Did you know that more than 8o% of all diseases are attributed to chronic stress?
Add relaxing activities into your daily life, such as in the video above, to counteract the negative side effects of chronic stress and tension.
Most of the reasons why we need to calm is because we overuse our minds to think thousands of thoughts which more often than not lead our bodies into fear and flight or fight mode. Too often we allow our thoughts to lead us into states of chronic stress, anxiety or depression.
We all know today based on current scientific research that integrating the practice of daily forms of meditation alleviates the negative side effects of chronic stress, anxiety, depression and a host of other conditions. Link here for the researched benefits of meditation.
Did you know that the way you live your life can actually BE a form of meditation?
All that is needed is your full presence in every moment. When you bring yourself fully engaged into every moment and show up your authentic and true self, you are living in a lighter way, which leads to a more peaceful and calm mind.
A form of mediation is mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness means present, moment to moment awareness. Bring yourself into the experience of every moment without judgement, analysis or criticism. This enables your mind to calm more and live in a meditative state.
Integrate the following rituals and exercises into your daily life to bring your mind and body to experience your true nature, which is inner peace and calm.
Practice these exercises daily and let me know how they benefit you!
