This mediation teaches us how to be with someone is is struggling with out becoming overwhelmed.

I want to reduce the suffering in teens and tweens. How can I help? 

Relax the body and bring loving awareness to the body that moves us. 

Learn a new technique to manage the stressful moments. Anxiety always hits is BEFORE the event. Using the Sloes of the feet technique to walk up to the front of the class before a presentation  or performance.

Soles of the feet can be used at your desk or before the big game. It is an invisible strategy that can be used by anyone at anytime. 

I use this techniques  often when flying  and as I walk up to the podium for a big keynote presentations.  We all need tools for our tool kit! 

Breathing can be such a powerful tool to manage big emotions and to stay focused.  I invite you to get curious and think about how you breath! - what type of breath do you like?

In this meditation we explore the anatomy and the difference between a heart breath and a belly breath. 

I am a yoga teacher and studied pranayama breathing - I am totally bias... I am a Heart breather. I was lucky enough to take a course with Leslie Kaminoff of the Breath Project. 
We will explore further breath techniques in future episodes.
