    Dr. Emmett Miller's Simple but Powerful Way to Stop a Headache

  7. Using the Power of Your Own Selective Awareness

    Using the Power of Your Own Selective Awareness

     

    We hear words like guided imagery, mindfulness, and meditation all the time, but most of us think of them as something abstract, complex, or mysterious.
