- My Tai Chi, qiqong and meditation teacher, Bruce Frantzis.
- It's been instrumental in me not ending up in jail and me not ending up dead or very, very miserable. I struggled with depression a lot when I was young and the more I got into these mindful practices the more that took me out, further away from that.
- It's huge. It's one of the pillars that we build everything we do on. The particular tradition that I teach is called Taoist Longevity Breathing and the main focus of that is to be completely present with your breath and then how you can maintain that presence and just deepen not only the length of your breath, but all the different qualities of depth, smoothness. You just remove any and all gaps that relate back to your consciousness through that.
Test several methods. Don't just fall in love with your very first method. Use all the methods and really test them. Be your own laboratory. Find what really works for you and that can be a practice in it's own self where you decide that you pick four different practices that you want to work with and you take a week or a month and then you work through it, regardless of any kind of resistance you have and that will reflect what's going on inside of you and help you understand why you resist that particular practice.
