Simply put, meditation is the quieting of the mind that allows the body deep, cleansing rest. When the body is allowed to slip into this state of rest, amazing things begin to happen. Stress releases. Cells rebuild. Energy moves. Healing occurs. Even five minutes a day can have a tremendous impact on your health and wellbeing. These days most of us live in a perpetual state of stress, yet we don't quite understand how this is physically impacting our health. How are our thoughts and day-to-day stressors creating such tangible effects in our bodies? And how can meditation reverse this?

The orgasmic tingle of meditation, God how I love it, crave it, feel its addictive pull.

Most days I scurry around in meaningless Earthly circles

My ego stubbornly resisting the stillness.

But when I settle in and meet her there

When I bow and release and succumb and acquiesce,

She never disappoints.

My house is quiet with the sounds of slumber. Chloe’s noise machine purrs with the gentle hum of the ocean. Brian’s slow, restful breaths fill the air of our bedroom. And I am completely still within my grateful heart. Just before I put Chloe down for her nap, she and I juiced together; she on her learning tower, me standing over the juicer chuckling as she handed me the produce piece by piece after sampling each one. Little nibble marks here, chunks missing there; each filling my heart with more and more love and appreciation.

As my fingers brush the keys, I'm breathing a deep sigh of gratitude and love over here. Tomorrow will mark 40 days since Brian and I began our journey with meditation, and I am in quiet awe and contemplation of a life completely transformed.

It has been a fast and intense love affair full of deep emotion and expansive growth, and I can easily say I have never felt so happy, so alive and so at peace in my entire life. 

OMG, I have been soooo excited to finally blog about my and Brian's experience at the Joe Dispenza Progressive Workshop last weekend, but I've been too busy meditating!! Haha!! Seriously though, I have.

Here's the short version for those of you that want to get right to the point.

Want to change your life? Tired of looping through the same predictable future with the same problems and the same woes and the same complaints? Wish you had more money, a better body, more happiness, better relationships?

Then stop focusing on all that negativity and change. Make a decision. Commit to yourself. And just freaking do it.
