When I was burned out, someone told me to try meditation. I found a class, walked in, and sat down with a room full of strangers. Closing my eyes in that environment did not calm my nervous system, it triggered my symptoms, and I left feeling worse than when I arrived. What I understand now is that the class was not built for where I was, and that experience changed everything about how I teach meditation at Healing Arts Center in Virginia Beach.
