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

YOU’RE BREATHING. BUT ARE YOU BREATHING RIGHT?

James Nestor is the author of Breath: the New Science of a Lost Art, a New York Times bestseller, and Amazon chart-topper. In his book, Nestor travels the world to explore the science behind ancient breathing practices. He combines cutting-edge studies to uncover why humans lost the ability to breathe correctly and how to remedy it. In this video, he shares his personal, transformative experience with SKY Breath Meditation (Sudarshan Kriya) and how it helped launch him on his research quest.

“No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.” — James Nestor

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!

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).

[shvetareddy]

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

[sufiadvani]

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!

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!

I've been watching your interviews including Joe Rogans podcast. Amazing book! Thanks for sharing about your SKY experience.

[shivanetha]

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

[kahany]

Wonderful thanks for share and explaing it ¡⚘

[franlyon-dugin]

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?

[shreedharthuljaram]

awesome, is this book available in amazon

[ashleyvalentin]

What’s the difference between sudarshan kriya and pranayama?

[phenomenalfemale]

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