[@ernestb7055]

But what everybody must do now is to wear diapers on their faces. That is healthy, right?

[@Charles-xe2qh]

I held my breath for an hour, and it certainly changed my life.

[@ruxandraserbanescu9831]

Awesome discussion and information. I loved it when he said: No No, Noooo, snoring is not normal, not at all, not one bit!!!

[@Waveslider3]

Dr John Douillard taught me this years ago, his book ‘mind, body, sport’. Thanks for spreading health!!! 👍the world of modern science is finally catching up to Ayurveda.

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Loved it, thank you both

[@MandoMTL]

Anecdotal, but I've noticed my own deviant breathing patterns and corrected them via emotional state analysis. My focus was more cerebral oxygenation (combatting brain fog and augmenting weightlifting performance), but the process exposed various anxiety vectors I could then address. The knowledge this man has accumulated is extremely valuable. Skip the self-experimentation and look into this.

[@MandoMTL]

@Elliot Thank you for the recommendation Elliot.

[@MandoMTL]

@Elliot My main triggers were parasitic thoughts, fyi. I imagine it's a huge component of any conversation on the topic. It's crazy how we end up being our own tormenters.

[@MandoMTL]

@Elliot Exactly. That particular mental process became completely dysfunctional in that it was rooting me to a false reality. I had coped with trauma via anger leveraging, and got stuck in that deviant biomechanical loop. I'd say the short term benefits were undeniable, but clearly not sustainable.

[@brastmonkey]

James Nestor’s book is great. There are little tweaks in there that will significantly change your life for the better. I highly recommend it for everyone.

[@rareelk]

Really great discussion, I'm so glad you had James on. His work is criminally under appreciated.

[@dzikdziki2983]

That's true. We have been lied to for a long time now about health and nutrition.

[@scuube7176]

Awesome episode Chris, truly breathtaking

[@tron_zone_guy]

I have read James book ‘Breath’ well worth it. Cool podcast 👍

[@rgt4848]

Thanks for the vidio. The best way to get a good workout is outside with no electronics and breathing through your nose...as much as you can.

[@katyoduinn3452]

Thanks for this Chris! Changing my breathing in line with Buteyko principles pretty much saved my life.

[@penghunter4565]

Hellllllll yeah began reading this a week ago

[@d4v379]

This should have more views

[@et4493]

Once again, providing us with an incredibly useful and interesting podcast. Thank you so much

[@slasaus1]

Much respect from Amsterdam mate! Saw ur podcast with imho (one of) da pundit(s) on how the mind works, Peter Crone aka Da Mind Architect and looking forward to this interview with imho (one of) da pundit(s) on why ur breath is so important. It makes me really happy to see young blokes like u talking wisdom and being already that awaked within their journey. Namaste

[@tamaravuksan3672]

Amazing content Chris, thank you for this interview. I've been struggling with my breathing for the last few years, but I never took the time to dive into it and realise that I do have a problem. Will work on it from now on. I guess, sometimes we need someone to remind us. ❤️💪🏼 Keep up the amazing work you are doing.

[@giftnwolisa2521]

How are you ?

[@etogalya]

Not me weirdly paying attention to my breathing this whole podcast

[@brandonroberts13]

Hindu spiritual leaders say that perpetual attention to your breath is one of the aspects of enlightenment! Bringing the unconscious to consciousness

[@if-not-now]

Ha-ha

[@sologmomma2494]

Ordered my copy today, thank you. Great conversation⭐

[@maheshseshadri490]

Beautiful and informative session 👍🙏

[@jasonmajere2165]

Hunter Focus I was told as a kid to close my mouth or I’ll catch flies. Also notice when you nose breathe almost all the time, is that you naturally pool saliva around the teeth. Drying out the teeth can lead to more cavities.

[@mostlypeacefulrowan8747]

Ever since learning to breathe through my nose my wife has lost weight and is 20 years younger.

[@TheDhammaHub]

It is difficult to understand how so few people do breathing techniques... there are so many benefits

[@privatprivat7279]

thats because evryone claims to know the right way...but none trully succeeded with anything....getting bombarded with self help guides and courses on youtube etc is really maddness....the "life coaches" are sprouding out the ground...i understand that people that came from a onhealthy negative depressed lifestyle that get better after an awakening and come to awareness wanne help others...but its to much... u can't see the forest for the trees....

[@TheDhammaHub]

@@privatprivat7279 it would be better if people waited a bit with teaching until they achieved some stability, it is true

[@MandoMTL]

It's overlooked because it's something superficially simple. The assumption is that the process is as mundane as walking.

[@privatprivat7279]

@Elliot oh no...i am doing (planning on doing way more) but u need to build it up slowly...if i think of the list of the things i should be doing and c'ant do...(the goals i have)...and what i "can" do atm...(its really bad) i am so weak... because of my body that i poluted and neglected for over 20 years...people really need to slow down indeed...start with the fundementals...but thats not what people are getting from the current meta...because of all the (money drainer games ) people need to understand the whole package...(but not many people wanne do the whole package...)

[@MandoMTL]

@@privatprivat7279 It doesn't help that most "coaches" spout metaphysical platitudes with zero practical benefit. Seems to me the root causes of the collective malaise are never truly addressed. Truly "fixing" people today is tantamount to removing them from the consumer base, and thus terrible for business.

[@GoldenGaze1985]

Another technique to ensure nose breathing during sleep is to carefully insert a clean sock into ones mouth. Works a treat.

[@jamesryan20]

Personally used to mouth breathe all the time and now I wake up not feeling like crap and not gasping for water with a dry mouth

[@Glitteryspirit]

One pattern I notice with top breath work coaches is their rapid blinking of the eyes, which concerns me, it seems that their nervous system is stressed in a way.... anyone else notice this?

[@Fanaro]

What's his opinion on nose mucus? How often should we try to clean it? What is a clean nose? So many cities exacerbate this with pollution...

[@SirBoden]

Nicely done

[@voyello]

Dr. John Mew could add some great content to this particular conversation

[@mark3158274]

My question is when I started mouth taping a few days age my digestion greatly improved within 2 days faster than better sleeping I'm not sure why any answers ? Thanks you sir.

[@pimleijssen5361]

Been loving the podcasts dude truely an inspiration, on the topic of breathing a podcast with Wim hof would be awesome, been doing his breathing and cold excercise for a while and its amazing highly reccomend looking into it !

[@Jssssssssssssssssds]

5k run and now My nostrils are on fire

[@jmfp21jp]

I dunno if I missed it but can you use breathing to cool yourself down instead of being able to warm up?

[@HaIsKuL]

Next Podcast: You're Drinking Water Wrong

[@BULLTRONHERO]

Now I just need to find a guru who can teach me how to make my nasal passages stay open wide enough and for long enough to breathe through my nose without literally suffocating.

[@Ja50nkAt]

Wish someone would have told me to breath through my nose when I was in grade school, maybe could have done better on tests! goddamit!

[@thomaspayne7617]

This is a full book of well-known facts in the midst of lots of woo. Worthless book.

[@killianmccluff36]

What is the breathwork?

[@requiem-ph5xx]

Great question 😐

[@liammccann8763]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Permit me to make one observation however; there is one glaring omission when speaking of the monks and that is prayer. Ne timeas.
