“To help and heal others you have to start with yourself”

“What affects the mind affects the body, and what affects the body affects the mind in a continuous conversation.”
- Jason Cooper
“Frequent triggering of the brain’s innate fight or flight mechanism without setting aside time to relax our sympathetic nervous systems can lead to negative health outcomes such as anxiety, poor sleep, cardiovascular problems, gastrointestinal problems, suppression of the immune system, and more. Mindfulness can rewire our brains so that our reactions to acute stress are less likely to trigger the fight or flight system.”

“There is power in doing something for yourself and empowering others to do the same.”
