Stress is said to be the number 1 killer of this century by the American Psychological Association, but like any villain in life’s journey, it has a soft spot and we can gain much more by befriending it rather than fighting it.
Science shows us incredible evidence about how stress works and successful techniques to overcome it, which is now merging with the teachings of ancient traditions through the millennia.
Ageless wisdom shows us how the villains in our lives are our biggest teachers. Shifting perspective and optimizing our lifestyles is the path to true freedom. Through challenges we can grow, find the hidden treasures, and discover that the highest power dwells within.
