Be the Tree is a metaphor for finding peace and calm within, amidst problems and chaos in life. Learn how to tap into the autonomic nervous system to get back to being still and chill like a tree, even while faced with major life change. In this episode, RosieO introduces the moral code for being a good human (seen through the lense of a yogi) and a way to measure if meditation is working by using brain waves.**When one remains stoic and poised like an ancient oak tree, they watch as life happens around them. If we can learn to stop and just sit for a bit each day, we are teaching our nervous system how to deactivate the fight/flight sympathetic system so we can heal our bodies naturally.
