How To Protect Your Clitoris, Mastering Mindfulness & What Really Happens When You Skip Your Period
View Transcript
Episode Description
What is mindfulness and is it different to meditation? We go to Med School to find out what a clitoral hood is and what it does. And in our Quick Consult, we find out what actually happens when you skip your period?
In this episode, Dr Richard Chambers discusses the different types of meditation and how it can help both your physical and mental health.
We ask whether meditation and mindfulness offer the same benefits as physical rest and talk about the impact they have on your parasympathetic nervous system.
We also talk about how to calm your mind if you wake up in the night and stay awake staring at the ceiling, as well as how to be more present and mindful in your everyday life. And, how just ten minutes of meditation a day can make a real difference.
So, how do you start? We have a one minute guided meditation for you.
