Meditation - It does the brain and body good

I have recently started meditating. I have found it to be very freeing. Your thoughts become clearer. You can focus your attention at the task at hand and I tend to do the worry or over-think thing less. I am going through a guided session at the moment from. Oprah and Deepak Chopra are my guides.

But there are multiple ways that you can get started there is also https://www.headspace.com/ that comes very recommended and yes there is an app for that as well. 

According to the small amount of research I have done on the subject daily meditation can reduce stress, help you have more empathy, make memorization easier, additional focus, less anxiety, more calm, less pain. 

Here is an article that I found interesting as to why some of the changes happen from Psychology today.

That's all for today. 

Namaste,

Vocal Warmups

Celine Dion gives her basic warmup and explains to Larry King why she does so I thought it entertaining so I share this short clip here.

There are lots of good videos online that can help you with vocal warmups as well. But even Celine Dion recommends having a vocal coach.
