#47: The Thankfulness Special
Victoria is recording from Atlanta where everything is stopping for the celebration of Thanksgiving. We take the opportunity to dig into this tradition, calling Victoria’s american colleague Susan Hall who tells us all about southern Thanksgiving traditions. For all of us new to the tradition we share ideas how to make it your own, AND – is it true that the emotion of gratefulness cannot be shared/felt at the same time as negative emotions? We also give some brilliant ideas how to include meditation in your life, and Susan share her alphabet method.. We hope you enjoy!
