This interview is so inspiring that I listen to it over and over again and it helps me every time. There are so many golden nuggets in this one. I definitely recommend downloading it and keeping it handy. Peg is a very special person to me and to all the countless other people she's taught and to those countless others affected by those she has taught! Incredibly humble and always ready with words of wisdom, Peg is the Clinical Director of the Center for Training at the Benson-Henry Institute where she has earned international recognition as a leading educator and lecturer in the field of mind-body medicine. She is the Director of the Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) Program, an Adjunct Professor at the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute for Health Professions, a Harvard Medical School affiliate. Peg is a researcher and clinician who created innovative programs for patients and health care providers. So without further ado, my interview with one of my favorite people in the world.

Did you know that Imagination and Creativity combat stress in our minds and bodies? It's actually one of the benefits of being human. But, when's the last time you used your imagination? Not to worry or to imagine what you're having for dinner, but use it in the way little kids do or the script writers for Star Wars or Mary Poppins? Do you ever wonder why we don't use it in this way as we grow up?

Remember being a child and letting your imagination run wild? Imagination is a powerful driver in the human brain and there's no age limit to how much you can use it. Imagination has created everything around us and it can create our future. Imagination, along with creativity can also be a very potent antidote to stress. 

In this meditation, you will learn to understand how your brain processes creative imagination and the practice will improve your ability to use your imagination on demand, to serve you.  

You will elicit your relaxation response, the complete opposite of the stress response. Twice a day for 10 min will increase your body's ability to counteract the daily wear and tear on your body from stressors and demands of life. Imagining a safe place can help lower the stress response from stressful situations, real or imagined, and help you move toward your true goals in life. 

You don't need a special place, clothes or time. Just find a safe spot, sit comfortably and listen. Earphones are great if you have them

This is a great practice to help you focus. You can choose words like "just this" , "in out" , "calm ease" or whatever serves you in this moment, to match with breath to elicit your relaxation response, the complete opposite of the stress response. Twice a day for 10 min will increase your body's ability to counteract the daily wear and tear on your body from stressors and demands of life. The single focus also trains your mind to gently release thoughts that may not be helping you and redirect them toward thoughts and actions that can help you move toward your true goals in life. You don't need a special place, clothes or time. Just find a safe spot, sit comfortably and listen. Earphones are great if you have them.

This 10 minute recording is designed to bring on your Relaxation Response, the exact opposite to your Stress Response. Find a comfortable place and take a mini break for your mind and body. It will increase your productivity, decrease stress levels and it will help your brain to practice your best self, the self that is at ease with the world. 

Regular practice of the relaxation response will improve any condition exacerbated by stress, while improving quality of life.
