Do you have plans to release a physical DVD/Blu-ray copy? Many of us would be willing to pay a little bit extra to have it on our shelves.

"We're making it safe for people," Corry said. "There are a lot of people who, for one reason or another, can't smoke at home." People might not want to smoke near children, he said. They might have a disapproving spouse. They might live in a rental home where it's prohibited.

I can't remember what I heard for breakfast!

I used to experience this. The main thing you need to remember is that a much deeper part of your brain is controlling that response. You cannot 'forget' how to breathe, and even though I still occasionally have panic attacks from the thought, it's incredibly infrequent. Probably only a few panic attacks per year. When my anxiety first set in, that type of thought bothered me quiet often--almost every day. But now it has very little power, mostly because of the meditation I've done.

Another thing to remember is that the loss of CO2 from hyperventilating actually produces a feeling of panic, as far as I know. So by hyperventilating, you produce panic. And you can stop panic by breathing slowly.

In other words, "practicing" slow breathing through meditation is an amazing way to put your body into a calm state of mind. It allows you to actually regain a sense of calm during real scary events. When I went back to college in my late 20s, for example, meditative breathing allowed me to take tests with minimal anxiety and a clear mind. With more practice it happens more automatically. The main thing I focus on in tense situations is slowly exhaling. I like to think of the slow exhale as where calmness "lives", so to speak.
