Doctors Without Borders has said Gaza is now a "mass grave". Gaza, which has become an open wound in the Arab and humanitarian body, is still resisting death with every remaining pulse - but for how much longer, wonders our Palestinian journalist Alaa Shamali www.thecanary.co/global/world...

About ten years ago I was visiting an elephant sanctuary in Thailand and helping to feed a few female elephants when one suddenly scooped me up and rocked me like a baby in her trunk before putting me down. She was so gentle and I swear smiling like the elephant in this video!

Worry Time: 10-15 minutes, every day or as often as possible devoted to worry. Journal or don’t. This may sound counterintuitive, but the idea is that when we devote specific time to our worries, they become more manageable and less likely to interfere with our work, relationships, and well-being.

The start of a new week often floods the mind (and body) with worry. What needs to get done? How will I do it all? What am I forgetting? Ignoring these thoughts isn’t realistic, and there’s evidence to suggest trying to do so makes us worry more. Scheduling “Worry Time” may help. Continued ↓

There are so many moments from this meeting that fascinate me through a psychological (and Real Housewives) lens, but Trump repeatedly growling “don’t tell us what we’re going to feel!” is high on the list. If only the stakes weren’t so dire and the callousness to human suffering so ugly.

Breathwork is sometimes dismissed, but, especially for those of us who may literally “forget” to breathe, it can make an enormous difference. A goal is to try to cultivate an awareness of the breath and its effects on body and mind.
