FOR THE LOVE OF POLITICS, WE ALL NEED TO CALM DOWN! In all seriousness, having anxiety about the upcoming US Election is common. Fear is a normal reaction, especially with the evidence of the past. But...and it's a big BUT: we have no idea what is going to happen. NONE. So worrying about the what-ifs, and making up stories about what could happen whether your party wins or not, doesn't do anything but harm our mental (and even physical) health. And understanding that the 'game' part of politics are based in psychology - specifically designed to rile up the masses, is going to help you put things in perspective. We are with you, we see you, and we are feeling it too. Let's all take a deep breath together, and take a step back and be present...we are ok.

There's some debate over whether the state of mindfulness practices in the US are being misappropriated and offending some sectors of religion. Where did it come from? Why is it practiced the way it is here in the US? Who started it? We answer these questions in this week's episode!

Yes, you can walk and meditate at the same time! As promised in our last episode about moving meditations, here is a great way to not only get in some movement, but also feed your soul at the same time. A walking meditation is simply noticing every single thing around you during your walk, taking in the sensations and being completely aware. Give it a try!

Not all forms of meditation are sitting still in quietness. In fact, some forms of meditation can be through movement, like yoga, tai chi, qi gong, and yes, even dance! Listen in as we talk about what we've tried, what we would like to try, and let us know what YOU try!
