Tom Cronin: When we start meditating we start transcending the current status quo that's inside our programmed head. We are very deeply conditioned and programmed to think in a particular way. When you start meditating you start questioning some of those programs and you start breaking free of that structure that has been sort of in a constant loop inside your head and the collective head of the society's minds, and that's where we are going to start to see systems change coming through, once the collective starts changing their minds individually.

Lynne Malcolm: Hi, it's All in the Mind on RN, I'm Lynne Malcolm. Today, the potential of meditation and mindfulness for the greater good of society.

Daniel Berry: A lot of the qualities of attention that mindfulness has been linked to were really related to this feeling empathy for other people, and I thought maybe mindfulness might enhance this feeling for others because they were feeling compassion.

Lynne Malcolm: That's Daniel Berry, Assistant Professor of Psychology at California State University, San Marcos. We'll hear later about his research on whether mindfulness training can promote pro-social behaviour.

Now let's enter The Portal. It's a book and film which explores the power of meditation for the world, through the personal stories of individuals moving through crisis. Tom Cronin and Jacqui Fifer are co-writers of The Portal.

Tom Cronin: Rather than telling you how to transform, we show you how people have transformed. You go on a journey with six people that have all gone through their own personal crisis and transformation, showing that each and every one of us has that capacity to do that. So it's quite an immersive journey of exploration through other people's stories.

Jacqui Fifer: Yes, it's an experience of the role that crisis plays in our evolution, and we are looking at it on a really personal level but against a global backdrop of a species and a system that is evolving at the moment and the role that we personally play in that process.

Lynne Malcolm: Earlier in his life, Tom Cronin spent 26 years as a broker in finance, trading bonds. But then things began to change for him personally, and eventually motivated him to begin a meditation movement called the Stillness Project, and then to produce The Portal.

Tom Cronin: Well, many years ago I had my own personal crisis. This was back when I was a broker, and the first 10 years of that was kind of clichd Wolf of Wall Street style, lots of drinking and drugs and partying and lots of money and a very frenetic job. I had been experiencing through particular lifestyle habits and choices some serious ramifications which was extreme stress response in my body, so a lot of anxiety, depression, insomnia, even agoraphobia. I had to leave work for a period of time, and was in quite a dark place, really struggling with finding any sort of hope and passion in life.

And I discovered meditation by default or by the universe organising it but it really was a transformational experience for me and I noticed very quickly all of those anomalies, those symptoms dropped away quite quickly, and meditation played a significant role in redirecting my life and I became so passionate about wanting to share that with the world that I founded the Stillness Project, but also felt compelled to use other mediums to get that powerful message of how good meditation can be to redirect our life and transform our lives. So that's when the film and the book started to morph as an idea.

Lynne Malcolm: In The Portal, Tom Cronin and co-writer Jacqui Fifer describe the world as being in a unique developmental stage of evolution.

Jacqui Fifer: That's the way I'm looking at it, so that helps me stay excited about it rather than feel hopeless, which I think a lot of people are feeling at the moment when we look outside and we see the news and we wonder what the hell is going on, what does the future hold for us, all of us, and is there even time to make a difference. And I think that one of the things that I think is interesting about meditation is that it allows you an opportunity to see beyond the current set of circumstances. It's a space of creation. So I think we are really needing to create a whole different system and innovate. We've got the technology now to be able to do it but in ways that we've never actually expanded that far before, and using all of these tools, I think that's really the pathway.

Lynne Malcolm: Tom, it's talked about that we are at a tipping point in the world. What are the main concerns?

Tom Cronin: Yes, I like the way Daniel Schmachtenberger expresses it in the film as a phase shift, the point that we are at, where we are seeing exponential levels of improvement. We are also seeing exponential levels of decay. The main concern is that if we don't shift our state of consciousness which will lead to a shift in the way we lead our lives and the physicalities of the way we live our lives and all the physical dilemmas that we are facing, then what could potentially prevail would possibly be an eradication of the species, being the human species. We lose up to 10,000 species a year at the moment on the planet and there's no reason why, with our current actions and our current trajectory, if we don't make some changes then that that could be a human one as well. But we are very excited about the possibility of there being a dramatic shift to improving things on the planet, with humans in it.

Lynne Malcolm: You mentioned Daniel Schmachtenberger, and he was one of the people that you've interviewed, he is a philosopher. Tell me about his take on where we are at and what are some of the solutions?

Tom Cronin: He does say in a very non-judgemental way that it can go either way; to a higher level of order or to a lower level of chaos. And so the way we can move through that ultimately, like he says, is challenging the systems, shifting our state of consciousness, shifting our state of mind. It's the state of mind that created the problem and it's going to be the state of mind that's going to solve the problem, and that's why I come from the perspective of we need to get people meditating because when we start meditating we start transcending the current status quo that's inside our programmed head. When you start meditating you start questioning some of those programs and you start breaking free of that structure that has been in a constant loop inside your head and the collective head of the society's minds, and that's where we're going to such see systems change coming through, once the collective starts changing their minds individually.

Lynne Malcolm: The Portal features the ideas and work of nine people. Some are experts in their field and others tell their personal stories. One of these which really moved producer Jacqui Fifer is the story of Due Quach.

Jacqui Fifer: Due's family were refugees from Vietnam. Obviously that was a challenging time, the refugee experience, but they were also dealing with persecution, being from Chinese extraction in Vietnam, so it's a long-term feeling of displacement in your country. So then she grew up in a new country with that same sense of displacement in quite a violent area, with parents who were trying to adapt culturally, wanted their children to assimilate, didn't even really want to teach them their native language so that they would not grow up speaking with an accent, like really, really mindful of how do I create the best opportunities for my children in this new land of opportunity.

So they were in an area that was quite violent and a lot of drugs, so she was exposed to a lot of stuff as a young girl, but studied and got a scholarship to Harvard, and everything came to a head in Harvard and she had a bit of a breakdown. And then she decided to teach herself neuroscience to heal her brain from the developmental trauma she was experiencing. So I just think in terms of somebody who's been through so much and who has such a high performance kind of a mindset that no matter what is going on and how deep you get, what are the ways that I can get myself out of this?

And she has got a really nice knack of just being able to talk through some of the really everyday strategies that she had, like trying to get herself switched into a more positive frame of mind rather than negative, listening to jokes, listening to more positive music, watching comedies, justit seems funny to say it but that was allowing her to activate her brain in a different way that it hadn't been activated. And all of that experience, and being a first-generation college student she is now implementing that in the work that she does with people who come from similar kinds of communities, so I really love the loop that she's done on that.

Lynne Malcolm: And another person you spoke to was Amandine Roche and she's worked with people in Afghanistan. Tell me about her.

Tom Cronin: She was a United Nations human rights lawyer and was doing great work with the UN but noticing herself and her colleagues were all incredibly stressed with trauma and PTSD from the environments that they were working in. So she started to realise that how can she simply go about as United Nations peacekeeper when she doesn't experience inner peace. So she developed the Inner Peacekeeping Program, which was a strategy to enable those peacekeepers to start having their own inner peace using meditation and yoga and mindfulness practices.

And from there she realised that the change that she was bringing into people's lives was much more impacting through her meditation and yoga than through her lawyer practice, so she actually became, by default, a yoga meditation teacher and is now primarily focusing on that work with very challenging environments. She says most of Afghanistan is experiencing PTSD right now and we have to start working through that by helping them get free of those challenges.

Lynne Malcolm: The personal stories told in the book The Portal have a common thread. The people have found a way through some sort of personal crisis using meditation.

So, Tom Cronin, is facing adversity necessary to experience some sort of life transformation?

Tom Cronin: It's certainly not necessary because many people have become enlightened without crisis. But if there is crisis, then what is it there for? What is the way through it and what do we learn from it? If we keep banging our head against the wall, eventually we're going to think this is really painful and maybe I should try something different. This is what crisis is, it's a cue for change. And there's a beautiful quote; suffering is proportional to our resistance to change, and happiness is proportional to our ability to embrace change.

We don't need to get to that breaking point for change, we can deviate and navigate an alternative route before we even get to crisis, and that's where becoming more conscious enables us to be more intuitive about the path that we are walking, and that alleviates the need for these major catalytic events in our lives to give us some guidance or cue for something different. So if we are in crisis then we have to start looking within ourselves and asking what is this teaching me, what am I here to learn, what is the point of this?

Lynne Malcolm: So you've talked about the power of meditation to save the planet. How have each of these people that you featured in the film felt that they've contributed to the greater good, the collective, to save our planet?

Tom Cronin: I was always taught, and I'm a strong believer in this, that the greatest gift we can give to the world is the reduction of our own suffering and an experience of happiness, first and foremost. And one thing that we see firstly happen in all of their lives is they've gone from that place of turmoil and conditioning and deep scarring from their upbringings to a much lighter place, a much more conscious place, a much kinder place of living. And that's the first step in the process, is to transform their own inner world and not be bound and attached to the past and affected by the scars of the past.

The next step tends to be something as a natural unfolding, and we are seeing that in quite a few of these people in the stories, that they are naturally compelled then to want to share that with the world. And so from there they feel this compulsion to start running programs and writing books and creating retreats and things like that, so a lot of them have moved into that space now, doing phenomenal things in the world.

Jacqui Fifer: It's the 'me to we', isn't it.

Lynne Malcolm: Yes, so how does that experience of interconnectedness build through individuals practising mindfulness and meditation? How does it go from the individual to the planet, the greater collective?

Tom Cronin: The only way we really are going to get the shifts happening is individually, but collectively through the individuals. So it's a one by one process. Multiply that into 100,000, 1 million, 1 billion and 7 billion, that's when we are going to start to see major systems changes, major collective shifts on the planet.

Lynne Malcolm: Some would argue that sometimes passively focusing inwards may prevent people from effective action for change, that individuals meditating is not enough, that action needs to be made as well.

Tom Cronin: It definitely needs to be twofold. Where meditation is the great starting pointand the analogy like to use when they get asked this question is the same thing that happens when we get notified when the plane is about to go down, that you must put your face mask on first before you put someone else's on. When you are stressed, angry, tired, worn out and affected by scars of the past, your capacity for leverage in creating change in people's lives is quite limited, so it must start with the individual first to find that inner peace, to find that connection, to find that infinite unconditional source of love and light and compassion really gives us greater leverage and greater scope to create greater change in other people's lives.

Jacqui Fifer: I think there's a default through these processors to want to touch other people, to want to expand beyond your own individual experience, and that probably involves diving deep and going to places where internallyexploring parts of you that you maybe weren't super comfortable with. If you are meditating and maybe not doing the rest of the work, I wonder whether you could get stuck in that phase.

Lynne Malcolm: Jacqui Fifer, director and co-writer along with Tom Cronin of the book and film The Portal which explores the potential collective good that can come from individual's practice of mediation.

You're with All in the Mind on RN, I'm Lynne Malcolm.

Whilst scientific research into the effect that meditation has on individuals is still in its infancy, more and more scientists are now exploring this field.

Daniel Berry is Assistant Professor of Psychology at California State University, San Marcos. His research investigates whether training in mindfulness meditation could promote pro-social feelings and behaviour. He explains his recent series of experiments to Diane Dean.

Daniel Berry: We brought college students into the lab, and they thought they were participating in a study about how social interaction over the internet was influenced by being actively engaged. So we had them listen to either a mindfulness audio recording, it was about 10 minutes long, or various controls. In some studies we used a relaxation recording where they did progressive muscle relaxation, and in others we just had them focus their attention.

After that we had them watch an online ball tossing game that was played by other people, but in reality there was no other people there, the whole thing is staged. They see some avatars on a computer monitor in front of them tossing this ball around, and after a couple of seconds one of the three avatars is completely excluded from the game.

Immediately after that we take a couple of measurements from them, and one of them we just tell them, 'Why don't we have you write some emails to the other players, and they are going to receive them at the end of the study.' So people usually end up saying something about the ostracism, they might say something really mean to the perpetrators of the ostracism, or they might do something really nice and try to comfort the person, the victim who was ostracised. And we have condition blind raters code them. So people who are not involved in the study and they don't know what experimental conditions folks received.

And right after that we have them join in on the game. We just simply counted the number of throws that the participant gives to the person who was just excluded, and what we found in this research across several studies is that even brief mindfulness training promotes helping behaviour toward these people who are ostracised. They write them more comforting emails and they also throw the ball to them more in the game.

But another important key here is we also measured this ability to feel for and feel as the other person does. In our field we call them something else, they are called compassion and personal distress or empathic distress. So we measured these two emotions and they can tell us a little bit about the motivation that the person was feeling. If they are feeling compassion, it seems like they were more focused on the person's predicament, they wanted to help them, they were concerned for them. And if they are feeling empathic distress, this is feeling as another person is. And sometimes this can be kind of tricky if we are feeling as another person is, we might confuse that for our own pain and it's not the pain of the other, when it's really all about the other person's pain. And what we found was, yes, the people who were in the mindfulness condition were more helpful, but by measuring these emotions we also found that they were more helpful because they were feeling compassion. Or in other words they were feeling for the person, the ostracism victim.

Diane Dean: Quite a significant problem for society is how to assist the underprivileged, the unemployed or the homeless. Often these groups rely on the work of charities. Can mindfulness training promote more consideration of these particular groups?

Daniel Berry: We tested something similar to that in my dissertation research, although it doesn't get at it specifically. And actually don't know if the results are all that positive. In my dissertation we had graduate students train in either four-day mindfulness training or four-day sham mindfulness training. We told them that they were meditating but we gave them simpler instructions that didn't guide their attention through meditation experiences. So what they were doing instead, we might say stuff like; just take deep breaths as we sit in meditation.

And before and after they did this training, we actually measured them using end-of-day surveys. So before they went to bed at night they filled out social interactions that they had with strangers, and we recorded the race of stranger who they said they interacted with. And some of the interactions that they could check off were helping behaviours, like offering up money to a stranger. We also measured things like positive interactions, so maybe smiling at a stranger, and also negative interactions, making a gesture at somebody on the interstate or on the highway while they cut you off, things like that, ways that we typically interact with strangers on the day to day.

But right now it is looking like mindfulness training doesn't seem to boost these helping behaviours that are more spontaneous out in the real world. So there's not really a difference between mindfulness and sham meditation, at least what I'm seeing in my data from my dissertation. So I think that could speak a little bit to this idea about offering up help to people who are homeless, but I don't know if anything has been done on that quite yet, and our results really can't speak directly to that because, again, we don't know the status of the people who they were interacting with, their social class, whether or not they were homeless or if they had a home.

Diane Dean: You've also been doing some research on resilience in the face of social threat, a situation which can involve a certain degree of anticipated behaviour. Can mindfulness training help to build resilience in the face of social threat, or ostracism?

Daniel Berry: Sure, and one way that we've studied this is actually really similar to the one study I just told you about. Instead of having our participants watch somebody else being ostracised, we had them experience ostracism in the same way. They were thrown into a ball tossing game thinking that they were playing with other people, and in reality they weren't and they were excluded from that game by the other two software generated players. And ostracism is a really important social threat because if we are ostracised by the group, that could have several implications other than just hurt feelings. We may not have access to the resources of the group any more.

And what we foundwe gave people either, again, brief mindfulness training, 10 minutes, or an attentional control. This brief training in mindfulness, without even knowing that they going to be ostracised of course, seems to reduce the distress response to it. So some ways that we measure this distress, it's all self-report right now but we are looking at their self-esteem after they are ostracised. So people who have just had brief training in mindfulness don't take as big of a hit in their self-esteem as folks who have not had that training. Also we rate people's feelings of belongingness to the group, and it seems like these mindfulness trainees don't experience, again, as big of a hit to their sense of belongingness as people who have not received this training after ostracism.

Diane Dean: So, Daniel Berry, mindfulness can promote empathy, but can it be effective in understanding cultures and groups who are outside our day to day activities? And can this effect be measured neurologically?

Daniel Berry: I'm not just interested in mindfulness can promote empathy toward anybody out there in the world, I'm interested if it can promote empathy in circumstances where it really counts. And more often than not when we are interacting with people outside of our racial category, or it really works with any kind of social category, it could be your political beliefs or even something as simple as the sports team that you pull for, when we are interacting with folks outside of our social category we show them less empathy.

And one thing that we've learned not from our lab of course but from other labs is that when people see faces of others showing pain and neutrality, like a neutral expression, no emotion at all, is that we tend to have a gap of empathy for people outside of our racial category or ethnic category, and we don't have that gap for people inside of our category. For example, if you are a white individual who is seeing a face of a white person showing pain, what these neural signals will show is that you are feeling the pain as if it's you, and we can see that in the EEG.

So what we are looking at right now, and we've finished data collection on this study but we are still analysing it, so I wish I could tell you the results, but we just don't know yet, but the hypothesis is that even just this brief mindfulness training will take away this gap, or in other words we will start to feel as others do regardless of their social category.

Diane Dean: So, the applications of mindfulness are really promising, but is it perhaps over-sold?

Daniel Berry: I'm aware of the hype and am also aware of the concerns about that. I think this happens a lot in some areas of research where a topic really catches fire like mindfulness has in the last couple of decades, and we get to a stage where it seems like some of the effects are not either as strong as we thought they would be or maybe it's that they don't even exist at all, we just got really lucky with those first few studies.

What I will say about this issue of being mindful of this hype about mindfulness is that researchers like myself and colleagues really need to focus on doing high quality work where they are isolating their variables and we are making sure that we are doing the experiments so that we can make causal inferences about mindfulness. So I think the high quality research will continue to come, and it might be that we find that maybe this isn't as beneficial as we once thought, but until we actually continue doing these tests through experiments, we can really say it but we don't really know if that's true.

Lynne Malcolm: Daniel Berry, Assistant Professor of Psychology at California State University, San Marcos, speaking with Diane Dean.

Meditation has been practised for thousands of years in cultures across the world, but it's recently become more popular in modern life, in the western world. Tom Cronin explains why he thinks this is.

Tom Cronin: I think partly because of the need of the time. When we are in a dark room the first thing we go looking for is the light switch, and we have created quite a dark room for ourselves with the way we are living our lives, and so people are looking for tools and devices to try and bring some level of balance back into their life. They are sleeping every night, they are going to the gym, they just can't seem to get beyond the state of overwhelm and anxiety that they are in, and so the next step is to look for something else, and that's the inflection point that we can get to where we can go down that path of drinking and drugs or whatever it is, some level of addiction, all we can go to another path for a tried and tested model that has been around, as you said, for thousands of years, and so it's starting to assimilate into our lives in a much bigger way now, out of need.

Lynne Malcolm: Tom Cronin and Jacqui Fifer are co-writers of the film and book The Portal: How Meditation Can Save the World. What are their hopes for the future of the planet?

Jacqui Fifer: I was talking to somebody about this yesterday. All of the stuff that I see is all about future possibility, it's all about positive tech, it's all about the shifts that can happen in climate, it's all about the technology that already exists that can be rolled out on a wider level to make really, really positive steps. So that's my world and I want to live in that place because that allows me to contribute in the best way that I can.

Lynne Malcolm: And Tom?

Tom Cronin: Look, there's only evolution. My perspective is that everything is evolving. And if it means for a better experience for all sentient beings on the planet, and that must include animals, and I think I would also go as far as the natural world, if that evolution needs to occur without humans destroying things for other species and other sentient beings, then that's evolution if they're in the way and they need to be removed from the process, because it will be so much better if there is an existence on this planet that isn't as destructive. But to include humans in that process, I'm really optimistic as well. I think we are very conscious race that is becoming more conscious, and we just need to really break the shackles of our own individualisation and neediness and start to experience a collective unification and a greater sense of not just collective unification amongst humans but amongst the natural world as well, that's really, really imperative.

Executive Summary

The job search is a process that can be as short as several weeks, or more likely, several months. As with any other process, there are peaks and valleys. One week you have networking meetings and interviews scheduled, people are responding to your emails and you feel encouraged and hopeful then radio silence making you feel confused, frustrated or even helpless. The author offers five strategies for dealing with this emotional roller coaster, including having someone to talk to and engaging in activities like mindful meditation or journaling to help you process emotions as they arise.

Most of us, at some point in our career, will conduct a job search if not several of them. While it can be a time of excitement and hope about new opportunities to come, it can also be a time of great uncertainty and anxiety. Not only will you likely feel the full range of possible emotions during the course of your overall job search, but you may also experience these highs and lows in the span of a single day or week. You might be elated one moment to learn that you are a top candidate for a desired position only to be disappointed to find out that the job went to someone else or perhaps you were unhappy with your performance in a job interview, but were later relieved to learn youve still made it to the next round of interviews.

The job-search process is fraught with ups and downs, not to mention the angst that comes with the uncertainty about the future of your career and livelihood. Here are a few strategies to manage the emotional rollercoaster of the job search:

Know whats coming. The job search is a process that can be as short as several weeks, or more likely, several months. As with any other process, there are peaks and valleys. One week you have networking meetings and interviews scheduled, people are responding to your emails and you feel encouraged and hopeful then radio silence making you feel confused, frustrated or even helpless. Knowing from the start that you will experience these swings in activity and emotion can help prepare you to better anticipate and handle them when they do occur. In particular, when you do encounter the downward part of the cycle, you can say to yourself, I knew there would be days where nothing is happening, and I would feel frustrated, and today is just one of those days. When you know its coming, you will be less surprised or shaken by it, as well as less likely to personalize it, allowing you to rebound and move forward in your search more easily.

Process your emotions. Engaging in activities like mindful meditation or journaling can help you process negative emotions as they arise. In contrast to avoiding, suppressing or ruminating over your emotions which are shown to be correlated to anxiety and depression processing your emotions through mindful meditation or journaling involves actually feeling these emotions more fully. It is this ability to experience our emotions, without judging them or trying to change them, that allows us to move through them more quickly and effectively. In a classic study, unemployed engineers journaled about their thoughts and feelings related to being unemployed for just 20 minutes a day for five days. Eight months later, 52% had found new jobs compared to only 18.6% for the combined control groups. In addition, brief mindful meditation creates improved emotional processing and reduced emotional reactivity and has been shown to enhance our emotional processing, even when were not meditating.

Get support. Having someone to talk to throughout your job search, such as a career coach, therapist or a job-search work group can provide much-needed emotional support, beyond that of friends and family. An experienced career coach who is an expert in the job-search process can also help normalize what you are experiencing and feeling at any given phase of your search and can be a good sounding board to help guide you when you are feeling unsure of yourself or what to do next. As with a coach, a job-search work group can also help you feel a sense of partnership to help mitigate feelings of loneliness that can often arise in a job search, creating a sense of community as well as providing tangible help to advance your search.

Engage in energizing activities. Make sure your days include activities that energize you, such as exercise, listening to your favorite music or some other activity that revitalizes you. Your mood and overall energy level will show in your interactions with others, whether its a coffee meeting with a former colleague, a networking event or a job interview. Exercise, in particular, not only has a positive impact on mood, but also increases self-esteem, sociability, motivation and cognition and can help you be at your best. David, a client of mine, started exercising daily during his job search. He not only lost 15 pounds and three inches from his waist, but also felt mentally and physically stronger, had a greater sense of agency and was more confident going into interviews.

Put things into perspective. Its easy to feel powerless or discouraged when things dont progress in the job search the way we would like. Perhaps a contact hasnt made an important introduction for you yet like she said she would, or a recruiter hasnt gotten back to you in the timeframe he initially indicated. While you can send a friendly reminder, take a step back to think about their other possible existing priorities. Chances are, your job search isnt in their top five priorities on any given day. Seeing this perspective can help de-personalize the situation and mitigate the negative emotions surrounding it.

Roberta, another client of mine, was deeply depressed when her job search hit the one-year mark after she lost her Finance job in the last recession. Her depression, while understandable, created an unproductive cycle of negative thoughts and feelings which kept her paralyzed in her search. I asked her what Roberta 20 years in the future would say about her year of unemployment. Without hesitation, she said, Oh, its a blip. This its a blip perspective allowed Roberta to emerge from her depressed feelings to not only envision a more successful future, but she also was able to move forward much more productively, and ultimately landed another job as a partner at top-performing investment management firm. Feelings are temporary, as are many of the situations that create them (such as a job search). Seeing these challenges as impermanent is a key part of being optimistic, which is associated with higher levels of motivation, achievement, well-being and lower levels of depressive symptoms.

Using the strategies above can help make the inevitable shifts between the highs and lows of the job search more manageable as well as help you to stay motivated and productive for the duration of the ride.

Matthew Morrisons wife Renee has sadly revealed that she suffered a miscarriage.

In a series of Instagram videos posted on Saturday, the mother of one opened up about the experience of losing her unborn child and how meditation has helped her through the tough time.

I found out [I was pregnant] at four weeks and began the cycle of miscarriage on my sixth week, she said. Thats a whole conversation I would love to have but the point of today is to tell you how meditation helped guide me through this journey and this experience.

As she explains, meditation allowed her to rise above those conditioned thoughts that come after experiencing a miscarriage, revealing that he mind raced through myriad possibilities of what could have led to the miscarriage, from a new masseuse to exercising

Despite the harrowing thoughts, Morrison said that her husband asked if she was okay because she remained so calm, somethings she credits mediation for.

Right now, meditation is for me to connect to presence, connect to self, and to give my body gratitude and grace and to, honestly, come back to trusting. Women, I want you to know that I feel you. And, God, you are goddesses. And we all deserve so much acknowledgment and love and support and encouragement.

The Well opened in September in Flatiron and provides members with 360 wellness- workouts, nutritionists and a healthy restaurant out front. Think part co-working space, part luxury gym.

The top floor houses a restaurant and cafe that will be open to the public, along with a small boutique. Downstairs, theres a room covered in plants that looks like a hipster millennials dream apartment.

The plants are thriving, which could be because a plant whisperer sings to them (you'll wish you could bring a plant whisperer home to your sad looking succulents.)

The culinary team then collects herbs from the plant wall to use in teas and food.

Theres also a space for reflexology, rooms for boutique fitness classes, a private gym, a meditation dome, a spa, and a locker room thats a world away from the typical New York City gym offering, complete with Dyson hair dryers and brand new, clean products.

The concept was created by Rebecca Parekh, who was previously the COO for Deepak Chopra. Her co-founders are Kane Sarhan, who previously worked with the fitness-friendly 1 Hotels, and Sarrah Hallock, who was a marketing executive for vitaminwater, Bai and WTRMLN WTR.

Members pay $375 a month for all of the wellness offerings, including book launches, mindful movement classes and monthly one-on-one health coaching. Theres a team of 10 practitioners creating programs and 50 practitioners in total, including massage therapists, vibrational energy healers, and acupuncturists.

Members meet with their health coach to determine their 'path' and then check in with them once a monthas part of their membership. Members are then given a movement and mobility assessment, so class instructors know what type of injuries to look out for, making the classes completely personalized.

It's certainly a cut above a salad at your desk, andThe Well's centrally located space makes it easy to pop in and take a class, get a massage, or simply pick up a juice during your lunch break instead.

Solect Energy installs solar energy system at Daniel L. Joyce Middle School

Woburn Mayor Scott Galvin announced Solect Energy has completed the installation of a 300-kilowatt DC solar energy system on the roof of the Daniel L. Joyce Middle School at 55 Locust St., Woburn. The 798-panel system will reduce the schools price per kilowatt-hour for electricity by 64%, saving about $29,000 in the first year. Over the life of the contract, electric bill savings are projected to be at least $500,000, based on current Eversource electricity rates. If the utilitys rates rise, the savings to the school increase. The renewable energy system will reduce air pollution by avoiding the emission of 580,000 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air per year. Over 20 years, the avoided CO2 emissions equate to that of driving a car 13,450,000 miles. The Joyce Middle School solar energy system is the first of three the city is installing on local schools with Solect Energy, under the PowerOptions consortium program. Solar panels will also be installed on the Hurld-Wyman Elementary School and the Goodyear Elementary School. The solar panels will produce clean energy, which will be used right at the site to power the schools. Solect Energy and PowerOptions have reduced energy costs for more than 60 government agencies, cities, towns, schools and nonprofits across Massachusetts.

Five items on area businesses for Oct. 19, 2019 - News - MetroWest Daily News

The first year I was married, my wife Debbie made some changes to our new home. Gone were the cinder blocks and planks that held my extensive record collection, along with the coffee table I made in woodshop in high school. They were replaced by an elegant coffee table and a fancy shelf to store my LPs. You see, for a woman, the home is a very personal reflection of her good taste and personality. For a man, its a place to watch the game. Venus vs. Mars.

Years ago, I shared the stage with Sharon Roberts. As we talked in the greenroom, she asked if I had written any books. I gave her a copy of my first book, Freedom from Fear. She reciprocated by giving me her book, Selling To Women & Couples: Secrets of Selling in the New Millennium. I read it that night in one sitting. (Its only 85 pages!) In this insightful book, she says, and I truly believe, 85% of all buying decisions in the home are made by(wait for it!) WOMEN! In my house, its 110%!

Is this a firm fast rule that applies to every sale? No. Its just 85% of the time. You see, SHE is the Economic Buyer, HE is the Feasibility Buyer. She can say yes, he can say no. Your close ratio will increase if both SHE and HE are in the room. What is vital to remember is, give her at least as much, if not more, attention than him. If you disrespect her or simply forget that this simple idea is important, you will lose the sale and never know why.

In sales seminars I conduct, I ask the women in the room, How many of you have been disrespected by a salesperson when you were with your husband or boyfriend? EVERY woman raises her hand! Each one has a story with the common denominator being the absence of Appreciation, Respect and Understanding. There it is! A.R.U.

I have done hundreds of ride-alongs with comfort consultants and, if I am asked to participate in the sales process, the first thing I do is say to HER, You have a lovely home. . . . (Appreciation.) The second thing I do is to give HER equal if not more eye contact; like an oscillating fan, my head goes back and forth from her to him and back. (Respect.) The third thing I do is to listen really listen to what she is saying. (Understanding.) Its Active Listening! When you make these three simple ideas a habit, the sale happens as a matter of course.

I really miss that old coffee table and all those LPs. But you know the old saw, Happy Wife, Happy Life! We have been married for 39 years. Thats no accident. Now you know who really makes the decisions

High-Paying Remote Jobs In The IT Industry

Most folks without technical backgrounds believe that theres no room for them in the IT industry. Nothing could be further from the truth. Think about it: tech companies are a business just like any other else. Apart from IT, they have other functions too HR, marketing, sales, legal and finance. Whats even better, if the core IT team is mostly remote, positions in those departments would also be out of office too.

If you are in the market for a remote job, dont discard working for an IT company too soon. Even if you are a non-techie, theres still plenty well-paid gigs you can go after.

1. IT Headhunter/ HR Specialist

While many IT companies may use niche recruitment firms to source talent, there is a growing contingent of remote headhunters too. You dont have to be a techie to recruit techies, but you do have to understand the industry, where it is going, the newer technologies that are in demand, etc. And because the tech sector is rapidly evolving, you will have to keep a close eye on the in-demand skills, degrees, certifications that specific positions require.

Many companies will also hire remote workers for a variety of other HR tasks development of HR policies and procedures, benefits, employee manuals, training and development, employee reviews and evaluations procedures and documentation, etc.

Average hourly rate for remote headhunters is around $20-$50, depending on the company and experience level. As well, some employers may offer a bonus based on a percentage of the hired individuals starting salary. Average salary for freelance HR consultants ranges from $65,000 - $70,000, with seasoned and experienced pros earning over $100,000.

2. Accountant

There is a big difference between normal bookkeeping functions and full-fledged accounting services. While there is plenty of software that will handle all of the less complex financial processes, an accountant is usually employed for more complex yet required needs such as audits, due diligence, payroll management etc. Obviously, you must have a degree in accounting, preferably a CPA license, to find remote work as an accountant.

3. Digital Marketing Specialist/Consultant

Its one thing for an IT firm to develop amazing software and apps. Its quite another to market those products effectively. And for young tech startups, employing remote marketers is a wise and often necessary route to take if they want to get their products in front of end consumers. For freelancers and remote workers, this means plenty of regular work across multiple avenues.

However, if you want to command higher rates and establish your expertise, its best to niche down to one or several of the following services:

As for the compensation, it can vary a lot depending on your skillset and sub-niche. However, its not uncommon for digital marketers to earn up to six figures per year.

4. IT Sales Pros

Major IT companies are usually catering to users from all around the world. So it is only natural that such businesses are often looking to hire sales representatives in locations where they have customers (or major interest), but dont have representative offices.

Average salaries for remote sales pros are in the mid-$50,000 range, but this is simply not a solid figure. Because pay is based on commission, higher end products will obviously bring more income. Remote sales workers need to know what is standard for the specific industry and negotiate commissions accordingly.

5. Training & Development Consultant

Many say that technology is evolving faster than we can keep up. What it means for IT firms is that there is a continual need for training and talent development, some of which will be in-house and much of which may occur digitally, because of remote workforces.

You arent a techie, but if you are a seasoned pro in designing and setting up training and e-learning programs, there will be plenty of opportunities for you. You may be hired to assist the company with creating their center for excellence, improving the corporate education process and perhaps even developing some materials for the leadership suit. e-learning is a hot sector too, so you might want to level up your digital skills too.

Training and development consultants can receive compensation ranging from $50,000 up to six figures.

Dont count out remote work with an IT firm just because you are not a coder. Just these five possibilities should encourage you to look into your options and wet your toes in the burgeoning IT industry.
