Not only does it spark curiosity and help us learn, but it also strengthens confidence and resilience.  This week, Dr. Sar\u00e1 King offers a practice to help us build comfort with our \u201cdon\u2019t-know mind\u201d so that we can stay courageous and open to the world around us. Dr. Sar\u00e1 King is a mother, a neuroscientist, political and learning scientist, medical anthropologist, social entrepreneur, public speaker, and certified yoga and meditation instructor. Dr. King specializes in researching and teaching about the relationship between mindfulness, community alternative medicine, and social justice with an emphasis on examining the relationship between individual and collective awareness as it relates to well-being. The transcription of this guided meditation will be online and in our app at Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.
