Effect on Emotions

• It has helped me to deal with them far better. It's helped me to sit, get quiet, look at them, accept them and let them happen. It's amazing how quickly they dissipate.

Thoughts on Breathing

• It's an essential part of mindfulness. If we didn't breathe we'd drop dead. I don't do any complicated breathing excercises. When I notice I'm getting panicy or angry, I stop and check my breathing.

Advice for Newbie

Go to The www.EvolvingWisdom.com websites. I would also say, always question. Have enough respect for yourself not to be totally impressed by someone who appears to be a guru. Listen to your intuition.
