Morning friends, I’m delighted to be part of the Insight Timer 10-day Dopamine Rebalance Challenge beginning today! (25th March). I'd love you to join me! I’ll be guiding a short NSDR (non-sleep-deep-rest) meditation on day 3. Research shows that NSDR is associated with increased dopamine release in the brain’s reward centres during the practice. It also reduces stress and lowers overall stimulation. Together, this allows the reward system to stabilise rather than spike.It’s a great way to steady your dopamine system. The challenge is FREE to join. Simply head over to the Insight Timer App or click the link below to join in. Love Mandy
