📌 Regenerate With Rachana: YouTube Series:
From an anthropological stand point, our mental, emotional and physical health is a combination of activity and regeneration. Once in a while, turn off all external stimuli and allow for regeneration to happen from within. “Doing” along with “Being” intentionally in the present, will allow for neural, spirtual and emotional regeneration.
