One morning, I was walking toward the meditation hall for our morning meditation when a flower bud fell from an oleander branch. I had seen flowers fall many times before, but this time, as I walked peacefully and mindfully, the falling bud registered deeply in my mind. A flower doesn’t have to be fully bloomed or withered in order to fall, I remembered. Even a bud—barely opened—can be shaken loose if a strong wind comes along. A flower can fall at any stage of its life. With deep awareness, though, the simple fact of life’s inherent impermanence can be a…

Women often wear “high-performing” like a badge of honor, priding themselves on maintaining a high level of intensity and adapting to whatever the day throws their way. I see this type of client every day in my health practice. Accomplished women at the peak of their careers meeting the demands of work, managing childcare, and keeping a household running.  For most of their lives, striving harder has always been the solution. But then midlife arrives and suddenly the demands start to take a toll. At the exact moment when the world asks more of them, fluctuating hormones start to lower…

September 2001. I’m a third-generation advertising guy, nearing 40, recently married, going bald, and just fit enough to get by. By day I work as an art director at a big-name agency; by morning, I meditate—rhythm of breath steadying me amid Manhattan’s roar. Six years sober in a Twelve Step community, where the faces are as familiar as family. Just another Tuesday: coffee on my breath, subway air thick with pastry and steel. On my way to work, I overhear strange conversations in the subway car concerning extraordinary events happening on the streets above. Whispers turn urgent, phones appear in…

Summary: I’m a side sleeper who thought I preferred a firm mattress until I met PlushBeds. After sleeping on PlushBeds’ Signature Bliss Mattress for a year and a half, I’ve noticed a significant increase in the quality of my rest, relief from aches and pains, and a notable decrease in motion transfer between my partner and me. With a three-inch plush pillow top made with GOTS-certified organic cotton and GOLS-certified organic latex, silk, and cashmere, sleeping on our PlushBeds mattress feels like pure luxury. What I Love:  PlushBeds Signature Bliss PillowTop Mattress provides two different firmness options – medium, medium…

I almost definitely notice breathing more than the average person. As a functional medicine doctor, I’ve learned that even the details patients think are insignificant can offer valuable information when you’re trying to understand what may be driving their symptoms. I might notice someone’s breathing become faster or shallower as we move into a difficult part of their story. I might see their shoulders rise with every breath or realize that most of their breathing seems to be happening in their chest. And sometimes, I notice the exact same thing happening in my own body. There’s a lot we can…

Originally posted on Thomas’ website Our individual healing is magnified when we share our vulnerabilities – our emotions, narrative, and experiences – in the presence of others. Our embodied witnessing enhances the healing power. Today, we have an urgent need to move away from Western paradigms based on hyper-individualism, which has been over-emphasized in the past decades. In recent years we have seen an increasing interest in collective healing, which has been fueled by our technological connectivity, which has transformed our world, when used well, into a global village. Virtual meetings enable us to create and grow social healing environments not bound…
