Happy Holidays to You and Yours! I hope you are enjoying this special time of the year! This has certainly been an intense year for so many, in a variety of ways. And for many their health and well-being have been affected. Now more than ever it is truly important to lovingly take care of ourselves to the best of our ability.
The medicinal benefits of meditation and yoga are now firmly established in scientific literature. One of the latest studies to emerge on the matter comes from Harvard researchers working at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). They determined that meditation literally rebuilds the brain’s grey matter in just eight weeks.

Self-love is not only seen as core component of our emotional well-being, it is also as a protective factor that contributes to better health and positive social behavior. It protects against the impact of negative influences. It is seen to actively promote healthy functioning as reflected in life aspects such as achievements, success, satisfaction, and the ability to cope with diseases like cancer and heart disease.
