0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. So allow me to present a very simple and straightforward idea. Breathe how you want to feel. So what do I mean by that? Well, maybe you're anxious and you
0:25.7	want to feel more relaxed. Well, there's a breathing technique that helps you transition from feeling
0:32.0	stressed to feeling calm. Perhaps you've got brain fog and you want to feel more alert in order to learn
0:39.3	something new. Well, there's a technique for that too. Maybe you're restless, but you desperately want to
0:45.7	go to sleep. I can speak to that. Well, fortunately, there are specific breathing exercises that
0:52.2	induce groggyness. Perhaps you're exhausted, but you still want to
0:57.8	have a vigorous workout. Well, you can leverage the breath to upgrade your energy level too.
1:05.7	So on the show today, I welcome Matteo Pistono. Mateo is a writer, meditation teacher, and conscious breathing guide.
1:14.8	His book, Breathe How You Want to Feel, provides a how-to manual for using your breath to hack your nervous system.
1:25.0	So we inhale and exhale approximately 25,000 times per day. This essential
1:31.4	activity is almost always happening below the crust of consciousness. So in our conversation,
1:40.1	Matteo unpacks what happens when we make this unconscious activity conscious.
1:47.0	He outlines specific breathing techniques that induce specific subjective states of being.
1:55.0	Through consciously using different breathing patterns, force, and holds, we can optimize our ability to learn,
2:03.9	to exercise, to sleep, and to emotionally regulate. So Matteo and I probe various areas,
2:12.1	including awareness building, understanding the dials of our nervous system, the importance of nasal breathing,
2:20.2	how breath holds even when very short can be a superpower, and how to integrate optimal breathing
2:27.3	throughout our everyday life, especially when we're sleeping. So this was a fantastic conversation
2:34.0	full of actionable information that you
2:36.9	can immediately leverage for optimal health. But before we dive in, we are so grateful to those of you
2:44.1	who write us reviews on Apple Podcasts that we've created an offer just for you. 30 days of free commune membership.
2:53.5	That's right.
