Effect on Emotions

• Mindfulness
  allows you to go from being reactionary to responding and there's a
  very big difference between the two. Mindfulness allows you to stay
  present, not react, come from the right place and not be triggered by
  past events that have nothing to do with the moment that you're
  currently in.

Thoughts on Breathing

• Breathing
  is a connectedness. It helps us to realize our thoughts that impact our
  breathing, when we're under stress. [Our breathing becomes] very
  shallow and rapid. When we control our breathing we control our body; we
  control our thoughts. It's a connectedness that we're all one, we're
  all whole, we are connected to the rest of the world in that same way.
  It's kind of a centering and a grounding practice that when things get a
  little bit lucy-goosy, focus on the breath, come back into your being
  and then start again.
