What this episode covers

Dina’s work focuses on helping people use short, focused meditation to improve their lives, health, and mindset. Dina Proctor, author of Madly Chasing Peace, wants you to meditate in short bursts: just three minutes, three times a day. Dina was battling clinical depression, planning her suicide and dealing with alcohol addiction when she began to sit still and focus on her breathing for just a few minutes a day. After eight weeks, that nagging inner voice in her head was gone and she was able to focus on every activity at hand. She found that inner peace and wisdom, and wants to show you how to do the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg3HSjIYw3U Quotes: “Anything we want to manifest in our external world starts within.
