It is widely recognized that mental health professionals make a key difference in the lives of others. They put other’s needs before their own; hence they become vulnerable to everyday stresses.
We know they are passionate about their work still, they are stressing out, burning out, and turning over in their jobs at alarming rates. Every day, science reveals more about the impact of stress on one’s lives as a primary cause of illness, low performance, depression, and reduced efficacy.

What is SKY?

SKY is rhythmic breathing based meditation that has been reported to bring immediate positive shifts in one’s energy, clarity, and state of mind. Breathing meditation settles the mind into deep meditation by
using the breath’s built-in ability to quiet the mind easily and naturally, so you slip into deep meditation without thinking about it. You don’t have to focus, clear your mind or watch your thoughts.
