Connie Thoreson is a meditation teacher at Totally Meditation. Connie and I will help you quiet your mind and tap into your own natural ability to heal yourself through meditation and mindfulness. Connie is also a writer and facilitator who focuses on helping adults who have difficulty learning to meditate. Some of her teachings are dedicated to people with ADD/ADHD, Asperger’s and even those suffering from intense chronic pain.Join Connie and I as we talk about the basics and complexities of meditation and how you can start meditating right now.Mindfulness Meditation has been the most impactful activity I do every single day. If you are looking for a sense of direction, and solid base to build an integral foundation of character, meditation is for you.Meditation teaches you discipline, increases your flow states, and allows you to slow your mind down and be conscious of your thoughts and emotions. Once you get your mind right you can get your life right. Most of the times we are so blindsided on an issue that we only view these certain issues with it and stick with it. Revisit the situation and you will often find your problems have changed or shifted position over your mind. Meditation decreases the stress produced by your body and improve the areas of your brain responsible for empathy and love. I used to think meditation was a hippie gimmick as an excuse to sit around and do nothing. Once I started I realized I was wrong and this bad perception of meditation has negatively harmed my life. I recommend you do a little bit of research on your own. Look up different types of meditation and some scientific studies that show the benefits of meditating. Please don’t say “I can’t meditate because I can’t clear my mind”. Of course, you can’t you are only human. Mindfulness meditation isn’t about “clearing your head”.Give meditation a try and let me know how it works out for you in the comments in a couple weeks! I am also advocating for mindfulness throughout your daily life. When you are walking do you feel your feet move back and forth to move you across a massive space rock? When you are eating pay attention and smell and taste your food. Don’t watch or listen to anything. Start practicing mindfulness in all your activities. PAY ATTENTION!If you would like more information on Connie please check out the following links below:Website - https://totallymeditation.comConnie's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/conniethoreson/Humans 2.0 Twitter - https://twitter.com/Humans2PodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/markymetryMedium - https://medium.com/@markymetryFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/mark.metry.9Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markmetry/Mark Metry - https://www.markmetry.com/

Logan Tyler Nelson is the Host of Scratch Your Own Itch Podcast, coach and writer. The creator and host Logan Tyler Nelson brings on guests that are have gone through serious Trauma. The guests range from Artists, Entrepreneurs, Teachers, Authors, and occasionally Doctors. The truth is we create our own world. We are responsible for our attitude. That’s the reason you have the reality or the life you are living right now. If your life stinks you had something to do with it and the opposite is true. If your life is good you had something to do with it. The important news — you can change your life and change your way of seeing the world at any moment. You can make new choices, different choices, better choices at any time to improve your life in many positive and good ways. Logan Tyler Nelson wants to be as real as he can with you. He's always found it unhelpful to see depression as a mental illness. But this is what he has to label it as because society won’t know what he's talking about when he refers to it as an Itch that only goes away when it's Scratched.“Scratch Your Own Itch.” What does that mean? Un- Scratched itches can drive someone crazy. And the longer someone ignores that itch; the greater the chances are they'll go crazy, have a mental breakdown, or even worse- feel unworthy/ suicidal.Logans Big life Itch came when he attempted suicide and failed. After this life-changing event, he finally realized that he LOVES helping other people face their fears and make that big change in their life before its too late.Scratching your own Itch feels so good and when you finally do it you don't question your life purpose, you don't think about changing careers, you don't have a fear of missing out on anything, and all the sudden you notice that you no longer have jealousy towards other people, you no longer worry about "is it going to work? " Because now your tapped into a "flow" state as Steven Kotler refers it too. ADHD goes out the window, anxiety goes out the window, and most importantly Suicidal thoughts are completely eradicated. It begins with Scratching Your Own Itch. Because the opposite of fear is Curiosity.Logan's true mission is to save 10 million people from negative thinking because he's finally Scratching His Own Itch.If you would like more information on Logan please check out the following links below:iTunes Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/scratch-your-own-itch-with-logan-tyler-nelson/id1303895386?mt=2Website - http://logantylernelson.com/Logan's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/logan.nelson3Logan's Twitter - https://twitter.com/LoganTnelsonHumans 2.0 Twitter - https://twitter.com/Humans2PodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/markymetryMedium - https://medium.com/@markymetryFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/mark.metry.9Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markmetry/Mark Metry - https://www.markmetry.com/

Bioquark, Inc. is focused on the development and commercialization of a novel range of biologic-based products and services that have the ability to alter the biological regulatory state of human tissues and organs, with the goal of curing a wide range of diseases.The biologic regulatory states of our cells, tissues, and organs represent the central control processes behind our health (as well as our unfortunate transition towards disease, degeneration and aging), and a technology/product platform that can reverse negative transitions, will be transformational in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as in the wider healthcare business segment.The company’s core program focuses on developing a novel class of substances termed combinatorial biologics, which take a unique approach to reversing underlying disease, degeneration or aging processes, as opposed to affecting the symptoms of such conditions, as most marketed pharmaceutical products currently do today.Combinatorial biologics, which work at the level of the regulatory genome, and are modeled off of biochemical dynamics found in various species which can naturally modify biologic regulatory state to achieve beneficial endpoints such as complex tissue and organ regeneration, disease reversion, and even biological age reversal.If you would like more information on Ira please check out the following links below:Ira's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/iraspastor/Ira's Twitter - https://twitter.com/IraSamuelPastorBioquark - http://www.bioquark.com/Humans 2.0 Twitter - https://twitter.com/Humans2PodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/markymetryMedium - https://medium.com/@markymetryFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/mark.metry.9Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markmetry/Mark Metry - https://www.markmetry.com/
