Only by bringing your breathing volume to normal levels can you deal with the physiological aspects of stress and anxiety.

Have trust in life and life will look after you. Your job is to let life live through you. You enable this when you merge with your inner body or follow your breath.

Animals and nature do not create stories about themselves. A dog with three legs gets on with life. A fat horse is not too bothered either. An ugly crow has no problem waking up on a Monday morning. They live according to their true nature, which is absent of thought.

True spirituality is the degree to which you are out of thought and connected with life. The kingdom of heaven is within.

A mind that is being observed is an unsuitable environment for anxiety and depression to take root. Both require a lack of awareness as a suitable breeding ground.

Ensure that you relax your tummy and chest. Keep your chest still as you breathe!

If you find it difficult to still the mind by applying one of the practices, then apply two at the same time. While reducing your breathing, place attention on your inner body.

Remember that when you reduce your breathing, you are improving blood flow and oxygenation of the brain.

You will be very surprised to see how situations sort themselves out when you are present with time. You will know what to do and can act without looking through thought.
