Join this session to continue building a foundational understanding of why and how secular meditation supports mental, physical, social and emotional health and wellness. We’ll explore what the “Window of Tolerance” is and how using our understanding of this supports improvement of nervous system health. We will also engage in 2 unique meditation practices together, as we look to expand our repertoire of options to support us in establishing our own meditation practice. Plan to learn new skills for “upregulating” and “downregulating” the nervous system, and why this is so beneficial for long term health and wellbeing. *Pre-requisite: Introduction to Meditation: Part I: What is Meditation & Why Does it "Work"
