  Did you know you still had some of the amniotic fluid you incubated in when you were in your mother’s womb inside your brain to this very day? Yep, some of the original fluid that was there surrounding you as a fetus in the womb is what makes up your cerebrospinal fluid that bathes your brain right now.

Welcome Spring With This Refreshing Grounded Mediation You Can Do Right Now

    I’ve long been a fan of the health benefits of meditation, so I was really excited when a new medical study confirmed that mindfulness meditation significantly reduces pain, and does so in a totally unique neuropathway that is completely separate from any pain relief that is found through the placebo effect.

Using Grounding To Treat Anxiety … What The Medical Literature Says

    I’ve been anxious my entire life.  I can’t remember a day when I did not wake up with a huge knot in my stomach that felt like death was gripping my solar plexus and sneering up at me. Unfortunately the medical literature is pretty clear — anxiety has major health effects, but it’s equally clear that those deleterious health effects are actually reversible.  Meaning, if you suffer from anxiety, it’s very worth addressing, not just for the relief on a daily basis but also for the longevity benefits. Today, as someone who very much knows the felt sense
