Prior to getting it, it was all over the map and expanding energy all over the place. Now, it's just about energy conservation and nonreactivity. So it's been very positive. Thoughts on Breathing My only thought is, I don't think we get taught enough about how important it is. And that's why we're here. But we forgot. We get distracted, and we take it for granted that we can always have it. I had an anaphylactic shock once, and luckily it was in a medical situation. But when she said you are not breathing, it's incredibly tough. And you recognize at that moment that, oh, look at what I'm taking advantage of or taking for granted.

It was interesting because the first one lasted about three years of awful treatment and accepting it. And I don't know why I accepted it. But I was in this situation for three years, with management that was really awful by any standard. I left that, and I went to do something else. Another project. And I immediately recognized that this was a similar situation. And, because I had started to be more mindful and more aware and listening to myself and just more attentive because of the previous experience. The second experience where bullying and absolute toxicity were present, I retracted and pulled myself out of that situation as fast as I could. But bullying is such an awful thing today. and Related Episodes Your Life IS Meditation; Mark Van Buren Myung Sung: The Korean Art of Living Meditation with Dr. Jenelle Kim Use Meditation to Master Yourself; Ashley Williams Special Offer Are you experiencing anxiety & stress?
