Meditation can be A Source of Strength When Grieving
“He was a big giant of a man…” said the lead protagonist of one of my favorite binge-worthy shows: ‘Newsroom.’ Will McAvoy of Newsroom was concerned about being reductive – his good friend, the producer of the show had passed away and the whole team was looking to Will for some words in memoriam. Strumming the guitar to the tune of ‘went to Memphis…” Will finally finds the words that could somewhat do justice to what was in his heart. The pain, the gratitude and the power of moving memories all gushed forth in a few pithy sentences that served as a soaring memorial to a great character.
It was one of those moments that many of us feel moved by – I certainly was.
How to Control Your Attention in a World of Distraction
Recently, there was a story on a blog about a man diagnosed with adult ADHD in his 30’s. It answered many questions he’d had for years about his level of hyperfocus and high distractibility. He realized he used hyperfocus to drown out the distractions around him.
While this level of focus might seem highly productive to outsiders, this man would become obsessively absorbed in something, neglecting his responsibilities and losing track of time. He was prone to abandoning projects in mid-stream and changing focus completely.
What this young man did was learn how to rewire his brains using practices and habits of meditation. It allowed him to create a support system rather than being medicated.
When Is Stress Dangerous?
Just about everyone is talking about stress today. The term has become a buzzword, and you may even feel like people are competing over who is busier and who is more stressed out.

But, at what point is it something to look at deeper? At what point is stress dangerous?
Meditation Helps Slow Down the Aging Process
Whether it’s stress or inflammation, nobody likes to look or feel older than their chronological age. Stress has a way of digging in and making us feel and look much older than we are.
Companies know our obsession with aging and are more than happy to provide us with a wide-range of anti-aging solutions. People spend thousands of dollars to find the correct product to turn back or slow down time.
What if there is a way to slow down the aging process that’s free? Would you give it a chance?
Getting Back to School: How Sahaja Helps Kids Struggling with AD/HD
Back to school means much more than school supply shopping for parents with children struggling with AD/HD. Now is the time you’re likely to be brainstorming solutions for you and your child for the upcoming school year.
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) is a disorder that impacts many children and adults today. People struggling with AD/HD can struggle to pay attention or may find it difficult to control their behavior. While medication, counseling and lifestyle changes are often first lines of treatment for AD/HD, studies show that Sahaja meditation techniques are also hugely helpful for both children struggling with the disorder and their parents.
