Tim Paige has a great hobby. He’s a comic book enthusiast and he loves to help people move into the world of comic books who are unsure where to start. Maybe you’ve seen a movie or a show relating to a comic book series and you’d like to tune into the story in a more in-depth way. There is almost a century’s worth of stories out there and this might turn out to be a newly discovered love. Check out Tim’s podcast called Getting Into Comics. I see Tim as a truly mindful guy and we’ll be talking about the interesting relationship between Mindfulness and Comics.

Most Influential Person

• My Dad. He’s a great example of somebody that’s very mindful. He doesn’t meditate or do thoughtfulness activites; he’s just with you anytime you are with him. I don’t know if I’ve ever known anybody that’s like that so naturally. I know a lot of people who have worked really hard to get there, but he is just like that.

Effect on Emotions

•   When I’m able to accomplish some degree of mindfulness, it just helps to ease any anxiety. Then I can just say what I’m doing right now, this is what’s important right now. The other things will be important later.

Thoughts on Breathing

• Breathing isn’t really part of my mindfulness practice at this point. It’s funny, I have a degree in massage therapy, and one of the things we learned is diaphragmatic breathing and abdominal breathing. We focused on a lot of these things as opposed to apical breathing (chest breathing). I learned all of it but I never really used it to focus, I just used it to ease tension during a massage session.
