"I had the “Aha” moment that made me fully understand the power of integrating reflexes from a personal experience.  For years, when I play tennis, I bite my lips, and my mouth tenses whenever I swing the racquet.  When I power serve the ball, my often body tenses up and I hold my breath.  When this happens, the ball often goes into the net or a little wild.  I feel like I am fighting against my own body and have to mentally tell myself to breath and relax through the activity.  However, that changed that day after doing the han-mouth integration exercises.  I stepped up during warm up to serve the ball, and my body felt free to move exactly the way I intended for it.  This was a new sensation for me.  My serves were spot on.  I couldn’t believe it.  It felt so good, not to feel so bound up.  All my serves during that match felt free.  Better yet, we won our tennis match!"
