Blue Heron Acupuncture & Apothecary Offering Free 30 Day Meditation Challenge
As a gift to the community, Blue Heron Acupuncture & Apothecary is offering its Third Annual 30 Day Meditation Challenge – a free, daily email during the month of November with brief, recorded meditations, health tips, recipes, yoga, art, and more to help participants slow down, calm their nervous systems, and find more peace and joy in their day to day.
Meditation is not just about sitting quietly for a few minutes each day. It’s an opportunity to enrich your physical, emotional, and mental health. Meditation and stress reduction have been shown to offer the following benefits:
- decrease cortisol levels – the body’s stress response
- strengthen your immune system
- rejuvenate your adrenals
- lower high blood pressure
- enrich fertility
- calm autoimmune flare-ups
- reduce inflammation
- soothe digestion
- improve mental clarity and decrease mental chatter
- enhance emotional balance
- create greater awareness, mindfulness, calm and gratitude
