I can't quiet my mind. I can't meditate! I hear that all the time especially from my clients. They just don't get it, it is kind of out there in the foo-foo world so no one really understands it. I believe there are a lot of myths that surround meditation. You have to be the guru on the mountain in order to do this. You have to clear your mind...yea right! What is meditation? How can I do it? There are ways that it can be done in our busy schedule because it is important to our health. Let's bring it down to earth and understand. Join me...

What is normal? A lot of clients come to me and tell me they just want to be normal. Compared to what? Who defines what normal is? Is there a set of standards?
