Managing the stress of what the future will be with our collective health, personal lives, and that of our families and friends is something many of us are actively dealing with. Not to mention the challenge of spending almost all of our time at home. 

Here are some great resources we have been using to boost our harmony and happiness within our homes.

Finding ways to ease the mind and the spirit together can be a great way of improving your energy at home. The Saged app is an awesome service that gives you access to groups, community, wisdom, manifestation, rituals, healing, reiki all in one place. It’s free to download with in-app paid services.

yoga
Yoga is a much beloved practice for relaxing your body and giving your mind a rest. Recently the trend in Yoga offerings has been to focus on cardio, intensity, and heat. For at home we’ve listed some great services that are free on Youtube offering a more healing approach.

Meditation can be incredibly transformative if you need a time in your day to regulate. It’s also really easy to do from home. My personal fav is to add this to your morning routine. Such a great way to start your day!
