    • "People think they are too busy to meditate... You know we're talking about your brain right?"
  • Emily was on Broadway for 10 years... Living in constant state of anxiety... Sick, insomnia, was miserable.
    • She noticed another performer had none of those issues.  She asked what she did and found out meditation was the key...

  • It's about manifesting "consciously creating the life you love"
