## Resource

In this episode we explore a classic Zen Buddhist legend to help elucidate the topic of paying attention during an Osteopathic Treatment. Beginning with awareness of our own of breath, especially prolonged exhalation and prolonged inhalation, we can discover how to regulate our own nervous systems in order to better help our patients. ~~~ We’ve created several foundational episodes, which are free and are available anywhere you get your podcasts. The complete collection is only available at https://www.patreon.com/OsteopathyUnplugged
