Description:

“Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being” – Rumi

In October 2015, I experienced the opposite of stillness.  I was rear-ended on an L.A. freeway in an unforgettable cacophony of sounds and movement.  To the surprise of many, I walked away physically unscathed.  But 24 hours later, once the shock and adrenaline wore off, I realized I had a concussion. 

This car accident occurred 3 months after I completed my Ph.D. in Neuroscience where I spent 5 years studying traumatic brain injury – specifically, concussions.  Ah the irony!  My understanding of what was going on inside my brain quelled any fear, but the journey to feeling whole again was a great challenge – one that continues today.

I now refer to my accident as an ‘expansion experience’.  I am part of the TBI community in a way I never was before.  This experience allowed me to access greater levels of compassion and understanding so that I can more effectively engage, connect and inspire healing in the lives of others.  Yoga and meditation were critical for me to get through the day, so I trust that it will profoundly affect your beautiful brain as well. 

May this meditation serve as a gateway to stillness – allowing you to experience deeper peace, love, and self-realization.
