It changed my life. I've learned to relax and be more in control of my body, instead of having my body controlling me.

The raisin exercise makes you aware of sights, sounds, scents and tastes. Now I relax, slow down, and take time to appreciate things around me -- a bird or a cricket, the wind in the trees. Meditation makes my life a little more peaceful. It's made me a better me.

I'm still in constant pain. But meditation makes the pain more bearable. It's taught me how to live with it and to find ways to better manage it.

It's just wonderful. No matter how stressed you feel before, afterward you feel relaxed, calm and filled with energy.

We played well within our limits. But you can't relax or think you have the match under control against Bayern because they have too many good individual players.

The adrenaline levels are still so high. My body hasn't had a chance to relax, so it makes all the hard work (for the Challenge) OK.
