I don't understand.. According to my grading rubric this post is an A++?

Learn to control your breathing. Pick a mantra that calms you and has an even number of syllables, and practice breathing in and out deliberately, smoothly, with each syllable of the mantra being one breath. Clear your mind other than the mantra and the thought of your breath. Notice how hard it is to do that, but don't punish yourself for having trouble either. Don't force yourself not to picture things, or let your mind wander. Instead, gently "let go" of the train of thought and come back to your relaxed, gentle breathing.

If you do this for 5-15 minutes a day, once or twice a day, soon you will notice that it can change your entire mood for the following several hours, or interrupt a panic attack. If you do it in the morning after waking up or in bed before going to sleep, you may notice you were regularly having panic attacks before or after sleeping, complete with shallow breaths and darting, manic, anxious trains of thought, and you simply never noticed it until now.

Your whole relationship to your life and its various states can change by noticing something as simple as this. We think that because we're lying down, and the external word for what we're doing is "relaxing," we must be relaxed. But it's only when we take a step back and look at our own mental states from within that we see what we're actually doing.

guys we're going to remove the "new" in the book title eventually right? Because obviously any new release is new

At the very least I am glad it sounds plausible but I am in agreement with you when it comes to the rest of the collection. No other story within Dubliners is open enough to support a transcendent reading, which is one of the reasons I like Eveline so much and find it such an anomaly. I wish Joyce would have to continued to write like this but he goes on to write far more structurally engaging texts (hence this thread).
