James Nestor, author of Breath, on his research & the power of SKY (Sudarshan Kriya)

[@ShrikrishnaPotdar]

Yes the Daily Practice of Sudarshan kriya helps a lot in handling everyday stress. No doubt those 25-30 minutes invested in morning keep me energized full day. It is high time everyone should learn and practice Sudarshan Kriya daily.

[@ashberrychapman7117]

James thank you. I saw your brilliant Rangan Chatterjee interview and I've ordered your book. I love your work and how it fits with other meditation and breathwork in my life (and ongoing spiritual rebirthings). Absolutely wonderful. Love, gratitude, peace.

I’m at day 36 out of 40 days doing SKY Journey. It’s helped noticeably with my chronic problems that shall go nameless! A great relief!

[@patriciabeckeryoga]

So glad you did the reserach and write your book! 🙏 It is so valuable and I share your studies and information with my yoga students! 🙏

[@ranjeesh123]

One of the best course I have done ..

[@wmurthy]

Very interesting. Having done the course and being a practioner, I can vouch for it.

[@JeremyOcchipinti]

This is very encouraging. Wow, the ancient power of our own breath. I’m going to sign up for the Art Of Living’s, “SKY Breath Meditation program, now online. I am looking forward to experiencing “Sudarshan Kriya” next Friday / Saturday / Sunday. Thank you for your research and book.

How did that go? I'm not getting the best impression of that organization. I don't know of another ready way to learn yogic breathing techniques though.

What impression are you getting? It's a great organisation and one of the most effective breathwork techniques out there. ​@@lauraharding3101

[@jmp9782]

WOW! Who thought just learning to attend to your breath can have so many benefits!

[@Jm01394]

When I learned meditation practice from Prem Rawat I wasn’t so sure of what to expect. My biggest epiphany occurred while doing the breathing exercise called “holy name”! It occurred that breath is straight from God. I threw out my high school education of air being so much this or that mixture of gas and chemicals. That was 1978. I learned to breathe through my nose then but wasn’t taught the uselessness of breathing through mouth. That I learned from your book Breath. I downloaded the books of your mention also. Between the authors of “New Thought “ (which isn’t new at all) Neville Goddard, Prentice Mulford, Brown Landone , even Rev. Ike I’ve been loading up my thinking with this information instead of society, institution, government, medical, military, industrial, educational brainwashing. Thank you.!! The breath is most important for life and living in the Creators Company ,Heaven on Earth!

[@vamshidharrao3714]

I was lucky enough to discover and learn how amazingly breathing exercises help. Practicing Sudarshan Kriya (SKY) for 6 years now. A tremendous transformation in my life. Highly recommend it to anyone and everyone to explore SKY meditation. You will thank me 🤗

[@swavnasahoo711]

hey, thank you for input. Wanted to know if you have a fixed schedule for the practice.

[@shvetareddy9713]

SKY Breath Mediation is the easiest and simplest way to regulate stress (mental and physical). Amazing technique and so grateful for it.

[@shivanetha1]

You explained so clearly about SKY breath meditation. Thank you very much

[@harshdurga3925]

Jay gurudev charno Ko pranam. creative Sudarshan kriya very very nice.

[@jsamala1]

Great to hear your story of how SKY has helped you with health and mental wellbeing!

[@aadgirl2260]

Everyone should read the book.... Best scientific explanation ever on Breath work. It’s even available in library . Have fun breathing (especially focus on exhale).

[@sufiadvani240]

Thank you James for sharing all about the power of breath in your book. It is amazing how something we do that is so vital to our existence, and we hardly give it attention. Breath is so vital!

[@shivanetha1]

I hope James and Guruji get chance to have conversation. It will be very interesting to hear from both of them 🙏

[@andrew.keaveney]

Looking forward to reading the book!

[@franlyon-dugin1223]

I've read the book and am working on the exercises. I am wondering how you work with children on these techniques as you notice them doing mouth breathing versus nose breathing at a young age?

[@shreedharthuljaram5680]

awesome, is this book available in amazon

[@ashleyvalentin3210]

What’s the difference between sudarshan kriya and pranayama?

[@umanerurkar1664]

Pranayama is best for optimal lung functioning .. there are different types of pranayamas.. Sudarshan kriya is a powerful breathing technique that will not just eliminate long standing health problems but also get you to feel peaceful, be calm.. mind more relaxed, focused.. it’s totally experiential .. cannot really explain in words the effects after practicing Sudarshan kriya.. just go for it. You may call 9137434806 for further understanding

[@lauraharding3101]

Pranayama is an ancient art of yogic breath regulation. Sudarshan kriya is a few strands of that practice that have been co-opted, streamlined for modern use, coined and marketed for sale by a certain organization which operates a bit like a pyramid scheme, is my understanding. I would really like to hear Mr. Nestor's views on the matter.

[@MS-bb1pb]

Sudarshan Kriya includes Pranayama + Rhythmic breathing. Hence it results in additional benefits. Specifically: Pranayama- 3 stage Pranayama + bhastrika Pranayama. SKY: Rythmic breathing. I've been practicing SKY for more than a decade. It is something which you can do anywhere without any equipments.

[@poonammaster8361]

Hi Laura, before you comment you should do your research. Pyramid scheme is where people make money. All of the teachers of Art of Loving work as volunteers and they make no money. They do it because their lives were transformed and they want to do the same for others.

[@rusty8191]

Sudarshan Kriya is a concentrated way of doing Pranayaam.

[@phenomenalfemale524]

How do I find a class that teaches Sudarshan Kriya breathing?

[@parthsourav4502]

There are many online classes going on and besides there are many centres established around every part of the country nearly in every cities..

why dont psychiatrists recommend these procedures?

[@katk7946]

Some do nowadays. Especially when nothing else seems to work. And most of their treatment is prescribing medication. Natural is always better as it gets to the root cause without side effects

Thank you for sharing. I am signing up for SKY training today!
