Why combine meditation and sensory rituals? ✨

Meditation works on the body and mind, promoting calm and inner clarity. When combined with a sensory ritual, ambiance, soft lighting, or guided breathing, the experience becomes even more profound and memorable:

• it helps to soothe the nervous system more lastingly,

• it promotes anchoring in the present moment,

• it creates an emotional imprint that facilitates the return to this state of serenity with each practice.

Taking a few minutes each day to meditate is a great way to create a space of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of the new school year. These three guided practices are a great way to create a simple, effective, and soothing ritual.
