Other Secrets

At times, feelings of anxiety can make eating difficult, so focus on consuming warm, cooked, nourishing meals that soothe both body and mind. Including a variety of whole foods in your meals and snacks throughout the day can ensure a balanced intake of nutrients, supporting mental well-being and helping manage anxiety symptoms.

Spend time in nature and sunlight

Walking or being immersed in nature can significantly reduce stress and improve cognitive health.
Spending time near water—such as oceans, lakes, or rivers—can help reduce anxiety and ease mental fatigue. If you’re not near a body of water, even viewing paintings, photographs, or videos featuring water can offer similar benefits. Many of our videos include beautiful footage of oceans, streams, and lakes. For example, Inspiration: Sunrise Meditations (found in the second secret) provides a wonderful way to gaze at ocean scenes, while listening to the comforting Yoga Sound.
Daily exposure to sunlight helps regulate vitamin D levels, which can improve mood and well-being. Light therapy (using light to mimic sunlight) can be effective in winter when natural sunlight can be scarce.
Go barefoot in nature whenever you can to help you feel grounded.

Reduce time on social media

Use social media in moderation. Limit usage to 30 minutes per day to help improve overall well-being.

Kirtan animado: Meditación en grupo

Calm your mind and relax your body through breathing, relaxation, and meditation. Dedicate just a few minutes each day to one of these guided techniques to bring a soothing relaxation response within your body.

Soothe the nervous system

During a panic or anxiety attack, your nervous system is working overtime, causing symptoms such as a racing heart, a trembling body, and rapid breathing. Inducing the relaxation response soothes the nervous system, helping to lower the heart rate and blood pressure, and slow breathing. The meditation techniques included in this secret encourage the relaxation response:

Humming and singing loudly stimulate the vagus nerve, as it is connected to your vocal cords. This nerve plays a vital role in regulating the heart rate, breathing, digestion, and elimination. Try Aum Hari Aum Breathing, Brahmari Pranayam w/Yoga Sound, or sing along to our Enlivening Kirtan.
Breathing exercises help to slow your breathing. Practice Aum Hari Aum Breathing.
Guided relaxation: Progressive muscle relaxation helps bring your body back into a state of relaxation. Try our guided techniques, such as Release & Relax and Yoga Sound Relaxation.

Create a calming ambience

To help create a conducive environment for relaxation, add our Lavender Essential Oil or Unwind Essential Oil Blend to our to our Yogaroma™ Ceramic Diffuser while doing the techniques. Alternatively, spritz our Lavender Hydrosol around the room.

Lavender oil massage

Gently massage your temples, neck, and soles of your feet with a few drops of our Lavender + Jojoba Oil Blend and inhale the comforting aroma.
