The shift from thinking to sensing.
In this lesson, we explore how shifting our focus from thinking to sensing (present-moment awareness) is the key to transitioning our brain from the beta wave state to the alpha wave state.
In this lesson, we explore the workings of the brain from a biological perspective and how we fuel our thoughts when we get caught up in overthinking and overanalysing.
In this lesson, we explore the many benefits of short meditations and moments of mindfulness. The more often we use these to support our daily practice, the greater the rewards.
Interoception is your body’s ability to sense and interpret internal signals, like the feeling of a racing heart, tight muscles, or a fluttering stomach. These physical sensations are directly linked to our emotional and mental states, particularly when we are experiencing stress or anxiety.
