Summary
Layer your meditation with several techniques we've explored in this week's series: an affirmation, a breathing technique, and a mudra. Also discover how St. John's Wort tea can help calm your mind and body.
This is part 6 of a 7-Part Self Care Meditation series, Episodes 961-967.
As always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.
