    This was exhilarating. I had forgotten how to breathe and disconnect from the world for a few minutes.

  18. Philomena May 23, 2019 at 7:46 am

    It’s a reminder where Life began- w/ a breath of God. Thanks for reminding me to concentrate First things first -on breathing.

  26. Perry Gee May 23, 2019 at 7:03 am

    Thank you so much, starting my day was very hectic today, lots of chores prior to leaving my house for work. A very loud and powerful storming raging outside to add to the stress. The practice helped me re-set and ease into my day.

  27. Tracy May 23, 2019 at 6:59 am

    Thank You Mark for the guidance practice.

  31. Debra Messer May 23, 2019 at 6:46 am

    Agree . . . this was simple, easy, and very calming. This would be a great opening practice in a secular setting . . .like a hospital or with nurses. Thanks!

  41. Lyndy May 23, 2019 at 5:35 am

    I love the idea that getting distracted is the practice. Just seeing that, trying to not see it as failure and returning to the breath. You can’t hear that enough

  42. Ingrid May 23, 2019 at 5:10 am

    Wonderful. Thank you!

  43. Debbie May 23, 2019 at 5:06 am
