Is it worthwhile to take the time out of your busy day to establish or continue a meditation practice? In this candid conversation with Dr. Eric Loucks, Director of The Mindfulness Centre At Brown University and Associate Professor, we explore the unbiased view of the research on Mindfulness. Dr. Loucks shares the research around stress, anxiety, depression, pain and trauma. We also address what the research says about the meditation dose and whether online is as effective as in-person when it comes to mindfulness programs. Not to mention, Dr. Loucks shares some personal stories along the way.

May it support your daily journey!
