Season 5, Episode 1: Effort - It's not what you do, it's how you do it

Ever noticed that someone could say the same thing in different ways, with different energy and the energetic tone completely colors the tenor of the message?

In both of these cases you are noticing Effort - the study of the dynamics of human movement...

Season 4, Episode 9: Guided Meditation the elemental world in your body

Just back from facilitating a retreat at the Keyes Residency on the coast of Maine, this guided meditation connects your body with the elemental world of nature - so tangible and present in Maine. Feel your feet land and connect to the earth, explore your body's topography like one who wanders and explores the earth, notice the swells and emptying of your breath like the waves moving into and away from shore.
