Many of us live in a state of chronic drip-feed stress, often reacting mindlessly to the chaos surrounding us, endlessly ruminating over the same inner stories, and missing most of what is unfolding right in front of us.

It is my hope that these glimmers of mind-body connection may help slow down the stress train and inspire good decisions as we move through the day. - Namaste, Brian
