Trauma has impacted countless lives, especially with the pandemic going on in the world. There’s no telling how much it can damage an individual as time goes by. With this reality, there have been several treatments to counter the effects it brings in our lives. However, there’s no real guarantee that one treatment will be as effective for the next person. But what if there was one that is easy to integrate into a possible routine with real significant effects?

For decades, thought leaders and pioneers have purposely studied and dug deep into developing methods on how we can allow healing to occur for patients suffering mental illnesses. There certainly has been a growing interest in the recent decades for employing meditation as a method that has real potential for healing and wellness.

In today’s interesting episode, we are deeply honored to be joined by a world renowned teacher, author and a meditation pioneer and industry leader, Sharon Salzberg. Together, we dive deep into the benefits that meditation and its practice brings for our patients, and how it can impact our mental well-being.
