• Mindfulness has kept my emotions in check.
• I grew up a very angry person with a lot of volatile tendencies but once I became a Christian and I really took scripture seriously and welcomed the Holy Spirit and empowered me to live right, everything changed.

• Breathing has become [more important]. I realize with my work schedule and all the craziness, sometimes I'm working at my desk and I think, am I really breathing. Then I pause and take a deep breath and then I realize I wasn't breathing. After that, the intensity of my breathing increases.
• I've started running and when I'm running I pay more attention to my breathing.

• I went to boarding school. The older students were in charge of punishing students who were defiant and a lot of them took advantage of that to bully people.
• Once when it was time for bed after I used the washroom, one the of the older students saw me and decided to punish me. He made me sleep on the wood floor under his bed. Mindfulness then for me was to just ignore him and at that point not respond.

• Mindfulness makes my emotions possible to live with. My emotions are big. I'm an emotional type. My emotions hold a lot of charge and a lot of intelligence.
• Without mindfulness, my emotions feel like a crazy dragon ready to consume me. And with mindfulness I can ride that dragon and I can be the steward of that dragon and allow that dragon to take me where I need to go.

• Breathing is just the first touchstone. It's everything, you know, the breath is everything.
• I've done a lot of breath work, especially when I was living at Harbin Hot Springs and helping to lead breath work events there. I became so much more aware of my breath and even now, as you mentioned my breath, I can feel like my breath is a little bit high because I'm eager, you know.
• So it reminds me to just sort of let my belly soften and let my whole body soften and arrive even more, even in the midst of my eagerness to be with you.

• What comes to mind for me is that I do work with a lot of parents of very intuitive kids and I call them dragon kids because sometimes these kids have so much energy in their bodies that they might get labeled as having some condition, whether it's ADHD or autism.
• I'm not a doctor so I can't say what those things are and who's what and blah, blah blah. But I do notice that there are a movement of kids now who have so much much energy in their little tiny bodies, you know, like there's so such big spirits.
• And when I work with the parents of those kids and occasionally with the kids directly, which is super fun too, a lot of what we do is to help those kids become more mindful. And we want them to have resources to become centered and to relax into their own invisible team.
• A lot of those kids are actually very aware that they have guardian angels or imaginary friends or some force that they can listen to you when they're quiet in here.
• Getting them back in touch with that, in my mind, is what can also help them in instances where they're being bullied for being big or for being out of control or whatever.
• That invisible team is right there for them and they have a different reference point than just these kids were holding themselves as the authorities on the playground, which of course they're not.
• They're just more kids looking for their own power, looking to hold power in a way that can feel safe to them. And so mindfulness, in addition to the intuitive gifts, acknowledging and welcoming intuitive gifts, I feel like be a huge benefit to especially the sensitive empathic supercharged dragon kids.

• My mother. She taught me when something was over it was time to move on. She taught me not to hang on to stuff.

• I don't hold a lot of emotions because of it. (Mindfulness). I don't hold a lot of pain, or being upset, or being mad. I pretty much live my live without any of those strong emotions. I don't dislike anybody. I had somebody embezzle $385,000. from me a few years ago and I don't hold any animosity to them.

• I'm not into breathing and don't know much about it. I sure it's great. Everybody that I heard talk about it told me it does wonders. Maybe I need to investigate it. At the moment I don't do any kind of breathing or meditation or anything like that. I just enjoy life.

I only do things 80% of the way, and then I'm ready to go on to something else. I don't sit there and dwell on getting it to 100%. I really feel like 80% is good enough and all you have to be is good enough. You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be good enough. While that other person's working on that last 20%, I've done two 80's and I'm half way through with my third 80. The other 20 can happen over time. These are the refinements.

• It definitely makes me much more even keeled. Since I started meditating I would say that I am much better able to handle the ups and down's of life much more quickly and have a better response to them.

• I am one of those people who probably holds my breath and gets way too intense in the moment at times. I think for me the number one thing is when I catch myself holding my breath and being so over the top intense, just taking a deep breath and just slowing down and decompressing. Also walking away from things for a minute so that I can gain some perspective, then revisiting them is the way I have to handle that.

• I would say get started on doing what comes naturally to you. If you like to walk outside, go for a walk and instead of listening to the radio or listening to music just say for ten minutes I am going to get still and present and just count my blessings. Find something that is a match for your personality for what's most comfortable for you. Definitely give yourself an opportunity to take a couple minutes for reflection everyday in a way that feels right for you that incorporates in your life. It will absolutely have an affect on not only your success but also your happiness.
