LEARN ABOUT CONSCIOUS HEALTH MEDITATION
 

Hi! I'm Dr. Jill Wener. After 10+ years practicing Internal Medicine, I know first-hand what severe stress and burnout feel like. That all changed once I learned Conscious Health Meditation. Now, after 6 amazing years of growth as a meditator, I get to share this effortless, transformational practice with you- as a Conscious Health Meditation teacher and stress reduction expert. (You can read more about my journey on my bio page)

I specialize in teaching my clients, especially healthcare professionals and people with stress-related health issues, this simple, effortless and practical way to meditate.  Stay calm under pressure, manage stress, improve your health, and be more adaptive and creative.

Zen and the Art of New Orleans Jazz Fest (or, Everything I Needed to Learn About Life, I Learned at Jazz Fest)
Zen and the Art of New Orleans Jazz Fest (or, Everything I Needed to Learn About Life, I Learned at Jazz Fest)

Jazz Fest in New Orleans. It’s my favorite place in the world, the highlight of my year. It’s not exactly what people think of when they think of spirituality, though. This year I brought a new friend with me, and I was telling someone, after the fact, that she was such a great Jazz Fest companion because not only was she awesome, but she was able to take care of herself so well. That prompted them to ask me: “what on earth happens there that she needs to take care of herself? Isn’t it supposed to be fun?”.

For you Princess Bride fans out there, Jazz Fest is like the fire swamp. Sure, there are obstacles, but once you figure them out (where to find air conditioning, how to find real toilets instead of porta-potties), you can live there quite happily for some time. Here are the top 9 life lessons I have learned at Jazz Fest:

Great Expectations
Great Expectations

We all have expectations placed on us. Some are external, and some are internal. Be the best parent, the best spouse, be skinny, wear the right clothes, have a great job, have work life balance. I feel like I wrote the book on setting high expectations for myself- I went to private school, I went to medical school, I got into my first choice for residency, and then I practiced medicine for 10 years in Chicago.

Burnout brought me to meditation. As a result, I was no longer a slave to my stress, to the events of the world around me, and to my reactivity to those events. I felt empowered. Here’s why:

For you Princess Bride fans out there, Jazz Fest is like the fire swamp. Sure, there are obstacles, but once you figure them out (where to find air conditioning, how to find real toilets instead of porta-potties), you can live there quite happily for some time. Here are the top 9 life lessons I have learned at Jazz Fest: 1. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Everyone always says, ‘Oh, it sounds fun, but I’m not a big jazz fan’, or they are intimidated by it, like it’s this hoity toity jazz music festival. Guess what: it’s not! It’s actually called the Jazz and Heritage Festival. There are over 10 stages, all with different types of music. (There is a whole tent dedicated to Jazz, but I haven’t been to it in the past few years.) . 2. Don’t cling to the ever-repeating known. So, at Jazz Fest, they have the same food vendors every year. People, including myself, really tend to stick with their favorites year after year. For me, it used to be Crawfish Monica. Then I was introduced to Crawfish Bread. Then one year I decided to try the Cochon de Lait po-boys (when I still ate pork). This year, I tried the Soft Shell Crap po-boy, and I don’t know how I ever lived without it. I actually get teary eyed when I think about how long I have to wait until I eat one again. The thing is, though, my mind is blown almost every single time I try something new. And if it’s not? $6-10 later, I’m trying something else new and delicious.

On this Friday morning, home super early from work bc there’s no water pressure in the building, this feels particularly relevant. Am I losing income from not being at work? Yep. Do I instead get to spend the day working on my meditation passion projects? Oh HELL yes. Bring it on universe. #adapt #meditate #noplumbingnoproblem . . . . . #memorialdayweekend #kickoff #atlanta #adaptationenergy #meditationhasitsprivileges #glasshalffull
Did I ever tell you about that time I manifested a yellow butterfly? While reading @pamgrout’s book #esquared, I did an experiment designed to help me see, scientifically, the interplay we all have with the universe around us. It blew my mind, and ever since, whenever I see a #yellowbutterfly, it reminds me I’m being supported by the universe. This one was part of a magical art exhibit, on a magical night, in #neworleans during #jazzfest. #conscioushealthatl #whatsyoursign . . . . . #universe #synchronicity #butterflies #playanddisplay #pamgrout #meditate #meditationworks #atlantaga #kirkwood
Look familiar? 8 years ago, before I learned to meditate, I had a full meltdown in customer service at @target because they wouldn’t let me return a $7 alarm clock that I owned for 2 years. I stormed out of there in a full rage, in front of a long line of customers, and ended up giving the clock to a woman waiting in line. I share this to say: we’ve all had our crazy-as-hell moments. It doesn’t have to stay that way. Meditation gives our body up to 5 times as much rest as sleep, leaving us adaptable, calm and not completely psychotic. It absolutely works. Come try it. Do you dare to share your cray stories in the comments??? . . . #stressreaction #fightorflight #meditate #healthyhabits #adaptationenergy #target #customerservice #returncounter #alarmclock #vedicmeditation #restanddigest
I’m on a ‘seize the day’ rampage on social media, and in life, these days. @jeffkobermeditation really hits the nail on the head with this one. Make today count, everyone! Even if that means playing hooky from the job that pays your rent so that you can work on the job that feeds your soul. #seizetheday #conscioushealthatl #leap . . . . . #followcharm #followbliss #noregrets #meditate #transcend #lifegoals
Happy Monday everyone! One of my students just told me she feels like nature has come alive for her since she started meditating, and she sees much more of life’s beauty.

I just loved this post from @therachelmcinnis, quoting @jensincero. What are you looking to change in your life? What excuses have you already made? When will you give your life, and your dreams, the attention they deserve? #conscioushealthatl #nomoreexcuses . . . . . #changeyourlife #motivate #lifehack #truth #motivationalwisdom #meditate #neuroplasticity #rewire #selfgrowth #keepitreal #learntomeditate
