In this episode you discover a special form of concentration that leads you easily into a mindful stress releasing state.

What role can concentration play in opening the door to mindfulness? Must great effort be used when you concentrate on a given object, situation, person, or anything else? Can concentration be activated by voicing a simple decision to do so?

You and I will explore the role a special form of concentration can play in opening the door to mindfulness and emotional peace.
