About the event
Join Sandra of SKM Wellness to learn simple and accessible techniques to support a calm and relaxed state of mind. Together we’ll learn about and engage in mindfulness techniques, to promote slowing down so you can rise up.
Most of us live in a place of constant stress, whether we realize it or not. Our sympathetic nervous systems – that part of us responsible for fight or flight – seems to always be ignited. This leads to higher levels of stress, increased cortisol in the body, and ultimately dis-ease, be it in the form of physical or mental discomfort, or actual sickness.
During this 45-minute session, expect to take time to pause, breathe, and rest your system so your parasympathetic nervous system – rest, relax, calm mode – turns on. Together we’ll learn simple breathing techniques, a variety of mindfulness tools, and simple ways to meditate no matter where you are, to bring more calming vibes into your life. Even if you’ve never meditated or believe you “can’t,” this session is sure to prove the opposite – that you too can find ways to come back to the present moment in favor of a healthier body, mind and spirit. The session will close with a brief sound bath to help keep that relaxation going well beyond our time together.
