.
In the book, he talks about runners who've won multiple gold medals at the Olympics using restricted breathing, and how exercising general while concentrating on keeping the mouth closed confers multiple benefits in form, speed and stamina.
Can you make a video on how to improve your breath hold?
Hi Lex, Great idea, some will be on their way very soon
@@TAKEADEEPBREATH thanks, your videos and podcast has helped a lot.
Great, in anticipation for such a vid! But in a way, the information you're giving is already breathtaking 🙂❗
Look up wim hof breathing technique. Those exercise can help you hold your breath longer.
How does wearing a mask affect the breathing, in particular the C02/O2 equilibrium? I assume we breath in less oxygen and more carbon dioxide wearing a mask esp over prolonged periods.
Great question, Patrick McKeown author of the Oxygen Advantage answers that here very well: ua-cam.com/video/uRzk-dilOdU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ButeykoClinicInternational
The entry breath is a tight, sharp inhale through the mouth and exhale through the mouth. Now that you know what you know you might want to change that!
Should you fill your whole lungs? If I do that I can breathe 2 times a minute since I have big lungs.
Is this an official @James Nestor account?
Posture can also affect the oxygen flow.
Not a James Nestor account
inhale and exhale they are both in nose? sorry i don't understand :(
I am reading the Wim Hof method after reading breath and I am really confused? Both sound persuasive yet seem contradictory as James suggests less breathing and Wim advocates more breathing? Both claiming radical health benefits?
I think it's because both of it can have health benefits. The suggestion from James reduces chronic stress and the Wim method produces a burst of stress which can be also beneficial just like sport. It's the same with cold therapy and sauna or high intensity interval training.
@@hegeds WHM is for a specific purpose, its an exercise to assist manipulate/ spike your body into giving a beneficial hormonal response....you do it once a day...for the rest do the slow and easy nasal breathing
Andrew Huberman's good on this. Some breath is for keeping us calm and alert, some, like Wim Hof's, is for things like heightening focus and warming the body but is not for all the time. Nestor also talks about this in the second part of the book.
What happen if mi nose is completly obtured?
So when he talks about nasal breathing, he means no exhaling through the mouth?
Hes talking mostly about the 25,000 breaths a day we do, not breathing 'exercises'. With every day breathing that would mean in through the nose and out through the nose, out through the nose helps retain up to 45% more moisture, which is lost is you exhale through the mouth, I hope that helps...
@@TAKEADEEPBREATH ah i get it. Thanks for the response.
@@TAKEADEEPBREATH when jogging, am I supposed to be inhaling and exhaling through my nose? Or exhaling through my mouth. Am rattling through the book and fear that I may have overlooked this information! Tried jogging today with nasal inhale and exhale and had to keep stopping to blow my nose - condensation?! :D
@@TarotThrones I was wondering this myself. I Trained myself to breath in and out through my nose while running (which took a while) but for sprinting I breathe through my nose and out my mouth.
I believe it’s the inhale through the nose that matters most. That is where the air is filtered, temperature controlled, and humidified for easier absorption in the lungs. Exhaling through the mouth has a host of valuable benefits as well. We are big fans of “nose to mouth” breathing.
All this nose breathing made me have to yawn. Can you tell me how to yawn through my nose? :-)
Haha, I asked Patrick McKeown about yawning, he said he would use to tell me to try and yawn with their mouth shut but doesn't anymore, yawning by design in through the mouth, one to look into further at some point, for now I think you safe with a mouth yawn :-)
I really recommend reading the Breath book (by James Nestor, appearing here). My guess, based on my reading of it, is that if nose breathing is making you yawn (gulp breath) it's because your airways are obstructed. There are things can do about this, detailed in the book.
Yawning is a parasympathetic( non stress response) opposite to flight or flight sympathetic response. Nose breathing relaxes your system and this is why taking is triggered. Doors it and keep breathing and it will reduce
just fainted 😂
😂😂
Why a big exhale?
should we talk through our noses as well :-)
Holding your breath causes blood pressure to rise though.
James Nestor said he lowered his BP in a couple minutes by doing the breathing exercises on JRE.
Joe Rogan Experience #1506 - James Nestor
I agree. I have a condition where my chest does not expand, causing me to breathe shallow. This makes my bp go up.
@@fourierrocket If your chest can't expand properly, it seems likely to me, based on my reading of Nestor's book, that your diaphragm is also not fully contracting for exhalation. The vital importance of exhalation - more than inhalation - is one of the many counter-intuitive gems in the book. He also has an interesting chapter on a guy who had techniques for freeing the chest and the diaphragm. I don't want to over-promise if you have a specific condition, but it might well help.
1-Says that the perfect breath is to inhale 5.5 seconds and exhale 5.5 seconds. But then it says that your exhalations should be a little longer than your inhalations. Can someone clarify this for me?
2- Regarding the first doubt, I have two more doubts according to your answer:
a) If the main goal is to get a 5,5 second breath during the whole day, how do I achieve this?
b) If on the contrary your inhalations should be longer during the whole day, how can I achieve this?
3- Talk about excessive breathing and breath holding. Here it would be enough to do the Wim Hof breathing (TUMMO), wouldn't it, because in it you do both.
4- How does this apply in sports?
a) weight lifting
B) running/walking
5- And when sitting for several hours? because the posture complicates the breathing.
The opening and closing sounds of the video are of someone breathing in and out through their mouths……
Please say “breathe less frequently”
The mouth tapping was perhaps good advice but apart from that I have absolutely no idea how this book managed to get published. 99% drivel. I got half way through and left the book on the bus.
Chris, just out of curiosity, where did he lose you? Although I’ve only started the book, your idea is an interesting one. Sometimes authors take a project that can be summed up, anecdotes, research and all, in 100 pages but publishers need double or triple the link for book publication. I wonder if he got caught in that sort of situation?
@@theGoodAthleteProject well if you have or are reading the book you will see yourself. The book is total nonsense. Have a read and then let me know. I'm still angry at myself for paying for the book. A hyped up book. Nothing more. Total rubbish. And I fell for it
@@Emerald007007 Hey Chris, I'm not sure that my reading it will identify where the book lost *you* - what parts did you interpret as nonsense?
@@theGoodAthleteProject well have a read and see what you think. ?
@@Emerald007007 Hmmm. I'm reading it, and I'm looking to hear your insight (you had a serious reaction to it in your initial comment). Sounds like you're not interested in the discussion. All good. Have a great week.
