You can tap into your breath and be still. And then it does all kinds of other things, right? So it teaches you to tolerate discomfort. It teaches you how to be in the present.

The way you be in the present is by engaging in a practice that forces you into the present. You don't have to try. Another great example of being in the present, stand on one leg. For how long?

All that stuff will happen automatically. That's the beauty of it. So I think, you know, that's where I would say people should start. Now, where do they go after that?

So a couple of things. One is he didn't force me. It was a suggestion.
