35 looms over most women, despite a great deal of evidence that many can give birth into their late 30s and some into their mid 40s.  Kudos to an article in the Atlantic entitled How Long Can You Wait to Have a Baby that revealed that the age-35 doomsday is based on French birth records from 1670 to 1830.

One Key Skill You Must Master To Live Longer

March 28, 2014/0 Comments/in Podcasts /by admin

This podcast includes a bit of my personal story, psychoeducation on the mechanics of resentment, and some very concrete suggestions for what you can do to overcome it and forgive. The interviewer is Susan Westerbrook, author of a book on The Five Tibetans–a very deep 2,500 year-old system of yogic exercises to tone the body and heal the soul.

Research shows that people who are able to substitute anger, resentment, and the desire for revenge with positive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, will live longer. Toxic emotions are damaging at the physical level, resulting in back pain, cancer, autoimmune disorders, among many other ailments. Easier said than done. This audio is about an hour, so it will make sense to listen when you have some time and space. Listen Here.
