A Year of Peace

Are you someone who makes New Year’s resolutions?

Martha enjoys making one (yes, one) each year—and she always keeps it! 

In this episode of The Gathering Room: A Year of Peace, she talks about her resolution to increase her brain’s wellbeing by dropping demands that have an overriding feeling of negativity and tend to make her brain shut down.

Research that has shown that our brains work best when we can answer YES to two questions:

• Am I safe?
• Am I loved unconditionally?

After basic survival, Martha says, love is the next imperative. When we feel safe and we feel loved, it’s amazing how fast we can learn, how much we can create and do—and how much happier our lives can be.

Tune in for the full episode to learn how to let go of the demands we place on ourselves for no good reason, hear about some of the demands Martha has dropped so far, and join her for her guided Space, Silence, and Stillness meditation.
