Mindfulness Meditation calms and soothes the body and mind
RAVI Weighted Blankets are grounding. Grounding is the process of coming into the body. Our body does not have the ability to time travel. Your thoughts can remember and plan, but your physical self cannot be in the past or the future. Your body can only be in the present moment. When you focus on the body – you automatically come into the present. There are also some natural rhythms within the body that are soothing. Watching the breath move in and out. When you focus on your current breath and the present moment, this allows the mind, body and spirit to release stress and anxiety that arise from thoughts outside of the here and now.
