The Mind-Body Connection with Ken Nelson

Apr 7, 2021

It’s a blessing to achieve financial security and have the opportunity to work on our lives in areas like health, happiness, and purpose. As my friend Ken Nelson explains, growing older is a privilege—not everyone gets to do it. 

Today I’m thrilled to speak with Ken, a meditation and Qigong teacher who has lived a life that’s anything but ordinary. While his journey took him through early tragedies, Ken persevered after discovering a spiritual path. His latest work, Designing & Leading Life-Changing Workshops, has become a model for helping people lead transformational workshop experiences.

While some people might think of meditation as woo-woo or too out there, the practice is deeply rooted in science. Yet even if meditation isn’t right for you, there are other types of mind-body practices to consider. We’ll cover them in this episode, as Ken highlights the practical benefits of adding mindfulness to your daily routine. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The power of the mind-body connection (and how it impacts you)
  
  
• How a personal practice can help navigate the challenges we're all facing
  
  
• The important reason why repeated exposure helps you grow stronger
  
  
• Why science is behind our natural reactions to the stresses of everyday life
  
  
• The simplest way to start practicing medication—even if you’re a beginner
  
  
• A walkthrough of one simple mindfulness practice you can use every day
