James Nestor, good to see you today, brother.

Thanks for having me.

You bet.

You have a new, a revised edition of your New York Times bestseller, Breath, the new science of a lost art.

That's it.

And you believe that how we breathe can change every aspect of our lives.

yeah, I guess it's something that we just don't think about very often.

It's odd because it's happening all the time, but it's not on the front of our brains.

Well, yeah, you don't even think about that, how crucial it is, how crucial of a supplement it is to every moment of our lives.

I know you have so many amazing practices that you've taught people and I want to learn some of those.

Take me a little bit through the history of breathing.

Like what were some of the first cultures that really focused on breath work?

Yeah, that it seems like it should be something that should be taught in our schools then, that it should be just as basic as learning a spell or to read.

It's like, because that's like your lungs reading the universe.

It's like your body reading the universe moment to moment.

Yeah.
