Summary

Meditation to stay focused in a hyper world based on the best selling book, "Staying Focused in a Hyper World," by internationally acclaimed relationship expert, Dr. John Gray. You are guided in a meditation using a powerful affirmation to focus your thoughts, "I am Safe. I am Calm. All Good Things Come To Me." This is an affirmation from Swami Kriyananda. You'll also discover Dr. Gray's findings on how reducing oxidative stress helps your brain work better. You'll learn why oxidative stress may be contributing to brain health issues such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Every day this week you'll explore a meditation technique to focus your mind customized on one of the core principles Dr. Gray shares in his book, "Staying Focused In A Hyper World." One of the greatest benefits of meditation is that it helps you focus your thoughts so you can live your life more fully. This is part 1 of a 7-Part Meditation Series For Focus, Episodes 457-463. You can find out more about Dr. John Gray and his book, as well as all the meditation techniques shared in this week's series at www.SipandOm.com.
