Midday Tree Meditation to Relax, Recharge, and Breathe Fresh Air

During this week I am doing special midday meditations to help us deal with our accumulated and ongoing stress.  As you know, a few weeks of prolonged stress can have serious effects on our Health and Well-Being.
So, I am doing these "walking in the woods" meditations to help You do better, feel better, sleep better, and have greater clarity.
In addition, last week several people asked me for more help with tension and upset due to politics, or illness in the family, or work situations.  So, for this week only, I am offering my one-on-one Coaching sessions at 25 % off my regular fee.  Just call this number 512-677-9049    Leave a message and I will call you back as soon as possible.  Call now and leave a message.  There are just a few appointments available.
Have a great day and remember to Breathe ... Mary Christopher

Sunday Morning Meditation for Sunday November 1 2020

Are you ready for November?  If you live in the US, have you Voted?
Hopefully, after November 3, and when all the Votes are counted, we can all calm way down.  When people are so stressed and polarized, nothing is getting accomplished.  This is no way to run an Ice Cream stand, much less a country.  We are better people than this ...
Because of the recent surge in Covid-19 cases, I am offering my "Bulletproof Immunity" Workshop again this Saturday, November 7 at 12 pm CST.  If there was ever a time that we need a Strong Immune System, this is it. If you are feeling stressed, your Immune System may be suppressed. To register for this Free Workshop, click this link >>> Build and Strengthen Your Immune System.
Today in the podcast we are doing a very calming breathing practice.  This is one we use frequently in meditation classes.  Try it and let me know in the comments how it works for you.  Thanks for Listening!
Have a Great Week and remember to Breathe ~ Mary Christopher

Friday Morning Lowering Our Stress Exercise October 30 2020

Yesterday during meditation class, I got a request for a Stress Lowering Podcast.  So, here it is with a very simple breathing exercise.
As you are probably aware we are in the midst of a very polarized election here in the United States.  The political situation combined with the global pandemic is very stressful for everyone even if you are living in the middle of nowhere without any internet or television.
We know that living with prolonged stress is damaging to our physical and emotional well-being.  When we are stressed no matter for how long, our Immune System is suppressed.  This happens because we are in a Fight or Flight or Freeze survival mode. 
So, when we can lower our stress levels, we are supporting our Immune System !!!  Good for Us !!!
Try the Breathing Exercise in this podcast.  It will work.  I know it will work for you because I use it and people in my meditation classes use it. It works !
Give it a try and let me know how it is working for you ...
