In our premiere episode of \u201cEveryday Spirituality\u201d we talk with Cass Ghiorse, a yoga instructor who incorporated elements of meditation and mindful movement in her practices and classes. We began by learning about where Cass\u2019 movement and meditation practices began, specifically from her experience as a young person as a ballet dancer.

Cass\u2019 perspective of the interconnectedness of the body, mind (brain) and spirit was truly informative in how we need to care for ourselves as a whole person. It was a delight to see how Cass recast the thinking of mindful noise and bodily energy into a powerful, productive tool.

\u201cThe brain fascinates me. The brain is an organ that produces thoughts; that create feelings in our body; those feelings create actions and those actions create results. I\u2019m interested in that whole, long, complicated line.\u201d

\u201cWhen it comes to meditation, just be the witness, don\u2019t be the judge.\u201d

\u201cWe\u2019ve been conditioned to think that our own physical bodies are somehow out of our control; and that there is a pill that will solve it; and that we don\u2019t need to feel this, we need to numb it. But no! Pain, whether physical, spiritual, emotion\u2014that\u2019s where life is; that\u2019s what alive is. I wouldn\u2019t have gotten to the work I do had I not gotten hurt.\u201d
