A brilliant initiative designed to help South Africans ease their brains and reduce stress for free has officially been launched! Meet the Earthchild Project’s ‘Take 5’:
South Africa (08 August 2024) — The Earthchild Project has launched a brilliant initiative designed to support the betterment of our brains, mental health and well-being across South Africa—the ‘Take 5’ initiative!
‘Take 5’ is a positive solution to more and more South Africans dealing with stress, anxiety and general mental health disruption by offering people access to a free and practical tool to help us all relax, recharge and become more resilient as individuals and as communities in the pursuit of a more peaceful South Africa.
Because the little moments of stress can add up so significantly to the point that we forget that our most overwhelming moments happen as their own version of a ‘death by a thousand paper cuts’, the same should be said for the opposite: little calm moments can add up to big moments of peace.
One of the best ways to integrate mindfulness and little calm moments into our daily lives is by meditating—which is exactly what the Earthchild Project is sharing with all of us.
Through a free meditation track, the initiative is offering a no-cost experience designed to help us all prioritise self-care a little more. To date, over 12,000 people have already signed up for their ‘Take 5’ experience.
How ‘Take 5’ Works
When participants sign up, Earthchild will provide them with a free 5-minute mediation track so they can quite literally take 5 in their own spaces and time every day during the month of September.
In a bigger nod to accessibility, the audio meditation is available in multiple languages including English, isiXhosa, isiZulu, seSotho and Afrikaans. The audio is designed for everyone across South Africa regardless of age, gender, culture or location.
