7 Women Transforming the World

Debbie Ford

Debbie Ford, founder of the Ford Institute for Integrative Coaching and the author of the New York Times best-seller The Dark Side of the Light Chasers:

"Meditation is connecting to something bigger than myself. We meditate to have a shift in consciousness, to take us out of the limitations of our individual self. You know that to walk by somebody starving is to walk by yourself. You know that to judge somebody else is to judge yourself. In this place hope exists, possibility exists. This is where you know that we are here to have this human experience. Meditation is a process that makes the trip not only possible but also a little gentler.
