Human well-being and the ability to flourish is only possible when we feel safe and secure in the world.
When this basic need to feel safe is not met, our sympathetic nervous system is activated, and we default to and inhabit a "fight or flight" stress response.
In flight-fight, anything not essential for immediate survival is turned off-this includes the immune system, the digestive system, the human growth and reproductive systems.
When these systems are turned off for too long, or are turned on and off too frequently, they break down, leading to the illnesses of modernity: diabetes, heart disease, infertility, obesity, anxiety, depression, autoimmune diseases, sleep disorders, and on.

Mindfulness is the ability to become aware of present moment experience with acceptance.
It is typically cultivated through meditative, contemplative, and yogic practices.
I began practicing meditation and yoga in 1981 while an undergraduate student in Ann Arbor and found they literally saved my life.
In 1984 I became a yoga and meditation teacher and in 1996 I added qigong to my practice.
In 1998 I began teaching Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and training counselors and psychotherapists how to use mindfulness practices in the service of self-care.
