Effect on Emotions

• They made me realize my emotions and stand still about them.

Thoughts on Breathing

• I think anyone who walks through a forest and took a couple of deep breaths can’t deny that they felt amazing. I think breathing is very underrated actually because we do it all the time. Taking some deep breaths feels amazing because oxygen is how we stay alive.

Advice for Newbie

I would say go and buy the book, The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle because it helped me so much. It gave me a clear introduction to what mindfulness is.
