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 your Headspace on the Headspace app or wherever you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

There's a real kind of sense of the mind expanding and us feeling more connected with the world.

But then something interesting happens after a while.

It almost becomes, I don't know, almost like wrote, you know, you're just sort of saying it but maybe you're not really feeling it.

So I remember going to my teacher and explaining this and he said, you're sure that's common, you know.

He said the best thing to do in this situation is to think of somebody really close to you.

Think of someone who you very easily can conjure up that feeling and think it's in their benefits.
