Welcome to episode 2807 of your daily meditation podcast. I'm Mary Mechley, and I welcome you to day three of this week's

special series where we have the opportunity to hear an interview by Dr. Kourish Madaki. He is a noted, celebrated,

dentist who is located in Beverly Hills, California, and his mission in life is to help people to feel better about their

smiles. And one way of doing this is to support your microbiome, which starts in your mouth. Dr. Madaki has been

featured on many notable news sources such as ABC, CNN, Oprah, so many other news sources, extreme makeover, entertainment tonight,

and on and on. And one reason why he's featured on these series is because his approach is unique. He likes to empower people to release their toxic

overload, and most importantly to do this by using your body's natural defenses. This is a way to experience whole body health,

and we're following along with his book called the toxic overload, the truth about your body's natural defenses, and how to

experience whole body health. He has in this book a 30 day plan to a healthy lifestyle. And one thing that

stands out about this book is that he does have a plan that's easy to follow. He recommends doing one small thing

each day so that you don't feel overwhelmed by this process. You may love some of the products you use, and you find out

they have toxins, and it can take a while to find a replacement. And you may even pick your poison to where you might

know that you are using some toxic products, but in the rest of your life, you really try to

decrease and diminish your exposure to toxins. I am excited to share with you a breathing technique,

and this is a technique that you can do on a regular basis. It's a powerful breathing technique and a fellow

meditator, Marjorie from New York. Marjorie has been suffering from back pain for years. It's to the point where she has

sleeping, walking, sitting, standing. You might be able to relate, because back pain is one of the

top physical ailments worldwide. So I want to share with you a meditation technique I shared with her.

And it goes hand in hand with what Dr. Medahi had to say about how we often store up these toxins,

whether it's from a product or from a relationship or a situation in our life or from toxic thoughts.

They often stem from past experiences, and I shared with you in yesterday's episode the affirmation that he uses on a regular basis,

especially during challenging times of his life. And it is a simple affirmation you could likely memorize and use day after day
