Effect on Emotions- Mindfulness empowers us to breathe, relax, and to say what we need to say in the most mindful way.
- Mindfulness helps us hear what someone else is saying and allows us to read between the lines.
- Mindfulness diffuses potentially explosive situations. It helps us get through whatever we need to get through.
- Breathing and focusing on the breath is important in my morning meditations. It helps me to get grounded.
- Breathing is a part of our cow hug therapy sessions. We encourage our guests to breathe and close their eyes and to connect with the cow.

- Kids can be very cruel. There's this idea that there is a norm. Everyone's trying to fit in and be liked.
- Everyone's trying to get approval. No one's sitting in elementary school saying I am different and I love myself.
- We're all saying, “Let us fit in.” I think in the big picture, it's really cool that we get lost because when we become adults, we can become found.
