I’ve read this book several times. It has changed my life! I wish for everyone to read it and breathe better.

When we are stressed we breathe shallowly. Why? It is the opposite of what the body needs. My theory: the body says “Pay attention to your breath”. That is meditation. Meditation reduces stress and....increases energy, chi. Increased chi leads to increased wellness and understanding. In other words spiritual growth.

I love it. I plan to buy this book today. The yogic science of breathing has been around for thousands of years. It works. Believe it. Just try taking 5 deep cleansing breaths for relaxation. I struggle with sinus problems so this is near and dear to my heart. Thank you

After I had a stroke, this breathing was extremely helpful for anxiety.

In through the nose, out through the mouth is called what ? Also nose breathing OR mouthbreathing?

[bobbykhan]

someone said 3, another piece I read or saw indicated 4, now 5?! how many seconds do we really need here?

[denniperez]

There no way to measure 5.5 seconds. I can measure 5 seconds but how do you measure the .5 after the five seconds? Nestor didn’t give us the best technique to breathe when talking, I guess that’s why I am going to have to get that book. Thanks

Pilates, Yoga, and Transformational Breathing all excellent ways to to discover and improve breathing with movement. Massage, NKT and myofascial work to help you release the diaphragm to improve the breath., as well as other accessory breathing muscles.
