" Once you get the message from a feeling (say, “I’m scared”), you may want to make it disappear. Breathing is the fastest and most effective way to do this. Take a few big breaths into the physical sensations of any emotion, and watch what happens. Many times, that’s all it takes to move it out of your body. I have witnessed this done a thousand times now, but it still moves me to see the look on people’s faces when they learn that they are the master of their feelings. "
