Rachel teaches meditation as a form of mind training to help with behavior and engender emotional growth through various exercises. She studied both at New York University and then Kansas University. She has studied under a shaman from the Apache tribe as well as a Tibetan Buddhist lama. She has also worked with both Christian priests as well as those within esoteric Judaism. Gobar studied and practiced different forms of meditation since the age of thirteen. Currently she helps clients with addictive behaviors, trauma, spiritual growth, cancer patients, and mothers coping with pregnancy and raising children. She uses a variety of techniques tailored to meet each individual's needs. Emotions can be experienced partly as bodily sensations (e.g., we may feel fear in our stomachs, or anger in our hands), influenced as well by our beliefs. Often we are tempted to push away emotions that we don't like. But this rarely works and will manifest in unhealthy ways. What does work is to build a relationship with our emotions using the body as a communication tool. The goal is to evolve emotional awareness and intelligence within us. We are not taught how to grow emotionally at different developmental stages. Unfortunately, most of us learn to react to our feelings from those around us and quite often, those around us are not taught how to deal with their emotions. Meditation or mind training is a way to help build awareness and development within this area. Ultimately, it is a way to build dialogue between the subconscious and conscious mind using the body, because the body will never lie to you. There are several methods of mind training. All these methods work in a symbiotic relationship with traditional therapy.

In this beautifully written Idea, the clinical psychologist Eric Jannazzo reflects on what it truly means to exist and to die. By seeing ourselves not as static nouns, but as unfolding processes, we can soften the sharp edges of existential fear and embrace life’s constant becoming.⁠ This piece invites us to rethink our relationship with mortality, growth, and the self. It’s a reminder that who we are isn’t a fixed point, it’s every choice, every feeling, and every moment of transformation.⁠ https://psyche.co/ideas/the-existential-balm-of-seeing-yourself-as-a-verb-not-a-noun

Smiling even when you’re not genuinely happy can actually make you feel happier.

This is due to the facial feedback hypothesis, which suggests that facial expressions send signals to your brain that influence emotions. When you smile, your brain releases dopamine and serotonin, the same “feel-good” chemicals linked to real happiness.

So, forcing a smile can trick your brain into improving your mood, even in stressful situations.
