Understanding the power of Breath. We discuss James’s experience in his clinical trial of mouth breathing for ten days and the findings that followed, the problems with long-term mouth breathing, and the powerful benefits of nasal breathing. We also discuss the development of the mouth, oral posture, and how it can be a hindrance to efficient breathing. As well as, how we can correct breathing habits, improving sleep with mouth tape, breathwork techniques and breathing for your parasympathetic.
