This BREATHING TECHNIQUE Will Transform Your BODY & MIND! | James Nestor & Lewis Howes

I’m 75 years old, as a baby I developed asthma & ended up in intensive care numerous times. They discovered I had an allergy to house dust, so my parents ripped up all the carpet in the house. I continued to suffer from asthma. I was administered antibiotics, steroids etc to no avail. At age 10 a lung specialist, told my mother, all these medications, were not working & effecting my immune system. In those days there were no asthma puffers, ventolin. The specialist told my mum, get a dress makers tape measure, he had one & demonstrated how to use it. He said Put it around just below your diaphragm. Each day let out all the air in your lungs, then breath deep & low, do this as many times a day & keep measuring the increase in inches. It worked & I got rid of asthma. Cheers Nik. ❤️

The mouth is for talking, the ears for listening and nose for breathing. Ancient times

Lewis, your show and your guests are AWESOME! thanks for helping us to learn more about our body and life. Keep up the good work!

I study foreign languages, I speak Italian, Romanian, English and French and I can tell you that doing pronunciation exercises in another language makes you exercise your throath and tongue since you have to get used to move your tongue differently to imitate the right sound

I have learned more useful life lessons from you tube than anything taught in schools.

If you know how to breathe. . breath can cool you down, warm you up, stops your mind from thinking, makes you happy ❤️

I healed my chronic illness (and asthma) with earthing, breathing (more like yoga and meditation & all activities that activate the parasympathetic nervous system) & stopped eating wheat & GMOs & mostly eat organic good oils. & lots of fats. I think the cause of my chronic debilitating illness was my ribs were inflexible from PTSD and a life of shallow breathing. I healed and feel better than ever!!! Happy & full of energy!

It’s crazy how intelligent our body is. When I was younger I had asthma. During summer time I would spend my entire day at the pool and I would challenge myself to do 1 lap under water with one breathe or throw a ring in the deeper level of the pool and go get it. I did not realized that truly my body was guiding instinctively to do those things to help itself operate on an optimal level. I’ve been led to focus on breathing exercises lately, thank you for providing such good information and helping people awaken to their full potential.

Humming is an amazing way to stimulate your vagus nerve. It is terrific for your health.

I am a yoga instructor. The first lesson I teach to new students in my classes is how to breathe and the importance of the breath. In all my classes we practice diaphragmatic breathing to calm the nervous system while doing a slow yoga practice. Thank you for your support to educate people on how to have a healthier body.

Highly recommend James Nestor's book "breathe". In the span of 4 days of practicing some of his breathing exercises I gradually went from BP of 126/89 to 122/82 to 117/80. It was higher before starting these exercises which was reason I began tracking with home device after my dentist commented during a routine cleaning. Going to continue and hope to see progress. Thank you James!

36:35 my vocal coach taught me that while singing, helps tremendously! Good for ‘head-voice’. As a registered nurse I understand the physiology, but as a singer ( hobby) it wasn’t until I put this into practice that I understood the benefits!!!

I can vouch for the tongue exercises helping snoring. I'm a singing coach and I kept hearing my students say they got the best night of sleep ever after their first lesson. I've attributed it to the tongue exercises I gave them. When you strengthen your tongue it tightens up and doesn't collapse into your throat when u fall asleep. Snoring stops. Strong tongue, no snoring. It will change ur life

Who else was concentrating really hard on breathing through her nose while watching this?

This is a fascinating conversation. I suffer from anxiety and it has helped me a lot. Thank you 😊..

I was in track, my coach taught us to run by breathing in with the nose (mouth closed) and exhale through the mouth. Took practice however we always won the race. Thirty years later I still breath this way and have taught many children. After a race we could still speak and carry on a conversation. The other were gasping, couldn’t speak.

"And יהוה Elohim formed the man out of dust from the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils BREATH OF LIFE. And the man became a LIVING BEING." Bereshit (Genesis) 2:7

My ex-cardiologist actually asked me "can't you breathe faster?" at my last appointment. He was listening to my heart and apparently I was taking up too much of his time. I was a dancer for 35 years. I naturally breathe deeper, slower and easier than most people. That question is why he is an "ex". I'm healthier without him.

personally by just changing my breathing throughout the video helped bring me a lot of clarity

I m just amazed how this people are spreading healing technics for free . Even if I didn't read I would buy the book just to support.. Great content and smooth interview..
