73: How To Breathe

True Life

How to breathe. Isn’t that odd. I, like you, figured I knew how. For 50 years I’ve been breathing air in and continuing to live. I was a pro cyclist and seemed to breathe pretty proficiently.

You’ll learn much in this show and even the simple awareness of correct breathing will benefit you tremendously.
