What Does My Mind Have to Do With It?

Everything. The mind gives the information to the body. Is your body tense and tight? Is it relaxed and loose? You probably have felt this direct relationship between mental stress states and tension in the body several times in your life.  So what do you do about it?

Relax.

Too simple, right?

Easier said than done.

How do you relax when you have been in a chronic state of fight or flight for most of your life?  

Breathe.

Practice.

Yes, you practice every day. It’s that important to your health and well-being. Once you have this practice integrated, you can then start incorporating your heart wisdom and take it up a notch. For a smoother ride in life, connecting the mind, body, and heart activates deeper states of wellbeing, clarity, ease, enjoyment, fulfillment, and flow.
