The Dr. Brenda Wade Show

What happens to a woman who seeks to rediscover her sexuality at 70?  Does she visit a sex store? Does she buy toys and ? Does she push her boundaries to even greater extremes and join a sex chat website?

Well, my guest tonight says she did all that and more. Lynn Brown Rosenberg is the author of My Sexual Awakening At 70. No matter your age, she says her tips will help you have great sex.

What if you could attain a stress-free, joy-filled state in one minute? Literally, One Minute.  My guest tonight says it is truly possible to achieve Zen in 60 Seconds. She is FARZANA, a coach to A-List actors, professional athletes, executives and leaders around the world. Her upcoming book “I Cheat At Meditation” promises to break myths about meditation and help readers access this invaluable tool for success and happiness. 

The reason the book is called cheating is that it guarantees that once the reader has mastered this technique they will achieve deep states of meditative brain waves in under a minute every time.  

The blissfulness of meditation can be scientifically measured by the EEG (electroencephalography) in brainwaves. With other practices, you may or may not achieve the deepest relaxation that comes with lower brain waves every time.

From the book FARZANA explains, "the following technique will cause a deep and lasting calmness especially with sustained exposure. Other side effects include: better sleep, improved focus and concentration, enhanced memory, genuine confidence, visible smiling, audible laughter, positivity, and physical healing."
