It’s common belief that stress starts in our mind, which then sends signals down to the rest of our body to tense up, with shoulders tight, jaw clenched, tummy unsettled. Modern neuroscience- and the Buddha- tell us that training our body to instead send messages upwards to our mind is a powerful yet underused approach to alleviating stress. Give this meditation, which encourages the body to send relaxation messages to the mind, a try- it’s one of my favorites!
