Episode Synopsis

How do you deal with stress and anxiety in your life? Do you listen to music, do art, exercise, something else? All of those activities help distract our mind at the moment for sure. They also require that you stop what you’re doing and devote some quality time to the activity which may only work while you’re actually doing it.
Meditation is a practice that you can do anywhere, anytime, and doesn’t require that you interrupt what you’re doing, change your clothes, either go outside or take a break from your work, and has long-term benefits.

Mindfulness and meditation instructor, Anne-Marie Emanuelli at Mindful Frontiers, leads students and individuals in guided meditation practices that help build resilience in everyday life. Meditation is a centuries-old practice that has been proven to soothe stress and anxiety by bringing our moment-to-moment attention to what is actually happening in the present moment, and in doing so, we move reactions from the limbic part of the brain to the frontal cortex where logic and reason can take place.
