"TRY THIS Technique For 7 Days To IMPROVE YOUR BREATHING!" | James Nestor

Breathing; A mindless activity we do each and every day without giving any effort, thought, or practice. Perhaps this is the reason why so many of us suffer from poor sleep, lack of energy, weakened immune systems, and slow metabolisms. On this episode of Impact Theory, journalist and author of “Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art” James Nestor joins Tom Bilyeu to discuss why you need to immediately reevaluate your entire approach to breathing. They discuss how the way that you are breathing may be detrimental to your entire life, the power of breathing less, the incredible feats of free divers, the power of breathing through your nose, the health benefits of proper breathing, and how chewing positively transforms your face and airways.

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

[@cesaraspeaks]

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.

[@trashmail8]

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...

[@cesaraspeaks]

@@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!

[@trashmail8]

@@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

[@cesaraspeaks]

@@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'.

What does that mean

[@arnelljones6249]

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

[@Sweethands4]

​@@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.

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.

[@trashmail8]

@@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

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

[@cain2kill]

@@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.

I would love to speak with you about this as I struggle with anxiety and asthma

[@DutchBuddhist]

@@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!

[@Sweethands4]

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!

Those with kids on the “spectrum” will know what I’m writing about. Yes, this is just the beginning...

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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 KZbin 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

[@RahulSharma-zk5sh]

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.

[@judithmann3190]

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

[@ramrunsfast]

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.

[@gatoryak7332]

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.
