If you’re feeling stressed or going through a stressful period in your life, this meditation is one for you.
This meditation focuses on balancing out the 5 elements, or tattvas, in your system. This balance will make you more resilient in times of stress.
The mudra correlates to the zones in your brain that balance out the two sides, or hemispheres, of your brain.
The breath is activating the parasympathetic nervous system, your rest & digest part of your autonomic nervous system. Activating the parasympathetic brings us back to a state of regulation, moves us away from the stress response and being in a sympathetic state.
Do this meditation anytime you feel stressed or are going through a stressful period in your life.
