The post about fear of deep water made me remember something. Years ago I was learning how to snorkel. Every time I would put my face in the water and start to breathe through the snorkeling tube I would panic! Trying to keep my fear in check and get more comfortable with it took discipline! I learned to be able to do it by using slow, deep breathing and listening to the sound of the breathe, just like in meditation. I have snorkeled since then and the panic reaction is still there at times. I start to breathe really rapid and shallow and need to pull my face out of the water.

I wonder if in a past life I ever drowned.
