BEST MOMENTS "I've always been super interested in how other cultures do health and healing, knowing that there is so much wisdom and knowledge from our past."  "This experience changed my life. When I finished up with that research a year later and went back home, I immediately sought out a Sangha, a meditation group that I could practice with formally every single week."  "Anxiety is my number one teacher. But how have I done that process? And what have I learned along the way?"   "I feel like you said, it gives you that clarity within your own space as well, doesn't it? Of what's bothering you, whether it's got anything to do with your other or not."   "Thank you for listening. Please subscribe, follow and review the show. That is very much appreciated."
