Mediation: Wellness for the Brain.
The brain is the part of the body where meditation really works its magic. When we meditate, we inject far-reaching and long-lasting benefits into our lives: We lower our stress levels, we get to know our pain, we connect better, we improve our focus, and we’re kinder to ourselves.

We must believe we are worthy of rest. We don’t have to earn it. It is our birthright. It is one of our most ancient and primal needs.

6 Yoga Poses to Help Alleviate Stress
1. Belly Breath: A grounding breath can reduce blood pressure, lower the harmful effects of cortisol (the stress hormone), strengthen the diaphragm, improve digestion and bring you back to center. Find a comfortable position, either lying flat on your back with your knees bent and feet planted, or sitting upright in a chair, feet flat on the ground. Take your hands to your belly and breathe deep into the belly, as if inflating a balloon, inhaling for a count of 5. Hold for a beat, then exhale for 5, breathing out from the belly first.
2. Square Breath: To calm a busy mind and help focus, visualize the drawing of a square as you inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4, inhale for 4, hold for 4, etc. This can be practiced anywhere and at any time where you’re in need of balance and calm.
3. Child’s Pose: Child’s pose is perfect for anyone experiencing back pain or in need of a good neck and back stretch. It activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System aiding in rest and digestion, while stretching the spine, shoulders, hips, thighs and ankles, and reducing stress and anxiety.
4. Standing Forward Fold: Forward fold is one of the fastest poses to bring you out of an acute stress response. Stand with feet planted at hips’ width distance. Tuck the chin toward the chest and roll carefully down toward the floor. Keep the weight even between fronts and backs of the feet and the knees soft. Take hold of the elbows and release the head completely, opening the back of the neck. You may want to sway gently from side to side. Hold for up 10 deep breaths, then release into child’s pose, hips to heels. If your balance isn’t great, try this standing with your bum against the wall for support.
5. Legs Up the Wall: Find a space on a wall and lay down with your head facing away from the wall. Then, swing your legs up the wall and if you need support under your hips, add a blanket or pillow. Make yourself as comfortable as possible, close your eyes and maybe even play some relaxing music. Allow your whole body and mind to let go of any stressful thoughts or worries. Be fully present in the moment as you relax and find calm. Stay here as long as you like.
6. Eagle’s Pose: Start by standing feet hip-width apart and shoulders down and back. Pick something to look at and focus on while in this pose. Then, slowly pick up your right leg and cross it over your left as if you were sitting cross legged in a chair. Then take your left arm and cross it over your right at the elbow creases. Start to bend your elbows bringing the back of the hands together. Not only is this pose good for relieving stress but it helps to open and stretch the shoulders and hips which are points in the body that tend to carry a lot of stress.

May you have the courage to begin breaking patterns in your life that no longer serve you. Give yourself permission to pause and reflect. And remember taking care of yourself doesn’t mean “me first” - it means “me too.”
