Thank you so much. Happy Fourth of July.

Dear Doctor Lucas- I truly appreciate your taking time from your to allow me to quote your excellent 1-minute breathing medication.
It would be great if I could insert the statement below (in "quotes") into the draft of a small article I am writing - "Self-calming for Self actualization" attached in pdf, epub and mobi formats. The article is only about 700 word long.
I think your statement (in quotes below) would fit wellunder the heading- A Tip for Better Breathing .
"Dr. Pauline H. Lucas, of the world renowned Mayo clinic (Arizona location), has developed an ingenious 60 second breathing medication (2018). The six easy steps follow:
Easy steps to practice a 1-minute breathing meditation:
Find a comfortable seated position, feel your feet on the ground and keep your spine tall and straight. Relax your shoulders away from your ears, and relax the face. If appropriate, you can choose to close your eyes.Take a long, slow breath in through the nose, and then calmly, slowly, and without tension breathe all the air out through the nose.Resume regular breathing by allowing the next breath to come in automatically, without any effort, and notice the cool sensations at the nostrils.Keep your awareness with the sensations at the nostrils as you breathe out calmly, and notice warmer air leaving the nose. Ideally your outbreath is a bit longer than the inbreath.For 1 minute (longer if desired) keep your awareness with the breath gently entering and leaving the nostrils.If you find your mind wandering, simply return it to the breathing practice.) (Lucas, 2018)
END of Requested Insert.

Thank you again. I am trying to continue writing to maintain some level of cognitive fitness. I have a short article I will be sending you under separate cover which could possibly be of benefit to other MCI folks.
Have a great summer.

Dr. Rubenzer,
The quote is fine to use with the following edits:
1. Please capitalize Mayo Clinic.
2. We say "Arizona campus" rather than location.
Additionally, can you please include a link back to the original post here on Connect for the electronic publications: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/newsfeed-post/the-1-minute-breathing-meditation-for-relaxation/
Thank you and all the best with your work.
Dear Dr. Lucas- I would be glad to make the changes.*
I tried to send you a small token of my appreciation (For Brighter Day, Choose to be Positive... at
https://www.amazon.com/author/ronrubenzer . ) Thanks again. Dr. Ron Rubenzer
* The article is at an epublication prep service now There is also a PDF of the article. I will make the changes you requested on the upcoming PDF.
