“A mind that is stretched to a new idea never returns to its original dimension.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes

This episode aims to introduce practical instruction for mastering the Wheel of Awareness, a life-changing tool for cultivating more focus, presence, and peace in our lives.

We will explore:

The science that underlies meditation's effectiveness
How to harness the power of the principle "Where attention goes, neural firing flows, and neural connection grows."
How developing a Wheel of Awareness practice to focus attention, open awareness, and cultivate kind intention can help us grow a healthier brain and reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in our lives.

Whether we have no experience with a reflective practice or are an experienced practitioner, we are going to explore this hands-on guide that will enable you to become more focused and present, as well as more energized and emotionally resilient
