Benefits of Cacao: Cacao is packed with flavonoids. It has been shown to help lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, and aid in preventing blood clots. Cacao is a super-food—the dried seeds at the root of chocolate—is also one of the highest sources of magnesium in nature, full of antioxidants, calcium, zinc, copper and selenium. Cacao contains more antioxidants per gram than blueberries, goji berries, red wine, raisins, prunes and even pomegranates. Drinking cacao may increase the number of good bacteria in your gut. Research shows that eating dark chocolate can reduce stress. Benefits of Meditation: Meditation can help reduce stress and also reduce symptoms in people with stress-triggered medical conditions. Consistent meditation can help reduce anxiety and improve stress reactivity and coping skills. Some meditation can improve depression and reduce negative thoughts. Meditation may build your ability to redirect and stay present. The improved focus you can gain through regular meditation may boost your memory and mental clarity. Metta, or loving-kindness meditation, is a practice of developing positive feelings, first toward yourself and then toward others. Metta increases positivity, empathy, and compassionate behavior toward others. Meditation can diminish the perception of pain in the brain. Blood pressure decreases not only during meditation but also over time in individuals who meditate regularly. This can reduce strain on the heart and arteries, helping prevent heart disease. Benefits of Sound Therapy: Deep relaxation is one of the most significant benefits of sound therapy. Sound therapy has been found to be effective for reducing stress. Many people use sound therapy to get relief from chronic headaches and migraines. Sound therapy can also help you regain focus. When the correct frequency vibrates around your body, it creates a healing environment where the body and mind start to heal itself. Sound Therapy enables an individual to relax deeply, achieving an altered state of consciousness similar to deep meditation. Space is limited to 18. Please bring your own mat, blanket, eye pillow and journal. Kingsya is a licensed massage therapist who is currently studying nutrition and health coaching at the Institute of Integrated Nutrition.
