Led by Bonnie Currie

In this meditation, explore three techniques to calm, soothe, and ground your nervous system.  This practice may be useful if you are feeling overwhelmed, depleted or reactive as a way to replenish your parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that helps us rest and replenish.
