Description

Today, we're exploring the science of breath — ancient practices meeting modern neuroscience. My guest is Amy Kartar, a neuroscientist and breathwork researcher who's uncovering how high-ventilation breathwork, paired with music, can induce profound altered states of consciousness — the kind once only associated with psychedelics, but completely drug-free.

We'll talk about how this practice changes the brain, why it could help people process emotional pain, and how centuries-old spiritual traditions are finally being validated by modern science. Get ready to discover the mind's incredible potential — one breath at a time.
