Stress linked to behind closed doors, tensions after days of teleworking, difficulty falling asleep ... The current climate invites meditation to refocus, to take care of yourself and to better live the period. Two experts in the field give the keys to get started.
	
Confined due to the epidemic of coronavirus covid-19, we find ourselves behind closed doors, in family, in couple, or alone, and this for an indefinite period. In an anxiety-provoking ambient climate and with limited possibilities of movement, it is essential not to give in to tension, to succeed in taking on oneself, to free up time and to learn to listen to oneself. To do this, meditation is an essential tool. Its benefits against stress, depression and anxiety have been proven by numerous scientific studies. Two meditation experts deliver their advice for the first sessions. How to meditate alone bellow:
