Meditation

Following the path of meditation throughout the ages is a rich and varied journey. Evidence of people embracing rhythmic, repetitive chants and offerings to their gods exists in prehistoric times. A practice that has existed and morphed throughout history is something to pay attention to. Henry Benson (Harvard Medical school cardiologist) did probably one of the most extensive studies of the effects of meditation back in the 60’s. Lowering blood pressure, changing brain waves, a tool for stress reduction……..studies consistently prove benefits. BUT it is a practice – start your day with 5, 10 minutes of meditation, the ease and benefits build the more consistent you are. Even “just trying” is better than doing n o t h i n g at all.

Integrative

Tending or serving to integrate, bring together, combine. In many conventional medical settings the option to bring in alternative therapies such as yoga, naturopathy and such now exists and ..yeah!…many steps forward from when I began coaching. STILL, in my web of a mind there remains a component of separation in this approach. Doing this now, doing that next. The potential of truly weaving modalities INTO each other opens connections that can benefit both and create new landscapes. Breathing techniques on your yoga mat – wonderful. Breathing techniques that have become part of you through practice and have the power to change your responses when your kids, partner, life, pain are full throttle driving you crazy – magic.

Forgiveness

Forgive, to give completely without reservation. To let go. Are you right to be angry about betrayals great or small….your pain is not to be judged, so yes, you are right. BUT are you invested more in being right or in being happy? To be unwilling to forgive is a withholding of the capacity to love. It cements you in anger, sadness, grief; it creates unending stress, which in turn is the seed for physiological problems aside from mental, emotional, and spiritual ones. To forgive is not easy, it is a process, a journey, a willingness to think differently. Whatever happened, happened in the past. It is not here in this present moment…only your continued created thinking about it is. Finding the path to changing that thinking is more potent than any superfood out there.
