Here’s a new meditation I just recorded, inspired by the wonderful Richie Davidson. I hope you enjoy it.

So many of us are living with chronic stress. Meaning, we are living in survival mode. And when we’re optimized to survive, we can’t be optimized to thrive.

The stress response is designed to help us survive physical life or death experiences. And although most people will never have such an experience, we have more stress now than we have at any time in our evolution.

Here is a simple and easy practice you can do daily to develop a sense of connection that will profoundly benefit you physically and emotionally.

How connected we feel to others enormously influences our stress, out mental/emotional well being, and our true happiness.

These are the simple instructions for the most basic form of meditation. I’ve covered a lot here, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Of all the many skills we develop through mindfulness practices, one of the most profound, and most applicable to our daily lives, is the skill of letting go.

Today we briefly explore the connection between stress and disease and the role our emotions play in the process.

The practice of journaling is very helpful in developing emotional intelligence, but also has shown tremendous physical benefits, as well.

Aligning with a sense of purpose... with something larger than yourself... is a very effective way to reduce stress, increase happiness, build emotional resilience, and avoid burnout.
