I used to be hair-trigger because of my sensitivity. When I am upset, I know there's a breakthrough or something for me on the other side. Thoughts on Breathing My current spouse taught me to drop my abdomen because my umbilical cord was too short, so I had a physical issue with breathing. I learned how to release it so now I can oxygenate my entire body by pulling in breath from here, from here, from the top to the bottom. It's kind of an energetic thing. I can hold my breath for a very long time. Breathing is a tool and if we become mindful, if we can expand with the breath, it's awesome.

My parents house was messy, kids weren't allowed to visit. I was ridiculed and not invited to parties, or they planned parties and changed the date so I would show up a week later. Cruelty like that. People would knock my books out of my arms at school, stamp on my pens, called me names. That all stopped when I started the martial arts. But what the damage had done, did not stop because I felt different, which I was. I was not standard issue. I loved books and I loved nature. I would be much rather be sitting on a roof with the ladder pulled up, reading, or on the tree across the street where no one could get me. I didn't know how to handle bullying. What allowed me to move into a space of self-confidence, was the martial arts. It was such a serendipity.
