Off the heels of a Chopra Meditation Retreat in Hawaii, Maria was inspired to share her long bumpy journey to developing the practice that changed her life and her brain. She’ll drop some of the science behind what physically changes in the brain as a result of mediation.  If you’ve tried meditation but determined it's not for your busy lifestyle or you can’t do it consistently, this episode is for you.  

Maria then takes us through a bright crisp white perfect for the upcoming heat of summer and some fun history behind Albariño

Stay tuned till the end when Maria guides you through a short mantra meditation practice.
