Today on the show, Dr. Minni weighs in on the fourth pillar of her COPE methodology for maintaining good health: Enhanced mind mastery. Our state of mind has a powerful role to play in our healing journeys. There are studies that show that if our minds are in a constant state of unrest, this can have negative effects on our personal health. However, if we can get ourselves into the habit of devoting just ten minutes each day to meditation, we can fill our brains with positivity and clarity, thereby increasing our chances of maintaining good health. Tune in to learn more.
