Updates & The Solar Eclipse
Hello everyone! Posting is going to be a little different this week and next, so I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up as to what to expect. Those of us here at Mystical Moxie are going to be attending the Missouri Eclipse Festival this weekend. The festival is centered around holistic wellness and sustainability, so we're going to spend the weekend learning all kinds of new things to share with you all.
What is Occupational Wellness?
When someone mentions "wellness," most of us tend to think of mental or physical wellness. Maybe some also consider spiritual wellness. That's usually as far as it goes. However, experts define six types of wellness. Along with those already mentioned, they also recognize social, intellectual, and occupational wellness. It's this last one that I want to talk about today.
Meditation for Beginners
Quick, what's the first thing you think of when you hear the word 'meditation?' Is it a Buddhist monk cross-legged and chanting outside of a temple? How about a slim woman in yoga pants contorting her body into unfathomable positions? Maybe it's a walk through the woods while enjoying the sounds of nature? In reality, meditation is all of this and more.
