Effect on Emotions

Mark: Mindfulness has taught me the value of a well thought out response versus a reaction.

A reaction, I find, comes from a place in you that is very driven by emotional frequencies in your body where I think response and thinking, taking a breath and mindfulness, I think that represents a true authentic reaction rather than some kind of weird human instinct.

Thoughts on Breathing

Juliana: Breathing has been a huge part of my mindfulness practice because it's the one tool that allows me to ground myself any time I feel that I can't get ahold of my emotions or my reactions or my thoughts.

Practicing different breathing techniques, like the 3-part breath or Wim Hof; all of that allows me that conscious awareness of me bringing in more prana and that life energy into myself and my body into my being which reminds me that I'm in control of that energy.

Bullying Story

I think there are endless stories of bullying in everyone's life, in ours for sure. Taking it into the present moment; bullying in business.

Our life is very public on Youtube and we like to share our experiences. These days we're trying to do that even more.

We get so much positive feedback from our community, which is amazing, but from time to time, of course, there is negative feedback. There's so many trolls in the internet.

That's been such a great test of mindfulness because you can have hundreds and hundreds of positive comments and there's be that one comment, that one person that decides to say something nasty and then your mind just focuses on this one individual.

Eckhart Tolle, and his book, The Power of Now

Effect on Emotions

It has helped me have a healthy relationship to my emotions in a way that I never could, and for me, mindfulness helped me build the psychological strength and container to accept and process my emotions without judgment or overwhelm.

Thoughts on Breathing

I would say your breathing is the number one key to mindfulness to accessing your

capacity to create the life you want, to love wholeheartedly. It is the most important thing because it literally is your life and it's how you grow your life, heal your life, expand your life, because as soon as you don't breathe, you're gone.

Bullying Story

I was bullied by my older brother and by my parents. My biological father was physically abusive to me when I was young.

I believe on the healing journey, we need to get our thinking to a place where we learn how to take responsibility for everything because when, in your psyche, you get to a place where you take responsibility for anything and everything, then there is no part of your psyche that can be a victim anymore.

Mark says Crystal is the most influential person in his life.

Effect on Emotions

Crystal says mindfulness has affected her emotions tremendously. It helps me realize that whatever is going on outside of me that's causing me to feel these things can always be questioned and it's not necessarily the truth.

If I go inside and be still with myself, then I can find the truth.  

Thoughts on Breathing

Mark's thoughts on breathing: Breathing is everything because breathing brings you back to center.

I wrote a forward to a book called Three Deep Breaths, by Thomas Crum. Three breaths are what you need to take before you go into meditation, I believe. It relaxes you, it centers you, and you get in touch with your soul, the essence of who you are, the god in you, that's what I believe.

Bullying Story

When I was in 8th grade I got a ride to school with the minister in this purple car. It was embarrassing to go to eighth grade in a purple car. We arrived at school and I had grown so tall, so fast. I was the tallest kid in class at 6′ 4″ and 13 years old. I was gangly and uncoordinated. I wrote to the radio station, WLS in Chicago. Wrote to the Great Pumpkin, who would answer every kid's question. My question to him was, Dear Great Pumpkin, my name is Mark Victor Hansen, I go to Webster Junior High School, I'm in Eighth grade, I'm 6′ 4″ and too tall for my class and I'm uncoordinated. So we're in the car with 6 kids and this question comes over the radio. He says, I'm going to tell you what to do today, Mark. “Cut off your head and carry it to school in a paper bag.” Every kid kept asking me, where's my bag.

Effect on Emotions

I have been uncharacteristically called an atypical cardiac surgeon. In the operating room, everyone always says, how come he's so calm.

That calmness is because of mindfulness. Just taking time, having peace and presence of mind. That's how mindfulness has impacted me. It's given me a great amount of equanimity at times of duress.

Thoughts on Breathing

Mindfulness is very central and it's foundational to keeping myself centered and I also believe it helps to regulate my heart rate.

I wear a sensor watch so I'm always proud of myself when my resting heart-rate is in the 40's. Sometimes I can get it down to 41 or 42.

I'm also a runner so I should qualify that. I don't take any beta blockers. It's my way of saying to myself, I'm doing well.

Bullying Story

I got my son to learn how to meditate at a young age so he could use mindfulness in his life.

He embraced mindfulness and found a lot of value from it. I remind him now that he's in the stress of high school with a rigorous curriculum that he should use it as a way to bring himself back to present. It will give him the calm and the space to look at the world and understand how you fit into life holistically.

Mindfulness gives me the opportunity to have gratitude and that has been very helpful.

Bullying Story

Because I was different, because I looked different and because I had eleven fingers, I was sometimes bullied as a child. But that's not where I felt the most damage. I believe it's because I created a story about the bullying. I created a story that I was different and that I was unloveable.

We know that through the Law of Attraction, what we hold is mirrored back to us. It's like a magnet. So if I feel different, I'm going to bring all those experiences into my life.

The day before I married my husband, of course, because I felt different, I attracted a man who was totally different from me. The night before our wedding, a relative of his said, your mother-in-law is really upset because you're Catholic, your father-in-law is really upset because you're Asian.

That really hurt me. So I refused to ever spend time with my husband's relative who said that.

Mindfulness is paying attention to my feelings, befriending myself. Befriending yourself, that's the purpose of mindfulness. It is not Zen, floating away on a cloud of ice-cream. The purpose of mindfulness is to befriend what's happening in you so you can do something about it.

Thoughts on Breathing

The breath is a paradigm for everything. When the sun rises in the east, it's heat causes the earth to exhale. That exhale is called transpiration. It releases it's breath, which then begins the cycles of life.

You can think about breath in terms of, we're living and dying in every moment. That means we're starting over in every moment. There is death and rebirth in every moment. And that's what the breath signifies to me.

In my family I had sibling bullying, my older brother. It would have been helpful to have those skills and tools at my disposal at that time.

I fortunately later developed them and got to a place where I could have an understanding that those actions were from a place of pain within him.

With that comes a soothing balm of love that could surround it all. At that moment when that was happening, that was rough. It knocks your self-esteem to the ground and a lot of self-doubt can creep in.

Effect on Emotions

Mindfulness has given me the ability to explore my emotions without judgment and basically understand the temperature, size and space of each emotion and allow me to be ok with that emotion so that I can release the emotions that are unnecessary with love.

Thoughts on Breathing

Breathing is incredible. I personally have a feeling that the reason the cold showers give me so much energy is not just because of the temperature, but because they cause me to start breathing so deeply.

So breathing is the key and if you are ever in such a panic state that you cant even conceptualize the idea of meditating, forcing yourself to breathe is the emergency solution.

Bullying Story

When you break down bullying, it's a human being that is looking for some sort of validation or attention or love, and through their recklessness, as a lot of us are as kids, just having fun, laughing, crazy, just doing whatever we do, we find something that gets peoples’ attention.

Think about a little baby who is trying to get attention and then it knocks something over and the mom responds. Then the kid starts laughing and now realizes that if it knocks stuff over, it’s going to get the attention and the validation it wants. The same thing happens in school.

I genuinely think that the reason that someone is bullying, especially in younger years, has little or nothing to do with an actual issue or problem or pain that they’re having in their lives and other times it does have a lot to do with them expressing some other pain or challenge they’re dealing with maybe at home.

That being said, the main thing that I’ve experienced was that person in Los Angeles taking advantage of me as a young person who was motivated and driven to be successful in the music industry.

In sixth grade I was bullied. When I think back to it now, I feel like I tried to compartmentalize and maybe put away some of the feelings that I felt. I feel like I knew that I was just chronically sad.

I would eat lunch alone until I took it upon myself to find a new group. I had a group of friends and they decided one day that they didn't want to be my friend anymore.

One of those individuals was my best friend in the world, who still is my best friend today and that's the only rift or argument we ever had in twenty-two years.
