Whenever I entered this empty-mind state, I could neither hear nor talk and was not conscious of my movements. Not only did my mind go blank, but afterward I felt as if my brain had been cleaned and reset. This gave me the ability to retreat from my own consciousness and come back stronger. I noticed the effects immediately. I was able to focus with absolute clarity and my senses grew sharper, as did my awareness of my body and surroundings. By far the most important thing that Orlando Cani taught me was how to control my breathing.
