Employee health and wellness programs can take many forms including programs for mindfulness, sound baths, meditation, movement practices, breathwork, community connection exercises, and emotional regulation practices.
Sound frequency-oriented practices can be especially profound for over-stressed and over-stimulated employees. For example, recent studies suggest that certain sound frequencies can have positive effects on mental health by influencing electromagnetic activity within the brain. Studies show that auditory beat stimulation can help reduce anxiety by switching the brain into the Theta frequency range which can release endorphins that decrease blood pressure and heart rate and promote focus and creativity.
Movement and emotional regulation practices that connect the mind and body through mindfulness (such as dance or other somatic-emotional practices) have been shown to decrease cortisol in the body, promote self-regulation from difficult emotions, and reduce chronic pain.
Mindful breathing exercises can improve oxygen flow to the brain, aiding in mental clarity and cognitive function, and can help in managing anxiety symptoms, promoting a calmer and more focused mind.
