Effect on Emotions

Mindfulness allows you to go from being reactionary to responding and there's a very big difference between the two. Mindfulness allows you to stay present, not react, come from the right place and not be triggered by past events that have nothing to do with the moment that you're currently in.

Thoughts on Breathing

Breathing is a connectedness. It helps us to realize our thoughts that impact our breathing, when we're under stress. [Our breathing becomes] very shallow and rapid. When we control our breathing we control our body; we control our thoughts. It's a connectedness that we're all one, we're all whole, we are connected to the rest of the world in that same way. It's kind of a centering and a grounding practice that when things get a little bit lucy-goosy, focus on the breath, come back into your being and then start again.
