Effect on Emotions

• I try to listen to the mind as if it's somebody else talking. It's a radio I'm listening to all day, and I think it's helpful to say to yourself, “Do I really have to listen to you?” Because the mind is a radio. I'll be thinking about this interview when I go have dinner later, on my own. I'll be replaying things.
• Often it's just so boring that I'll turn on something else to distract me, just to drown out the noise.

Thoughts on Breathing

• I do pranayama every morning for half an hour, 32 minutes exactly. Every day the sun is radiating five pranas and it changes every 32 minutes so if you do a fixed practice of pranayama for 32 minutes you'll be guaranteed to get the pranas evenly.
• So I do that with a vipassana meditation and the Buddhist techniques I did before the gladdening.
• I can hear people  breathing and they just don't know how to breathe. You can hear them doing stress breaths and they are virtually suffocating themselves. The breath is brainwaves.

Bullying Story

• When I went to school I had moments of being bullied and also being the bully. When I think back there were times when I picked on people. I think it was an attention thing.
• Mindfulness is very useful because if you don't give people, the bully, the attention they want, they are not going to keep coming back. I found if I didn't engage with them, then it wasn't a very satisfying experience for the bully.
