Wherever the Mind Is the Body Will Follow

This workshop introduces 12 premium channels that reduce stress, quiet the mind, nourish the body and feed the soul. Wherever the Mind Is the Body Will Follow The holiday season is upon us and for many people stress accompanies the season. Stress is a natural human response and everyone experiences stress to some degree, but our understanding of stress and the way we respond to it makes a big difference to our well-being. The brain is the organ that manages all inputs from our environment, rules over our actions, and functions like a remote control with an infinite numbers of channels. Although the brain is not literally a remote control, it is a vast, multi-channel communication network with neural circuits that can turn specific behaviors, states, or processes on or off with precise control —much like pressing a button on a remote. Our identification with the thoughts in our mind gives them life. They need our cooperation to be there which suggests in becoming conscious of our thoughts we can program the network channels “our responses” to internalize new habits and patterns of thought. This workshop will introduce you to 12 premium channels that guarantee responses that reduce stress, quiet the mind, nourish the body and feed the soul, and not just during the Holidays!
