You were also having acupuncture to help get rid of your bronchial asthma. I would wake you up around 20 minutes before you normally had to get up. We would sit on the floor cross-legged, with our hands loosely held out from our bellies, a little below our belly buttons, and we would slowly breathe in and out as if the breath were going down and coming from our bellies. You usually started listing to the side every few minutes, your body wanting to go back to sleep. I would prop you up again. But we stuck with it for quite a few months, and between the acupuncture, herbs, and meditation, you never had another asthma attack. I love that you have introduced readers to meditation.
