A brief monologue advising that meditation can be over-complicated; the speaker recommends simple breath-focused practice because it is ordinary, easily brought into daily life, and less likely to cause dissociation than chakra/internal-energy techniques.

Do you feel that you are getting lost in the meditation, and then it's very hard to come back to reality. So maybe to combat that problem, do something much more simple, such as breathing, because it's more connected with ordinary life. What I love about meditation is that it's completely normal, it's completely ordinary. It's just you and your breath. So going into chakras and internal energy can be more like you'll go into another space and it's very hard to come back. I find I prefer breathing because it's so normal and I can take it with me wherever I go, literally.
