#LiveWholeHealth

Research suggests that compassion interventions benefit our physical and mental health, our ability to manage our emotions and our relationships. 

Mindfulness can help you to be more present in the here and now to live your life more fully, with all its joys and sorrows, successes and challenges.

This #LiveWholeHealth self-care episode encourages you to find a quiet, comfortable place to give yourself the gift of relaxation that will bring you back to the true purpose in your life. 

Music therapy is the evidence-based use of music for a therapeutic purpose. It can help promote relaxation, reduce depression and anxiety, and even help with pain management.

Mindful awareness is being fully aware and tuned in to what is going on right now, in the present moment. It takes time to cultivate mindful awareness, but with practice, it comes naturally.

Staying active during this time is very important for your physical, mental, and emotional health. Some activities increase your stamina, while others improve your strength, flexibility, or balance. Tai Chi is one of those exercises.

Meditation is a tool that can cultivate present moment attention and awareness, allowing us to take steps toward creatively connecting with others. One way to increase connection with ourselves or with others is through a Loving Kindness Meditation.

With the unforeseen challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, how we deal with and adapt to change will determine our ability to weather the pandemic. Taking care of your physical health is important, but so is taking care of your Whole Health.
