She is also a Yoga Teacher  who did her 200-hr training at ISHTA with me in New York and a Reiki practitioner. Julianne is launching sartorialstrategist.com, a service to help people figure out and create a sattvic relationship with their wardrobes.

In this episode, I share a meditation class recording where we look at one of the Bhagavad Gita's chapters about our nature as the "field" and the "knower" of that field. It's an interesting metaphor and provides an useful map of our evolution. Following the talk you can join in a meditation, the ISHTA Diksha.

Today we head to meditation class to loosen the knots of energy that keep us stuck in limited thinking and keep us from gracefully moving in the flow of nature's cycles. Listen to the talk at the front or join in the practice, too — just not while you're driving!

In today's roundtable edition, I chat with Kristin Leal, Kelly Eudaily, and Wendy Newton about current thoughts about the health benefits of meditation. All three are teacher trainers with lots of experience teaching meditation and the corresponding benefits. We have a good time talking about not only benefits, but the best way to share findings of research and how much research actually matters regarding meditation.
