Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
by James Nestor
“Carbon dioxide is the chief hormone of the entire body; it is the only one that is produced by every tissue and that probably acts on every organ. Carbon dioxide is, in fact, a more fundamental component of living matter than is oxygen.”
Of course we all breathe, but do we breathe well? Can we harness the power of our breath for optimal health and longevity, and even induce intense spiritual experiences with its mastery?
James Nestor’s seminal work on the power of breathwork is, well, breathtaking in its depth and detail. Absorbing these pages you will learn that the way in which you breathe can have a huge impact on your health, and it is more than just the unconscious act of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. Optimal and transformative breathing techniques have been practiced by ancient cultures for millenia, their benefits barely being recognised even in fields of modern medicine.
“Breath” is essential for anyone wanting to discover the true potential of their bodies and elevate their state of health and wellbeing to the next level.
