Listening to Inner Voice Helps Women See Benefits to Meditation

My big burning desire to bring this to people is because I myself see it as one of the most powerful tools to get to know yourself. And I believe that when we allow ourselves to use this tool, we actually get to know ourselves pretty damn well. We can start hearing our intuition. We can decipher between the voice in our head and the noise out in the world. And when we start actually hearing that voice and taking brave action on that voice, we actually start really putting the pieces together of our own lives versus this, the scripted life that others are either telling us we need to live, or our past versions of ourselves are telling us we need to live.

You know, when you look at, say, sex and gender differences, let's take fasting, for example. The lion's share of the benefits of fasting have been done on men. You could say the same for most research in the field of human science. And research is starting to catch up in terms of actually looking at differences in how women might respond to, say, protein or testosterone or weight training or high intensity interval training.
