In one sentence: follow your breathing to your heart and dwell there - for a few moments or minutes if possible. Notice how everything eases: your mind, your body, your face.

Instead of just gutting it out or going into some form of creative denial, what if we embraced the crises in our lives and actually utilized them for the incredible growth opportunities that they are?

Instead of trying to get something from your practice, use your yoga or your meditation to practice expressing how you see and value yourself.

Jaycee Dugard's face is everywhere this week. I've been thinking a lot about her story, because of the similarities to the Etan Patz case, which I've spent the last five years living and breathing for the first-ever book written on it.

Every time I take the time to open myself as a conduit for the healing of my own heart and the heart of the world, I am quietly uplifted and fully recharged.

Have you ever felt angry or resentful but have been unable to express it? Perhaps you were fearful of what the consequences may be.

Resentment builds up when we are not real with the people in our lives. It is that which is left unsaid that causes resentment -- little things that pile on top of each other.

When I see Father of the Bride on the program guide, I cannot resist watching it again. I rely on movies and television to show me, and validate for me, the way life is supposed to be.

Remember, you're only traveling because you've got time on your hands. So relax, take a look around you, and know that what you call a problem now will be a funny story later.

Research is very strong showing that laughter is the best medicine. Yes, life is difficult, especially right now, but laughter and even smiling is so good for you.

Until the profit essence is taken off the table and progressive, prevention-based health care is understood to be a basic public service, there will be no meaningful health care reform in America.

When physicians express caring, empathy, and compassion, the duration and severity of illness are often reduced and the body's immune system is stimulated.

I often tease the husband that over the years of our marriage he fancies that he is a doctor. Well, he was my doctor and guide as I trusted him enough to stop and take time for a holiday.

I've done a little bit of work with soldiers returning from Iraq and have worked with domestic violence shelter workers on issues of vicarious trauma. I've also found in teaching the diverse groups who come for meditation guidance that, as someone once said to me, "There is always trauma in the room."

We in the United States have a health care system that creates (rather than eases) burdens for those battling critical illness. We have it all backwards.
