For my birthday, I wanted to bring one of my circling ideas to life! Being inspired by the fantasy I've been reading, I wanted to combine the creative wanderings with meditation. So here is a yoga nidra ("yogic sleep") practice to help bring you some deep relaxation as you wander through the Enchanted Forest in your mind.

I’ve gotten about 5 different emails with the subject line “new year, new you”: each one of them trying to sell me something that will…turn me into a different person? What if, instead, we took a moment to appreciate the parts of ourselves we actually like — parts that we’ve already improved? Join me in a body scan and a contemplative meditation on finding things your proud of yourself for this year. Find us online at www.thestillness.co Find us on Insta at @thestillnessco

You can begin this meditation laying down or seated. This will help to give you a boost of energy in the form of JOY.

In this episode, Sam and Alex interview Bradford Glass, author of "Living Authentically in a World That Would Rather You Didn't". Brad tells us how he lived the corporate lifestyle until about the age of 50, and took a turn for the best. Now, he coaches people on how to break through the programming that so many of us are born into and shows us how to think and live for ourselves. You can reach Brad at www.roadnottaken.com and find his book on his website and at the Mashpee Common's Bookstore.
