Summary
Welcome to Day 4! You're guided in a meditation using a special mudra, a way to position your hands to stimulate your nervous system. The vajra mudra helps improve your inner awareness of how you process difficult emotions such as anxiety.
This week's series of meditations is in honor of National Mental Health Awareness Month. The techniques and meditations you're guided through are designed to help you or your loved ones take the best care possible of your precious mental health.
This is part 4 of a 7-Part Meditation Series Caring for Your Mental Health, Episodes 2889-2895.
YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE:
At the end of each day, reflect on the day's top stressors. How did you handle the stress? What would you do differently?
You are guided with a different meditation technique every day that is customized for the week's theme. Weave the techniques into the most stressful times of your day to manage difficult emotions. The meditation techniques help to calm the "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.
