Meditate for Your Health and Happiness
Have you always thought about meditating but weren't sure of where to start? I'm here to help. About two years ago I attended a workshop on beginners meditation and since then I've worked it into my daily life by dedicating a simple five to ten minutes in the morning to sitting peacefully and focusing on my breath. The results are amazing. The leap from calm to angry or anxious is much more rare, and it has also helped me be more focused.
Getting started can sometimes be tricky, that's why I love to listen to a group of podcasts that I've downloaded from iTunes called "Mediation Oasis," which includes guided meditations by a women named Mary Maddox. Her voice is one of the most soothing I've ever heard. Depending on your mood, you can choose a short breathing exercise or a longer exercise on emotional ease or healing. She even has a podcast that offers tips on how to start and how to achieve the greatest benefit from meditating.

Overcome Fear and Reinvent Yourself
Did you know that our bodies today are not made up of the same cells they were 30 days ago? If our bodies can reinvent themselves then our minds should be quite capable of doing the same, shouldn't they? As the fall approaches, it brings with it a sparkle of opportunity. How can you change your life for the better?
Have you always dreamed about trying your hand at a new hobby, or even a new career? What's stopping you? Most often it is fear that keeps us from taking a chance. No matter how unhappy you are, there is always some comfort in what you know.
