That's amazing! I'm glad you had that positive experience with it! It's becoming clearer that humans are like an antenna for a higher consciousness and our intention can make that signal stronger or weaker. Our breath is what ties us to that consciousness. I think when we breathe deliberately we really are forging a closer connecting with that. Yes! It's a total Catch-22...we shrug these things off as a waste of time in the precise moments we need them the most. Even after 30+ years of doing this the amnesia sets in sometimes. I can't think of any other thing in my life that is as difficult to remember the effectiveness of. It's almost as if there's a genetic barrier inside of us that wants to make us forget conscious breathing, meditation, and mindfulness.
