Breath

by James Nestor

“Breath” moves between science, ancient practice, and the emotional shock of realizing modern breathing habits may be harming health. This playlist mirrors that arc—starting with steady, airway-like instrumentals that create a calm focus, then shifting into lyrical tracks about attention, recovery, control, and relearning how to feel air in and out.
