Our bodies respond to the thoughts in our head. We make choices because of our thoughts. And if we have a scary thought, we feel fear. If our thoughts are angry in nature, we feel anger. If we have worrying thoughts, we feel stressed and anxious. If they are positive, we feel good and happy.

We think reality effects our thoughts, but it is our thoughts that create our reality. Most of us simply have an untrained mind. Our mind is our master. The ego runs the show.

In this podcast, I talk about how our higher self can take back the reins of our mind. I discuss how our egos took control in the first place and the sneaky tricks it uses to hold on to power. And I share some simple solutions for taming the mind so that it becomes our loyal, helpful companion instead of our moody, needy, and impulsive boss.

Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living. Remember to subscribe to stay up-to-date.
