[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1264150, member: 196898"] Never hsd a bubble bath? Or had champagne bubbles go up the nose? or chased bubbles down the street when a kid? blowing big soap bubbles in the bath? Or covering your hair in bubbles when washing your hair as a kid? Mind over matter has a reality that many use to combat distress, so I do not knock it. But it can seem to be snake oil for some. As an aged hippy I have used such techniques to good advantage. Edit to add Update: this year I had two heart attacks that left me breathless and gasping for air, My sugar levels went through the roof because I was having an adrenaline surge due to anxiety, and my insulin resistance prevented it from doing its stuff to bring bgl down, My bgl was off the meter. While I was in cardio resus, I used mindfullness to reduce the adrenaline levels, Soon my bgl came down and I started functioning as a human again. Since all my meds were stopped, and I was not being given insulin even though my glucose levels were so high, I escaped DKA, and my bgl dropping was proof that I was indeed awash with insulin at the time, and that it worked eventually. Mindfullness certainly helped me control my breathing too so my heart fell back into line as well and it all worked out in the end. [/QUOTE]
