Here's a breakdown of how Alcohol affects the body. This is an age old topic, and one that has been played out so much.

It helps to understand the exact science. This has nothing to do with morals, or to drink or not to drink. These are just the facts, which can help us make educated decisions.

We all know, and have experienced how alcohol affects our sleep. One drink reduces REM sleep by up to 24% in the first 1/2 of your sleep time. REM sleep is important because its the part of sleep where emotional processing, memory consolidation and NERVOUS SYSTEM repair occurs. Pranayama and Yogic relaxation techniques, like Yoga Nidra, are designed to induce restorative sleep. So in other words, one glass of wine can undo, what 20 minutes of Yoga breathing and relaxation does.

Alcohol also affects GABA.

What is GABA?

GABA is the brain's primary…

Inspiration is the Cosmos talking to you.

It comes in glimpses.

It comes in dreams.

It comes in flashes, flutters, figments.

That is the universe talking to you.

WE HAVE ALL FELT THIS BEFORE.

I was given the opportunity to extend this invitation to my community!
