Book a week: week 24, Breath

 It is just 5.30 in the morning. I am washing the cups after morning coffee. The pink rubber glove adorned hand feeling the warmth of the water. I am aware of my breathing too. Yes, breathing through the nose.



Last week I was reading the book "Breath : The New Science of a Lost Art" by James Nester. 

The book is fascinating to read. Nester tells the story struggling to breath to becoming an expert in the science of breathing. 

His writing style makes us follow the page after page of information. With so many experiments, we learn how breath can affect our body. 

While, we can see how breathing techniques improved Nester's life, we will doubt about its power to cure Cancer and Schizofrenia.

If you are just interested in the techniques alone, skip to the last part of the book and read that one alone. 

If it is breathing though both nostrils, or through one, or  holding it, breathing is an important part of our life. We do it all the time, till we take the last one.

Breathe, fill your lungs!

Happy reading!
