Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter

Life moves in cycles. It is the nature of all things. We live in cycles with the sun, the moon, and the seasons. Our life moves in phases from infancy through old age. We have times of high energy, low energy, emotional highs and emotional lows. This is the nature of being human.When we spend our whole life engaged in doing things, we fail to understand how these bodies of ours operate. It's like we're strapped into a rollercoaster and we have no choice but to go along for the ride without any control or influence on the journey. When we start to pay attention and notice the patterns and cycles, we can prepare for those twists and turns, and even begin to know how to effect them.In today's podcast, I talk about what to do when we have a low day, why we have low days, and what we can do to prevent them from happening in the first place.I discuss ways to understand our natural cycles and rhythms. I share how we can deal with the lows, reduce the number of lows, and lift the base of our rollercoaster's platform so that the lows aren't so low and the highs are even higher.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.
