In this episode, Jesse and I discuss what it means to develop a well-functioning relationship with your body through breath. We explore the balance between our conscious and unconscious self, myths about breathwork, and how to better handle stressors in our lives. We also discuss various philosophical concepts that relate to a mind-body dualistic perspective.
