We all need a little calm in our lives. Especially with everything going on right now.
That’s why we’re pleased to offer you access to Provata VR, a FREE virtual reality meditation app.
‘WHAT’S A VIRTUAL REALITY MEDITATION APP?’
It’s a mobile application that guides you through short meditations. These include audio tracks and peaceful visuals.
‘WHY WOULD I WANT TO MEDITATE?’
Because meditation can help you:
- Reduce stress
- Improve focus
- Lower blood pressure
- Reduce risk for stroke and heart attack
And it’s really easy.
The guided meditations help you to slow down and be mindful about your thoughts and your body. You can start with a two-minute guided body scan, or you can choose longer meditations.
