Shift Work

Shift work – and particularly night shifts – wreaks absolute havoc on our body’s natural circadian rhythms and put a significant stress-load on the systems of the body.

As a result, our stress response becomes over-activated, and we increase the risk of a number of physiological and psychological problems - including cardiovascular, digestive, immunosuppressive and fertility issues.

Our bodies become stuck on the fight or flight response which throws our hormone and chemical balance out of line.

This is compounded by the effects of unhealthy lifestyle choices which so often go hand in hand with working tough hours.

Beeja meditation offers an effective way to help restore balance and harmony to our disturbed circadian rhythm.

It allows us to gain the deep rest your body needs and craves (up to five times deeper than the deepest point in sleep) and ensures we get plenty of slow wave cycle rest so that we can keep our body functioning optimally.

Beeja also helps to relieve stress and anxiety. And it is one of the most effective treatments for insomnia. There’s nothing worse than the feeling of physical exhaustion when your mind remains wired and won’t let you sleep.

If you are no longer working in shifts but still suffer from its effects, we would suggest you still consider learning this practice of meditation to help restore balance.

Without even trying, you will become more conscious about the food you eat and how much you drink and smoke. 

The cherry on the cake is that Beeja will also leave you feeling more engaged with the work you do, more energised, and more connected to the world around you.
