    Relax Your Nervous System with a Loving Kindness Meditation 10 Min Relaxation Response

    This is an antidote to any type of stress, but especially if you're feeling anger or frustration with yourself or others. The brain really can't appreciate the positives about someone or something and at the same time process feelings of anger. You might think that simply wishing yourself wellness and happiness is a lot of fluffy nonsense because I thought that too! But priming your brain with loving kindness activates your parasympathetic nervous system, or your rest and relax system. I hope you find it as helpful as I have!  #relaxationresponse #meditation #lovingkindness #calm #nervoussystem
