What would our lives be like if “Mindfulness” was like taking vitamins?

For many of us, taking a few vitamins have become a part of our daily routine.  It’s become as regular as clockwork.  You may take a specific combination that has been customized to fit your physical needs and belief systems.  Do we know the impact they might be having on our body? You may have some testing done […]

Are you overlooking the obvious?

The beginning of a new year is often a time that we take stock of what we have accomplished in the previous year. It is also a time that we commit to changes that we want to implement in our lives as well as resetting goals for the year to come. We reflect on what has […]
