โ€œI keep wandering off to think about last night's events, or my next coaching session, even what words I'll write in this blog. We switch back to our breath and are asked to imagine breathing into our legs. Surprisingly, I find this easier to experience, imagining my breath flowing like water into my legs, which then become two sausage-shaped balloons. As I breathe in, my chest rises, my legs fill with air and I am pulled upwards. My whole body follows a slightly curving trajectory, as I'm being pulled up from the hips, then, as I release my breath, I'm pulled back down and I have a sensation of the yoga mat wrapping around me.โ€

โ€œGreat book. I had my 1st experience yesterday. I am going through a heartbreaking breakup and am literally at the point where I have to scurry off to the pantry and try to hide my ugly crying from my kids. It's a mess. Anyways, yesterday I was having another crying episode while making dinner and I reached down into the bread drawer and NOTICED the french loaf, and I initially admired it, and then I needed to feel it, and I did. And I acknowledged this french loaf just sitting in this bread drawer. I squeezed it gently. I acknowledged the way it felt. Every aspect of that process. It brought me straight back to my present moment and I forgot about all of the B.S. going on in my life.โ€
