Importance of Meditation and Yoga

Yoga and Meditation isn’t magic, but it is a medicine for uncertainty and anxiety.

Here’s what it can do for us in these times of heightened fears:

• Help us to notice when we’re caught up in anxious thoughts — when you notice this, you can do something about it
• Help us to see the feelings that are arising for us, which we might not normally notice
• Interrupt the thought cycles we get caught up in, that might be keeping us from being present or sleeping, by dropping our awareness into the sensations of the body
• Help calm down and see that in this moment, things are not dangerous, they are actually OK
• Bring calm focus when we need to get some stuff done

These are just a few things you might see from meditation and Yoga. Obviously, there’s much more to it. But it’s worth practicing.
