12-18-16 Dr. Seema Khaneja, Pediatrician and Life Coach: Coaching for Inner Peace
Join Dr. Seema Khaneja as she shares tools from Coaching for Inner Peace- a systematic way to train your mind to inner peace- drawing from world spiritual traditions, movies, music, science and meditation.
The Holidays traditionally celebrate a time of peace, joy and ‘good will to all.’ Yet what if you or someone you love are facing a chronic physical and/or emotional health challenge? Perhaps you are negotiating a separation, divorce or other loss. Or you are a parent struggling with caring for a child facing challenges. In these situations, the holidays instead of bringing us together can actually foster a sense of isolation.
What does peace or joy look like in these circumstance? What are some practical steps you can take to find a sense of wholeness amidst a time when things seem to be falling apart? www.coachingforinnerpeace.org/
