A managing member with Selkirk Partners, Stewart Strawbridge is based in Portland, Maine, and works toward achieving long term strategic goals through equity investments. Along with his wife Liz Strawbridge, MD, Stewart Strawbridge recently purchased the former Outliers Eatery building. He is working to convert it into Good Medicine, a space that will nurture body-mind-spirit connections and incorporate a healthy restaurant and spaces for acupuncture, yoga, dance, and meditation. One of the purposes of meditation is gaining an understanding of oneself and one's underlying intentions, which Deepak Chopra, MD, has described as “a directed impulse of consciousness.” This can involve slipping into the gap between those emotions, memories, and thoughts that create a busy internal dialogue. In this gap is a state of pure awareness that lies beyond the “ego-mind.” This meditative state of restful awareness is ideal for setting intention and then letting it go. This process continues through a return to the place of intention each day during meditation. As Dr. Chopra describes it, intention takes on greater power when it arises from a sense of fulfillment, or contentment, rather than a sense of needing or lacking something.
