Summary

Meditation to calm your mind as you walk, or as you sit in your meditation space. In this guided meditation you'll connect with your environment as you experience your surroundings using all your senses. As always, it's not necessary to do any of the meditation techniques -- they are simply to help you focus your mind and calm your body. The information shared is based on the best selling book, "Staying Focused in a Hyper World," by internationally acclaimed relationship expert, Dr. John Gray. 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 7 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. As always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.
