You hit it on the head. Our instructors in Aikido teach us that we won't always be in a constant state of awareness, but we should be able to instantly arrive there - or choose when you are "there". The only 'constant' is change, and survival depends upon your ability to be like water :-) Thanks for comments, and keep 'em coming! Strong One, you are absolutely correct – it is indeed harder to realize you are “holding your breath”… believe it or not. You hit it on the head.

I think that's the challenge, is not only practicing the 'practice', but knowing the differences when you're not. In my humble opinion it's much harder to realize your not doing it, as opposed to being in that constant state. But I guess that's the real lesson. You never will be in any 'constant' state. Being able to adapt to how you change to the changes around you... I think.. would be the key. Thanks for the post. GREAT SUBJECT
