Why spend money to find out if wild rats swim better than lab rats? I can’t think of any way this knowledge could benefit humans or not.

Do you think in medieval times they put rats in armor and encouraged them to slaughter each other with weapons in a gladiator pit as study?

In our daily life, we breathe, but we forget that we’re breathing. The foundation of all mindfulness practice is to bring our attention to our in-breath and out-breath. This is called mindfulness of breathing, or conscious breathing. It’s very simple, but the effect can be very great. In our daily life, although our body is in one place, our mind is often in another. Paying attention to our in-breath and out-breath brings our mind back to our body. And suddenly we are there, fully present in the here and the now.
Conscious breathing is like drinking a glass of cool water. As we breathe in, we really feel the air fi lling our lungs. We don’t need to control our breath. We feel the breath as it actually is. It may be long or short, deep or shallow. In the light of our awareness it will naturally become slower and deeper. Conscious breathing is the key to uniting body and mind and bringing the energy of mindfulness into each moment of our life.
Regardless of our internal weather—our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions—our breathing is always with us like a faithful friend.
Whenever we feel carried away, sunk in a deep emotion, or caught in thoughts about the past or the future, we can return to our breath-ing to collect and anchor our mind.

Surely Kelly has an academic title of some kind, right? Dr.? Professor? PsyD?
Is TED unable to accredit individuals properly? Or is this lack of acknowledgement something spurned by the notion of being “neutral” and no longer attaching formal labels on specific persons?
For those who are thinking of searching and looking up Kelly’s professional information, she has a Ph.D in Bio-psychology. You can effectively call her “Dr. Kelly Lambert.”
