Hey everyone, my name is Rosie and I'm one of the new hosts of Radio Headspace.

I'm an author and a yoga meditation teacher and my new episodes are debuting February of next year.

I can't wait to share them with you.

In the meantime, I'd like to let you know about a new show from Headspace Studios called Dear Headspace.

It's a call and advice show where Headspace teachers answer questions each week about anything and everything.

We talk about family, relationships, mindfulness and so much more.

You can find Dear Headspace on the Headspace app or wherever you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

That's based here. Hi, I'm Andy and welcome to Radio Headspace. I'm defrauding morning.

I don't know what you plan for the weekend but my hope is there's a little bit of space in there. And I say that because I feel very often during the week we are running at such a pace that we don't actually even give ourselves time to sort of feel what we're feeling.

A few days back I was at the dentist and I was just getting settled in the chair and I was having a conversation with the dentist who knew dentist.

She was getting everything sort of ready and she said, oh she says your voice is so relaxing.

I don't know why she makes me feel really sleepy. Now those are not the words you want to hear from a dentist holding a drill.

No matter how you put it in your mouth. So at this point obviously when this happens it's fairly clear that they use Headspace.

This is less about the voice. It's more about a sound that they associate with a time of relaxation and a time of letting go.

And whether it's a particular voice, whether it's a particular piece of music, it might be a particular smell.

I'd smell a fresh cut grass or the ocean. I feel like the pace at which we move in life, the brain, the mind is making those connections.

It's giving us an opportunity to connect with our emotions, with our feelings and our relationship with the world around us.

But somehow the mind, the thinking mind is running so fast we kind of skip right past it.

And even through the lens of mindfulness I feel like the way it's often sort of taught is that somehow it's wrong to take time to simply sit with our feeling.

That somehow that doesn't compute with this idea of being present in the moment.

We can be present in the moment with a particular feeling.

We don't necessarily have to get into lots of commentary around the event that it reminds us of.
