"If you build it, he will come." ~ Field of Dreams 1989

Watching old movies on a rainy day is one of my favorite things to do.  One recent Saturday,  I watched a rerun of the classic 1989 flick "Field of Dreams."  We all remember the famous line “If you build it, he will come.”  That's when Iowa corn farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) starts hearing voices. The movie was not only about following your dreams - but also about realizing your potential. It reminded me about meditation, and how the practice directly links each of us to realize our potential. From there, we naturally become our best in our business environment as well.

Five Rules for Bliss-Filled Meditations

1. SCHEDULE YOUR MEDITATIONS TWICE A DAY 
Most practiced meditators agree, that much like exercise, if you don't plan or create a ritual at the same time of day, it's just too easy to put a meditation off.  A good suggestion is to preset reminders on your iPhone. Remember, you are in essence training your brain - just as you would train for a race. Regular practice offers profound benefits. ​

But what is the actual cost to our health and happiness?   

It is now medically proven that stress can accumulate in the body, and the long-term effects can create anxiety, depression, impaired memory, impaired concentration, digestive issues, heart disease, sleep difficulties, and even weight gain.  Now more than ever, it is critical that we find new ways to cope with reducing stress in our life.  The first three considerations of lowering stress are to eat healthy, exercise, and get adequate sleep - but additionally, meditation is a viable method of stress reduction according to the Mayo Clinic.

Cultural currency - Why meditation offers extraordinary benefits.

Written by Lorraine Alexander

How to re-wire your brain for happiness.

Over the past five decades, we have witnessed the lifestyle of an average American changing at lightning speed, in most cases for the better. Yet through our evolution and progress, many of us now find something very important is missing.  In our haste to keep up the pace, we have lost the ability to relax, to be comfortable in our own skin, to connect with others - and more importantly, we've lost the ability to reconnect with ourselves and nature.
