The collective consciousness is heavily dominated by fear, insecurity and anxiety these days. Compulsively tuning in to the news makes it difficult to maintain our equanimity. It’s more important than ever to keep our bodies and minds in balance. Regular exercise, healthy eating and getting enough sleep are all key aspects of properly caring for ourselves. Most important of all, is keeping a watchful eye on our thoughts. Our peace of mind depends upon balancing fear and negativity with a daily practice that counteracts the bad news and serves as an elixir for our well-being…

Gratitude is that balm.
