It’s that time of year again. The school year is restarting for students everywhere. Going back to school must have been an emotional time for me. All these decades later I still feel that cocktail of anticipation (new classes, supplies, and clothes) dread (will the other kids in my class be nice to me?), and loss (summer is over...waah).
Over the next few weeks I will be posting health and wellness tips for students starting with the Afterschool Energy Reset. I designed this 10-minute guided meditation practice for teens to clear excess energy from school in preparation for whatever comes next in the student’s day.
Techniques in this video include:
Healing Head Hold Adapted from Terrence Bennett’s Touch for Health Neuro/Vascular Points
