Sakura meditation naturally lowers your stress levels by activating the parasympathetic autonomous nervous system. This is a resting state that is deeper than any point of sleep giving your mind and body a much needed chance to realign and repair the systems that are unbalanced in your body.

Our amygdala (the part of the brain that is responsible for the fight/flight response) begins to calm down and along with it we begin to feel more settled and relaxed, not just during the meditation but also throughout the rest of the day.

Levels of cortisol are reduced by up to a third, at the same time our brain is flooded with ‘happy hormones’ making us more resilient to future unnecessary stress.

At the same time our nervous system starts to eliminate all the toxic emotions from the past experiences that we have been carrying around in our bodies. This will make room to naturally form new behaviors and habits without the impact of the old regressive patterns.
