James Nestor

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you're not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

Get High Now is an illustrated, mind-blowing magic carpet ride of more than 175 ways to alter human perception and consciousnesswithout drugs or alcohol. Culled from science, physiology, spiritual practices, and the audio visual arts, these "all natural" highs playfully and safely explore the mind-body connection to entertaining and illuminating effect. Accessible and well-researched, each entry introduces concepts such as lucid dreaming, optical and auditory illusions, controlled breathing, meditation, time compression, and physical and mental exercises, explaining the ways in which they affect our minds and bodies and how to do them. Readers follow the author and his "HighLab" testing team through mind-bending and sometimes hilarious investigations, such as how to lull the mind into hallucinatory states with audio loops; why multiple bee stings lead to euphoric states; what cheeses to eat to induce psychedelic lucid dreams; how to control your breathing to create an out-of-body experience; and many more. Including solo, tandem, and group highs, Get High Now features hundreds of ways to calm or stimulate the senses and open new windows to experiencing the world.

L'arte di respirare. La nuova scienza per rieducare un gesto naturale

Atmen heißt Leben - James Nestor bringt uns mit seinem Buch die verlorene Kunst des guten Atmens wieder näher Die Atmung ist die einzige Körperfunktion, die der Mensch wirklich kontrollieren kann, bei der aber am meisten schief geht. Unsere Atmung kann uns helfen abzunehmen, unseren allgemeinen Gesundheitszustand positiv beeinflussen und sogar unser Leben verlängern. Wer richtig atmet, ist selbstbewusster und kann sich besser fokussieren. James Nestors Leben gestaltete sich einst ziemlich chaotisch: Ihm ging es gesundheitlich schlecht, er war gestresst, lebte in einem baufälligen Haus und erholte sich von seiner dritten Lungenentzündung. Das alles änderte sich schlagartig, nachdem er einen Kurs für Sudarshan-Kriya-Atmung besuchte. Wie viele andere Menschen machte sich Nestor bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt wenig Gedanken über diesen alltäglichen, aber lebensspendenden Akt. Schon nach der ersten Sitzung fühlte er sich jedoch wesentlich besser. Indem er sich einfach nur auf eine langsame Sauerstoffzufuhr durch die Nase konzentrierte, schlief er in der folgenden Nacht so gut wie schon lange nicht mehr. Atmen Sie einmal tief durch und lassen Sie sich anschließend von Autor James Nestor in seinem Buch "Breath – Atem" zeigen, wie es richtig geht. Zehn Jahre hat James Nestor akribische Nachforschungen betrieben, Experteninterviews auf der ganzen Welt geführt, verschiedene Atemtechniken und die Auswirkung von Atembeschwerden am eigenen Körper getestet. Er bringt uns das Wissen von Schwimmtrainern ebenso nahe wie das von indischen Mystikern und strengen russischen Kardiologen, um zu zeigen, was die Atmung in unserem Körper auslösen kann. "Breath – Atem: Neues Wissen über die vergessene Kunst des Atems" ist eine aufschlussreiche Odyssee durch die spannende und gelegentlich etwas seltsam anmutende Welt des Atmens. "Rund 10 000 Atemzüge braucht es, sein Buch durchzulesen, sagt James Nestor. Die Mühe lohnt – nicht nur wegen der erstaunlichen Fakten und Geschichten zu Atmen und Gesundheit. Dazu ist das Buch auch ein Selbstversuch und gerade deshalb so überzeugend." ― P.M.

"Si respiras, necesitas leer este libro." Wallace Nichols "Un libro transformador que va a cambiar completamente la manera en la que pensamos en nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente." Joshua Foer ¿Sabías que de las 5.400 especies de mamíferos somos la única que tiene los dientes torcidos? Hace 150 años el ser humano dejó de masticar, y con ello no solo se inició un proceso de deformación de nuestras mandíbulas, sino que empezamos a respirar por la boca en lugar de por la nariz. En este apasionante libro, que ya ha seducido a millones de lectores en todo el mundo, descubriremos que los humanos llevamos cerca de dos siglos involucionando y las graves consecuencias que ello tiene en nuestra salud física y mental. Aprenderemos cómo podemos revertir esta situación y acabar para siempre con los problemas de sueño, ronquidos y dolor de espalda, reducir el estrés, disfrutar más del sexo y prevenir el envejecimiento. No importa lo que comas ni cuánto ejercicio hagas; da igual que seas joven, fuerte e inteligente. Tu salud depende esencialmente de la manera en que respiras. Y lo estás haciendo mal.

Doğru şekilde nefes almayı biliyor musunuz? Nefes, sağlıklı bir yaşam sürdürmenin önemli yapıtaşlarından biri ve günde yaklaşık yirmi beş bin kez nefes alıp veriyoruz. Ancak modern dünyada çoğumuzun doğru nefes alıp verme becerisi zayıflamış durumda. Bu durum, hem hayat kalitemizi düşürüyor hem de başka birçok rahatsızlığa davetiye çıkarıyor. James Nestor, nefesle ilgili problemlerin nasıl üstesinden gelinebileceğini öğrenmek için dünyayı dolaşarak cevapları tarihte, yeraltı mezarlıklarında, göğüs hastalıkları birimlerinde, ortodonti kliniklerinde ve nefes pratiğiyle ilgili eski metinlerde arıyor; nefes alıp verme şeklimizi değiştirmenin atletik performansı artırabileceğini ya da horlamaya, astıma ve otoimmün hastalıklara iyi gelebileceğini gösteren araştırmaları tarıyor. Binlerce yıllık tıbbi metinlerle göğüs hastalıkları, psikoloji ve biyokimya alanlarında yapılmış son araştırmaları bir araya getiren Nefes’i okuduktan sonra bir daha asla eskisi gibi nefes almayacaksınız. “Bu kitabı okuyunca nefes alma şeklinizi değiştirmek isteyeceksiniz.” Evening Standard

The Role of Fiction

Em uma narrativa dinâmica e divertida, o jornalista James Nestor mostra como respirar corretamente pode transformar nossa saúde física e mental Não há nada mais essencial para a nossa saúde e bem-estar do que a respiração. Apesar disso, a espécie humana parece ter desaprendido a respirar corretamente, e os maus hábitos nos trouxeram graves problemas. Ao visitar escavações de antigas catacumbas, instalações soviéticas secretas, corais em Nova Jersey e ruas poluídas de São Paulo, o jornalista James Nestor procurou descobrir o que deu errado e o que é possível fazer para corrigir isso. O autor entrevistou homens e mulheres que estudam a ciência esquecida de antigas práticas de respiração e testou crenças há muito enraizadas sobre como respiramos. O que ele descobriu foi que basta um pequeno ajuste na forma de inspirar e expirar para melhorar o desempenho de um atleta, rejuvenescer nossos órgãos, deter o ronco, a asma e doenças autoimunes e até endireitar colunas com escoliose. Valendo-se de textos médicos milenares e dos estudos científicos mais recentes nas áreas de pneumologia, psicologia, bioquímica e fisiologia humana, James Nestor promete transformar tudo que o leitor acreditava saber sobre nossa função biológica mais básica.
