Mental Health Week: “Body bringing presence”
Today’s body meditation can help us be more open and receptive to what our body is telling us. Bringing us into the present moment with the body allows us to see where stress and anxiety physically show up, this can be valuable information on what’s happening with us mentally. The wisdom of the body is something we often take for granted, tapping into it may offer a new way of being.
