Argh!<BR/><BR/>The gist of it was:<BR/><BR/>I don't know how hearing a clicking valve would make me feel, but maybe you could actually meditate on that sound. Realizing that it's much like your breath - a life-giving flow, an essential in-and-out - and really listening to it might make it less scary.<BR/><BR/>Easy for me to say, I know...Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36205028.post-1174428443684498142007-03-20T16:07:00.000-07:002007-03-20T16:07:00.000-07:00Breathing prperly is so important and you captured...Breathing prperly is so important and you captured that beautifully.Tammy Brierlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673290512175050093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36205028.post-1174427702142259232007-03-20T15:55:00.000-07:002007-03-20T15:55:00.000-07:00Yes, these are very relaxing!Yes, these are very relaxing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36205028.post-1174424650362221422007-03-20T15:04:00.000-07:002007-03-20T15:04:00.000-07:00I felt so relaxed after reading these.

Meditation actually scares me because I can't stop my mind from racing through all of the problems and worries that I have, it made me feel worse as opposed to better. Maybe I should pick it up again...? <BR/><BR/>I'm glad your heart is still ticking, too :) Maybe it just needed a tune up.Shrighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785284226793409493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36205028.post-1174410128803394282007-03-20T11:02:00.000-07:002007-03-20T11:02:00.000-07:00This really relaxed my mind, thanks for sharing I ...This really relaxed my mind, thanks for sharing I enjoyed the read!Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088824498525909843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36205028.post-1174409026380650642007-03-20T10:43:00.000-07:002007-03-20T10:43:00.000-07:00I'm so glad I read this today - I have very shallo...I'm so glad I read this today - I have very shallow breathing and know it's bad for me.

I guess we all need to slow down and recognise our breathing and that we are alive, when most of us run around with barely time to catch our breathe.Kamsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039627235813416300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36205028.post-1174382562344489692007-03-20T03:22:00.000-07:002007-03-20T03:22:00.000-07:00Thank you for dropping by Countrysketches.

I am in my thirties now, and still hold that technique as a part of me- it's become an unconscious thing. <BR/><BR/>One thing that's fun is to lay my head on my dog and try to match my breathing to hers- she always breathes faster than I do, but she breathes with her tummy too. A lot of people breathe wrong, perhaps it's just a stress thing <BR/><BR/><BR/>Good post. I like-a-the-poem-a.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
