Effect on Emotions
“I think through a lot of meditation in 2010, I started feeling more open and a lot less anxious and worried.”
“It has given me space if I'm having emotions where I can breathe and feel it more deeply.”
Thoughts on Breathing
“It's a huge part.”
“If we can use the breath to breathe more deeply and bring ourselves into a calm state, we can get more global awareness over whatever situation we're in.”

Bullying Story
“My son is a little bit smaller for his age at 6 and he's on the last soccer practice of the year. He was wanting to withdraw from the team because the bigger guys are telling him he was 4. We were able to talk about what's going on there. He doesn't have to be as affected by some of these things.”
“I think we really had a good dialogue and he became more confident to say NO if that situation came up again.”
