This meditation helps cultivate relaxation, peace, and wellbeing.

This week you will learn Tapping/ EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) a powerful stress relief technique that offers an opportunity to self-soothe and regulate emotions. When certain energy points are stimulated, it reduces heart rate and shuts off the fight or flight response.

This week you will practice the humming bee breath to release stress and calm the nervous system followed by mindfulness meditation that helps cultivate loving non-judgmental awareness of our life experiences and tools to anchor ourselves into the present moment.
