Face Your Fears ,and Win

Face Your Fears and Win

What I have learned through meditation, is that your consciousness (some would call it your spirit) can leave your body and travel to astral planes. This made me think of the afterlife. Where does the spirit go then?

Stress, causes me to feel anxious and in extreme cases, suffer from panic attacks, which feels like a lack of oxygen.

Smoke from fire can contain products that do not cause direct harm to you, but that take up the space needed for oxygen. Carbon dioxide, for instance, acts in this way, however;

” A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide at a rate of 48 lbs. per year and release enough oxygen back into the atmosphere to support 2 human beings”[1].

Yet trees can also be destroyed by fire.

Water can quench fire, in turn extinguishing the smoke, but, while drowning, the lungs to fill with water. Humans can't breath under water. Yet people are about 60% water.
We are all just part of the same thing. Something MUCH bigger.
Death is only the beginning.

These panic attacks, can easily be solved by just relaxing ,exhalling and taking deep slow breaths from the belly.

Like if you were to take your head out of the water and just breathe. Or leave the place full of smoke, and just breathe.

Taking typical scenes of tranquillity in nature, I intend to create bursts of frantic uneasiness, and relaxed atmospheres.By making the natural seem supernatural,or uberreal,
I can put my audience into a nighmareish headspace or a meditive mood.

I have used only my breathing ,wood and water, to make the sound effects.

Sound naturally evokes an emotional response and along with the images I chose , the sound paints a picture in the mind’s eye, your door to the spirit world.
