BEST MOMENTS 
"Hypnosis is just a state of highly focused attention." 
"You can learn to deal with the things you're afraid of, the things that make you anxious." 
"Breathing is really interesting because it's the one physical function that is right at the edge between consciousness and unconsciousness." 
"We think that particularly at the beginning as you're getting used to it and doing it, it's good to pick at least once but hopefully maybe three times during the day."
