We all struggle with anger at times, or have someone close to us who does. It can be be difficult to manage, can affect our lives in all kinds of negative ways and just plain doesn't feel good. So what can we do to better manage it? 
Or better yet, stop anger from happening in the first place...

Enter Dr. Mort Orman, who himself struggled with anger for years. As a busy MD he saw first hand the direct effects that anger had on his patients and noticed the terrible ways it was affecting his own life, so he decided to do something about it. 

In this interview Dr. Mort openly shares his own struggles with anger and how it led him to discover the methods that he first applied in his own life and now shares in his books and workshops helping his clients heal and resolve anger for good, completely transforming their lives and totally changing how they feel. 

In the episode we get into: 
The difference between anger management and anger eliminationWhy the traditional methods of anger management aren't enoughThe questions to ask that will dissolve anger when you feel itThe two internal things that happen that cause anger within usHow the lenses that we view things affect the way we experience and react to lifeThe "fake news" our brain creates and why it does itWhy missing information causes anger and how to stop jumping to conclusionsWhy righteousness is often an element in anger and how it provides an adrenaline rushThe relationship between anger and delivering punishmentWhen anger can actually be a good thingHow our culture supports angerHow eliminating anger changed Mort's life and how it can change yoursHow modeling anger elimination can help our kidsThis episode was so enlightening and really got to the core root of why anger happens. When we understand the source within ourselves, then we can find the path to heal and transform.

Sometimes starting something like meditation can seem overwhelming, or too time consuming. That's where Ann Swanson and mini meditations come in. Life these days is busy, and to fit something else in can feel like a big ask. What if you could do meditations anywhere, anytime? What is those meditations instantly made you feel better? At peace, calm and like the best version of yourself? 
And what if it all felt easy and actually helped you create MORE time in your life? 

That's what Ann's meditation approach is all about. Her beautiful voice alone invoked huge calm and ease, and our conversation dove into allll the objections to meditation and all the questions about how and why it works so well. 

In the episode we get into: 
How meditation actually creates MORE timeThe science behind yoga and meditation and why they help so muchUsing meditation in everyday life and everywhere you goMeditations for stress, sports, relationships, dating, kids, work - anything!How to customize what's the best way for you to meditate and what areas it can help you withWhat exactly are mini meditations and why they're so effectiveHow the brain's state changes while you're meditatingDo you need to let go of thoughts in meditation? I've been a huge proponent of meditation for a while, but I still learned so much in this conversation! The big take away - make meditation work for you and you always can find a minute or two. Just breathe deep and feel the calm sink in.

In this episode, we totally break with tradition and have shared the raw, unfiltered version with you. When I went back to edit, there was just too much amazing background  conversation that I really wanted to share.

Kimberly Braun had been a guest previously. As a TED X speaker, mystic, teacher, author, former nun, minister, and so much more, we had a heart expanding conversation on episode #66 that ended up talking about her experience with chanting.
I've been curious about chanting for a while and really wanted to go deeper with this, so asked her to come back on the show and share some chants with us.

As we prepared, we ended up talking in beautiful detail  about what the chants mean, the history and origin of each chant and the best way to experience them. 

So not only will you get the opportunity to experience several different kind of chants, but you'll have some further insight into what feelings they may evoke and what the intentions were behind them.

What a beautiful gift for Kimberly to come back and share this with us. I really leaned in to the feelings and experience and loved every minute. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
