The Conscious Diva

#67 Are You Breathing Wrong? with Matteo Pistono


Listen Later

Upgrade your breathing toolkit! Have you ever considered whether you are a mouth or nose breather? I know I didn't.

Joining me is my friend, breathwork guide, and meditation teacher Matteo Pistono. Matteo is the author of several books on meditation and spirituality. In his latest book, Breathe How You Want to Feel: Your Breathing Tool Kit for Better Health, Restorative Sleep, and Deeper Connection we discuss how "keeping it nasal" literally upgrades your nervous system so you can live your optimal life physically, emotionally, and spiritually.


In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why we aren’t taught how to breathe correctly.
  • Mouth breathing vs nose breathing 
  • Nasal breathing and the vagus nerve 
  • Tips to become a conscious breather. 
  • We also discuss various pranayama practices as well as the Whim Hoff method and Holotropic breathing.
  • And Matteo explains why thinking about our mortality allows us to live fully and die without regrets.

  • I hope you enjoy this episode and don’t forget to write a review and follow me on Instagram @The_Conscious_Diva
