![]() The ancients have been onto this for thousands of years. ![]() Honing this air, these zillions of molecules we take in and push out can help us live longer and healthier lives. But this is exactly what neurologists, rhinologists, and pulmonologists working at some of the most prestigious research institutions are now showing there. And the ways in which we take in that air and exhale it is as important as what we eat, how much we exercise, or whatever genes we’ve inherited. We each inhale and exhale some thirty pounds of these molecules every day-far more than we eat or drink. As you breathe in, I’d like you to consider that the air now passing down your throat into your lungs and bloodstream contains more molecules of air than all the grains of sand on all the world’s beaches. ![]() Nestor expounds on conventional wisdom and years of research to draw new, revolutionary conclusions about the healing power of breath.įollowing is an excerpt from Breath, reposted with permission.

I enjoyed the part with Devin in the correctional institute. I don’t know… I am still a little frustrated about it. Maybe it was the audio version but Devin just was not engaged in what she had done, even as she began to remember she still did not seem to connect that the baby was a human life…. The fact that Devin refers to the baby throughout the whole book as “it”…. I know that the power of the mind can be strong, but the physical changes to her body…Īnd if that is worth arguing about by those who loved the book, and feel that it is possible to put yourself into such a state of denial…. I could not believe that a girl like Devin, described as a straight “A” student, obviously intelligent, and strong-minded – had no idea she was pregnant. As well written as this book was, it didn’t hold true for me. I know many people loved this book, but I have to say I was not one of them. a teen so distraught, she does not even realize for most of the book that the baby is hers. I listened to this audio because I had heard raves about the book. ![]() ![]() Archibald is Logan‘s best friend and the best man.
