We often overlook one of the most important aspects of improving mental health. Despite your best intentions to calm your emotions, you may find yourself continuously triggered by stress. In today's episode, you'll explore a mudra technique to help you manage emotions that get away from you when you experience stress.   I think most people agree that the world needs more loving-kindness. This week, take part in the ancient tradition of Ahimsa, or non-violence, from Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. Discover how harmful thoughts are considered to be as violent as physical violence. This is part of a collection of meditation series focused on sending more peace and love into the world. You'll release negative thoughts and cultivate a calmer, kinder approach to the problems in the world today.   Join us in part 4 of this week's Loving-Kindness series. You'll be guided to release negative, harmful thoughts and replace your thoughts with loving-kindness.   This is part 4 of a 7-part Loving-Kindness meditation series episodes 2096-2102.   THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Every day, consciously send loving-kindness to yourself, others, and the world.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES:   Affirmation - "I send loving-kindness to those around me.." Breathing - Inhale: Send out loving-kindness. Exhale: Release negative thoughts.
