For those individuals meditating in caves and living in sacred communities, enlightenment is a way of life. But what of us mere mortals, who have careers, businesses, families and social obligations? How do we access that state of inner peace and deep fulfillment?

Research indicates that there is in fact a segment of the population that is "pre-wired" for enlightenment. With the proper knowledge, those that have a TypeE Personality®, find they can visit the mountain top while in the middle of a family event or business meeting.

Want to get a quick start on exploring the TypeE Personality?  Take the sixty second TypeE quiz to find out if you are one of the 5-10 percent of the population who are wired for enlightenment!  Click here to take the TypeE quiz.

This week at Miraval, our guests had the distinct honor (and pleasure!) of meeting Dr. Marisa Weiss. Dr Weiss is a leading breast oncologist and the president and founder of Breastcancer.org. She shared her passion and expertise about the topic and shared the findings of a 5 year intensive study between her foundation and Harvard Medical School. The findings were clear and there are steps you can take in your everyday life to lower your risk of developing breast cancer. Dr. Marisa Weiss and her team are now sharing a prevention message through Breastcancer.org’s Think Pink, Live Green initiative.

Here's a photo from her lecture at Miraval!

It was fitting that we hosted the lectures here at Miraval because what the Miraval team of wellness specialists teaches everyday is overwhlemingly relevant and in line with what Dr. Weiss and her team are teaching. Miraval is a great place to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle and embrace change.

Meet Dr. Marisa Weiss in this video below!
