Paul Boynton’s book, Begin with Yes, teaches us that the actions we take today affect how we view the world, and that one small positive action can be the beginning of a powerful cascade of change that moves us forward to accomplish our dreams. There is one action we can take right now, no matter who you are or what your goals are, that can help give you the energy to take action everywhere in our life: meditation.

Meditation is about going within to learn who we really are, beneath the compromises we have made and the limitations we have placed on ourself. The reality is that we are unlimited, and meditation helps make us aware of our truly infinite nature, bringing us into the present moment with mindfulness. The Institute for Applied Meditation on the Heart — IAM Heart — will be at the Body and Sol Women’s Expo to answer questions about meditation and helping to learn how to practice this amazing tool of inner change.

Meditation can be as simple as placing our hand on our heart and noticing that we are breathing. Of course, there are many more steps for those that want to get more advanced. The final lesson of Begin with Yes is simple: Begin. When we listen to our heart, we are renewed. Now is the time to take the power and beauty within our heart and share it with the world.
