MEDITATION & MINDFULNESS
When we are stressed out our sympathetic nervous system is running the show, it is in charge of survival as if we are running for our live; most of the time, we keep running even when the treat is no longer there; it keeps us engage and going, unfortunately when we spend most of the day in this state, we can easily get sick and burned out.
Our parasympathetic nervous system is in charge of healing, digestion, replenish and our immune system get activated during this rest and digest, allowing us to recuperate and recharged. Through meditation and mindfulness, we can activate consciously this part of our nervous system, through them we exercise self-care as we balance by refreshing our body, mind and soul throughout the day.
Meditation and Mindfulness require minor effort, but offer major payoffs, meditative exercises like deep breathing or grounding your senses in your present moment activate your parasympathetic nervous system, your ability to rest and digest that also allows your immune system

Meditation is an intentional practice to expand your awareness, usually you sit down to focus inward. By meditating, you increase calmness, concentration, and emotional balance to experience inner peace by clearing the mind. There are different kinds of meditations: Breath Awareness, Mantra Based, Visualization and Guided meditation are the more common types of meditations, each one with a specific purpose.

Mindfulness is the act of paying attention and noticing and being present in what you’re doing. When most people let their minds wander from the actual activity they are participating in, to other thoughts or sensations. a recent study at Harvard found that people spend 46.9 percent of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they are doing.
When you’re mindful, you are actively involved in the activity with all of your senses instead of allowing your mind to wander. You can be mindful at any time and even during meditation. Practicing mindfulness improves your focus, productivity and ability to enjoy life in the present moment.
