Stress Reduction: Meditation can help lower stress hormones, leading to improved mental health and a decreased risk of stress-related illnesses.

3 Ways to Celebrate World Meditation Day
This World Meditation Day, we encourage you to:
Try new meditation styles: Depending on your goals, there are so many options available today. Trying to fall asleep, check out sleep stories. Looking for a cognitive reset, try ASMR. Just need to find calm, do a guided meditation. You can check out all three on WellB.
Join a meditation group: A great way to learn quickly and create a community is to join a meditation group. You can find them online through sites like meetup.
Set yourself up for success: to have a successful practice starts with two things: time and space. Set an alarm or event in your calendar so that you have time saved. Once that is done, create a space that you want to use consistently for meditation. Make sure it is quiet, comfortable, and accessible for when you need it.
Take a moment for yourself. Find your calm. Celebrate World Meditation Day with WellB here:
