Dr Joe partnered with Dr Peta Stapleton at Australia’s Bond University to study meditation’s effects on 900 primary school children over a 10-week period. This is the largest study on kids and meditation ever conducted.
My path to meditation was born out of necessity and curiosity. As an entrepreneur in the fast-paced world of cybersecurity and as mom of two children, I found myself constantly running from one challenge to the next, always in a state of high alert – much like the systems we were protecting. It was during this time that I realized I was living in what I now call a ‘panic room’ – a state of constant stress and reactivity.
