    I tried this for three minutes, to nature-backed piano music. I'm addicted now :) Thank you!
  • to be honest this really put me in very calm, relaxing mode. i absolutely love it and when i finished i was in a happy mood .thank you (:
  • Most meditation techniques need to be done for at least ten minutes to be effective, and I am glad that this only needs three. Thanks for posting!
  • Mam.. thank you.... thank you..... so muchh..... I've used this exercise during my exams and in between my exam also. This had helped me a lot in my exams to perform to my maximum extent. I'd be really grateful to you... Once again thank you so much mam.

    You're quite right about people doing that, usually. And alright, this one could have started about 1 min 30 later, and just went straight to the juicy bit. But she's far better than most. And she has none of the usual irritating sales pitch, usually lasting for half of the vid. And none of it featured the silly instructions to rewire the subconsciousness, calling it the "brain", to condition the self into being optimistic, rather than to be realistic. A big thumbs up from me.

    Thank you for this! I'm a paraplegic doing desk jobs all day, and this is the first actually useful method I found after 10-15 minutes of searching that doesn't suggest me to basically walk off my mental exhaustion ...
  • Works really fast!!! I do it 5 times a a day and save more than 30 minutes ,during which I would have been confused over my stuff

    I can only speak for myself, but I found it works! Too much going on in my head sometimes, breaks like this help a lot, and I like the technique, ty!

    This makes sense to me. Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night and I cannot get back to sleep because my mind is literally all over the place and thinking of so many different things, I often have to remind myself to focus on my breathing. When I do that, I can't think of much else. Sometimes it doesn't work because I lose focus. It makes sense to me to hold the breath for a few seconds because it probably keeps your mind from wondering in between the inhale and exhale.

    I have salute love your book success under stress. I work multiple jobs to finance my life and creativity. It was almost to a point where I felt like I was gonna die. I had no time and was becoming angry in the process. Your book has helped me to create a balance life. No more moving on the fly in the living room with little to no productivity
