James Nestor

No, that's cool.

The mountains of the Himalayas go on?

Yeah, yeah.

Since he was four years old, he was trained to be a monk.

And they brought him into this place called the Manager Clinic.

And a Navy physicist tested to see what he could do, things that are supposed to be impossible.

And he was able to flutter his heart rate on command at 300 beats per minute on command.

What's our regular heart rate?

If you're healthy, 50.

And he did 300?

Mine's probably 70, 60, 70.

300 beats was supposed to be impossible.

Shit, he's a damn Valentine's Day at that point.

He was able to change the temperature on the palm of his hand 11 degrees from one side to the other.

One side was all flush and red and the other was like gray and purple.

And in another test, and this was reported in the New York Times, he was able to enter states of deep sleep while still being conscious and repeating everything that happened in the room around him.

All of this is supposed to be impossible.

He proved it, and it also establishes credence to all these other stories of these ancient monks doing this stuff.

And he said the foundation of all of this was breathing.

You have to start with that.
