The Meditation Collective
The meditation-and-the-brain research has been rolling in steadily for a number of years now, with new studies coming out just about every week to illustrate some new benefit of meditation. The practice appears to have an amazing variety of neurological benefits – from changes in grey matter volume to reduced activity in the “me” centers of the brain to enhanced connectivity between brain regions. Basically, it allows for you to take your power back and be the best version of yourself. If you're ready to take accountability for your own life and tune into the answers that have always been within you, this is for YOU. Lets level up our lives, together. This is what the collective is all about.

Extending the Exhale

The way the body breathes can tell you a lot about what you are experiencing. When you’re anxious or angry, you may find the breath to be shallow and rapid. When you are resting, the breath slows down and is often deeper. The relationship between the breath, the body, and the mind goes both ways. By breathing more deeply, you are telling the nervous system you are safe. This exercise engages the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for feelings of safety, relaxation, and ease. This practice is designed to bring you back into that feeling of safety at any time you might need it.
