Stress is a part of everyday life—but learning how to calm the body’s stress response can make a meaningful difference in how we feel, sleep, and function.
Integra Direct Primary Care invites you to join Dr. Belinda Castor and Beth Buxton, CMA, ADS, for an interactive educational evening focused on practical tools to help calm the mind and body and support whole-person wellness.
The Healing Power of the Breath
Our breathing changes naturally when we are stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. Learning to intentionally change the way we breathe can be a simple yet powerful way to help quiet the mind and encourage the body to move toward a more relaxed state.
During this program, we’ll explore the healing power of the breath and practice simple breathing and meditation techniques that can be incorporated into everyday life to:
- Help reduce stress and tension
- Promote relaxation
- Quiet a busy mind
- Support more restful sleep
- Encourage a greater sense of calm and well-being
These are practical techniques that can be used almost anywhere and require no special equipment—just a few minutes and your breath.
Introducing the 5 Needle Protocol (5NP)
We’ll also introduce participants to 5NP (5 Needle Protocol), a simple auricular acupuncture approach involving five specific points on each ear.
We’ll discuss what 5NP is, how it is used, and how this approach may fit into a broader whole-person wellness plan designed to support relaxation, stress management, and overall well-being.
