Coming to Grips with Research

I've been viewing a lot of scientific research lately, and I love that it's there. At the same time, it creates an annoying implication that the practices that have been used for generations are suspect until research validates them. 

It's a tension I'm struggling with in my own teaching, and I share my own musings about the state of the art.

I mention two authors:

James Nestor. His book Breath is about breathing techniques of yogis as well as some contemporary breath researchers.

Carlo Rovelli. His work is looking for a unified theory of everything and he discusses time as being not a reality in any fundamental way.

Namaste.
