We all like to think we get a clean slate when the year changes at midnight. We make goals and hope to see things differently. But if we knew a bit more about the neural mechanisms behind goal setting and our sense or rewards, we might approach our resolutions with a bit more strategy, ensuring our success rather than setting ourselves up for disappointment..

It's a fine line between dissociation and the reprieve that practices like meditation offer. This is not to say meditation or any spiritual practice is designed to do that.

Let's discuss which sugars are supportive and which contribute to cellular and mind stress.

Just a short welcome to invite you in to our inquiry and discover of the integration of mind and body.
