When we're under stress, reacting can feel automatic.

A pause can change a response.

Mind-body practices can help us create greater awareness of what's happening in the body and nervous system—giving us an opportunity to pause and choose how we respond.

That's the focus of "Peace & Compassion: The Mind-Body Medicine Approach " with Dr. Michelle L. Thompson.

We'll explore practical techniques including breath work, meditation, reflection, and connection.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause before we react.
