“Something can still be valid even without their validation.” — Jerome Shaw
Can humans live without food? What is breatharianism, and how do personal experiences influence what we believe about health, spirituality, and the human body?
Author, seeker, and Qigong teacher Jerome Shaw joins Dani on Earth Xperiences to explore breatharianism, pranic living, extended fasting, veganism, consciousness, and the experiences that have shaped his understanding of life.
Jerome shares how the end of a ten year relationship led him toward emotional healing, Buddhist meditation, and eventually a community exploring alternative forms of nourishment. He describes living on liquids for two and a half years, his experiences with prolonged fasting, and how these practices influenced his beliefs about energy, the human body, and spirituality.
The conversation also explores his transition to raw veganism, the documentaries that changed his perspective on animal welfare, and his journey from a Christian upbringing toward a broader understanding of God and spiritual connection.
Jerome discusses Qigong, lucid dreaming, astral projection, relationships, and the importance he places on personal experience. During the Earth Xperiences game, he responds to unfamiliar perspectives and questions about evidence, spiritual experiences, identity, love, and the things we become accustomed to depending on.
- When personal experience and scientific evidence seem to contradict each other, how should we determine what is true?
- Can a spiritual experience be meaningful even if our explanation of it is incorrect?
- What might we discover about ourselves when we remove something familiar from our lives?

The health and spiritual claims discussed in this episode reflect the guest’s personal experiences and beliefs. Breatharian claims that air can replace food or water are unsupported by scientific evidence, and prolonged fasting, particularly without water, can be dangerous.
