Why Breath is so Significant
I recently finished listening to Breath by James Nestor, and I’m blown away!
This audiobook is more than just a listen; it’s an immersive exploration of the science, culture, and profound impact of breathing on our health. This was the first book I read on this topic as part of my breathwork training. It helped me understand how important breathing is for overall well-being.
Nestor’s narration adds a personal touch that draws you into his discoveries. His deep passion for the subject, coupled with engaging storytelling, makes complex science feel accessible. I couldn’t stop listening from the very start until the end. Nester’s insights make you question your own breathing habits. His insights inspired me to approach breathwork with a newfound curiosity and commitment.
Exploring the Science
I love learning about the science behind what appears magical. James Nestor dives deeply into the history and science of breathing. He explores ancient breathing techniques and examines how modern lifestyles affect our respiratory health. It inspired me to think about what my ancient Celtic ancestors may have included in their rituals.
His in-depth research also sheds light on how “correct” breathing can ease issues like:
- stress,
- sleep apnea,
- and even certain respiratory conditions.
Nestor’s work offers unique insights into health and wellness. But it goes beyond common advice, making this book truly valuable for those interested in the topic.
For example, his exploration of breathing techniques used by ancient cultures highlights how specific breathwork practices promoted healing and mental clarity. Nestor’s stories about his own experiments and experiences are fascinating and show his dedication to understanding this vital function. However, he does touch on some intense topics, like inhumane experiments in historical research, which serve as a reminder of the importance of ethical considerations in science.
