Nose breathing

[JustBe]

James Nestor’s book called ‘Breath’ has inspired me to check into my breathing throughout my daily activities. I’ve been a mouth breather forever. So currently practising nose breathing with almost all activities. Today I did a hill climb and walk checked into how I’m breathing. Firstly I went into auto mode of mouth breathing, so I switched and began to notice the sensations in my nasal and facial area, as well as my body’s ability and feeling. On the steepest part of the hill I noticed I felt like I couldn’t get a big enough intake so I stopped a few times and took a big breath in through my mouth. I only did this a few times, always coming back to the nose. I am noticing my nose is irritated, itchy and watery, I suspect all part of ‘using’ my nasal passages for what they are designed for.

It will be an interesting process watching the changes in my fitness and my whole body.

Are you incorporating any MEUING? (I probably spelled it wrong) it's a kind of tongue exercise to reshape the face and teeth and nose it was created by a dentist and it's quite dramatic what it can do I've literally seen before and afters and it looks like people have gotten nose and cheekbone jobs done for real or had their lower jaw extended if they had an underbite it's crazy is all you're doing basically is chewing some hard gum and pressing on the roof of your mouth a certain way multiple times a day but it has phenomenal improvements in your ability to breathe through your nose
