Spoiler, they all became “younger” and measurably healthier. We talk extensively about the mind-body connection and how stress can impact health and longevity. She schools us in the power of language especially when it comes to chronic disease. This is a rare experience to learn from someone who has devoted her life to the transformative power of mindfulness and its impact on health and aging.Her latest book, The Mindful Body is available now.Mindfulness (25th anniversary edition) (A Merloyd Lawrence Book)On Becoming an Artist: Reinventing Yourself Through Mindful Creativity https://www.ellenlanger.me/
