Day 3 Mental Health Awareness Month Tip
Phenomenal morning my royalties. Today is day number three of mental health awareness month. And for you of those who are unaware. For the last Two going on three days and for the rest of this month. I have & will be making a mental health tip posting each day; of my own experience and knowledge.. Feel free to share.
Today is the next step that I personally like to take. It’s a step that is very essential and has been used for decades. This tactic is called meditation. Meditation is the practice of thinking deeply or focusing one's mind for a period of time. To help keep focus and clarity on life.
Although there are a numerous ways of POSITIONS for meditation. There lies only 3 FORMS of meditation; Vipassana, chakra, and yoga. With only seven original meditation TECHNIQUES. This is because we as humans only have seven senses, but by enhancing these senses we can open up new paths in our minds and energy allowing us to open our third eye. (Call me crazy, I know lol. ).. Each type does different things to the human brain. As shown in the 3rd photo I shared here.
-Vipassana is a gentle-yet-thorough technique of meditation. It’s told to be an observation-based, self-exploratory journey that focuses on deep interconnection between the mind and body, which is realised through disciplined attention to the physical sensations.
-Chakra is a Sanskrit word that literally means a disk/wheel.
Chakra meditation thus involves a transfer of energy wheels throughout the entire body. ... Each of these chakras is regarded as the ultimate focal point linking your emotional, physical and spiritual energies.
-Yoga Yoga is movement to prepare one's body to do more formal types of meditation. It's that simple. On the way to sitting for long periods, yoga practices stretch and soothe the body into postures, called 'asana' practices. These have come from many lineages of yoga and are as varied as the night sky.
Here are the main 7 Techniques ,
-Sight
Sight or vision is the capability of the eyes to focus and detect images of visible light and generate electrical nerveimpulses for varying colors, hues, and brightness. Visual perception is how the brain processes these impulses – recognising, differentiating and interpreting visual stimuli through comparison with experiences made earlier in life.
-Smell
Smell or olfaction is our ability to detect scent – chemical, odour molecules in the air. Our olfactory system begins in our nose which has hundreds of olfactory receptors. Odour molecules possess a variety of features and, thus, excite specific receptors more or less strongly. This combination of excitement is interpreted by the brain to perceive the ‘smell’.
How olfactory information is coded in the brain to allow for proper perception is still being researched and the process is not completely understood, however, what is known is that the chemical nature of the odorant is particularly important, as there may be a chemotopic map in the brain.
-Taste
Taste, or gustation, refers to the capability to detect the taste of substances such as food, certain minerals, and poisons, etc. The sense of taste is often confused with the “sense” of flavour, which is a combination of taste and smell perception.
Humans receive tastes through sensory organs called taste buds concentrated on the upper surface of the tongue. There are five basic tastes: sweet, bitter, sour, salty and umami.
-Hearing
Hearing, or audition, is the ability to perceive sound by detecting vibrations, changes in the pressure of the surrounding medium through time, through an organ such as the ear. As with sight, auditory processing relies on how the brain interprets, recognises and differentiates sound stimuli.
-Touch
Touch, or somatosensory, is a perception resulting from activation of neural receptors, generally in the skin including hair follicles and a variety of pressure receptors respond to variations in pressure (firm, brushing, sustained, etc.).
The somatosensory system is a diverse sensory system that is spread through all major parts of our body. At its simplest, the system works when activity in a sensory receptor is triggered by a specific stimulus (such as heat); this signal eventually passes to an area in the brain uniquely attributed to that area on the body and this allows the processed stimulus to be felt at the correct location.
-Vestibular
The vestibular system explains the perception of our body in relation to gravity, movement and balance. The vestibular system measures acceleration, g-force, body movements and head position. Examples of the vestibular system in practice include knowing that you are moving when you are in an elevator, knowing whether you are lying down or sat up, and being able to walk along a balance beam.
-Proprioception
Proprioception is the sense of the relative position of neighbouring parts of the body and strength of effort being employed in movement. This sense is very important as it lets us know exactly where our body parts are, how we are positioned in space and to plan our movements. Examples of our proprioception in practice include being able to clap our hands together with our eyes closed, write with a pencil and apply with correct pressure, and navigate through a narrow space.
Not only does it help us to find all of our senses but it also Emotional Intelligence. … Trigger the brain's relaxation response, reduces, anxiety, depression & enhances our overall health. Stress reduction is one of the most common reasons people try meditation. Normally, mental and physical stress cause increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This produces many of the harmful effects of stress, such as the release of inflammation-promoting chemicals called cytokines. The purpose of meditation is not to change our mind, but to awaken the self that is aware of it. Just like anything else this also takes practice. Remember don’t over practice. Take your time and don’t give up, you’ll get that hang of it in no time!
I’ve added a few photos of meditation positions & I will also be adding a Royalty Mindset course in the Money King & Queen Inc. when it’s open for new members. Meditation has been one of the very most reasons I am a survivor ❣️ make it a great day my Royals!
