Green noise is a mid-range frequency often associated with nature sounds such as waterfalls or rustling leaves. It can also drown out disruptive noises such as traffic, snoring, or wind! Green noise can reduce stress, improve focus, and promote relaxation.

Give it a good listen. Meditate on how you feel when listening to this sound. If you have questions, give TBCC a call 806-336-9454.

Color noises are different types of sound spectra defined by how power is distributed across frequencies, used for focus, relaxation, and sleep. The main types include white (all frequencies), pink (balanced/nature), brown (bass-heavy), and others like blue (high-pitch) and green (ambient), each offering unique auditory experiences.

Pink Noise: (Balanced/Nature): Features lower frequencies having more power than higher ones, creating a softer, more balanced sound than white noise. It sounds like steady rain, rustling leaves, or wind, and is often used to improve sleep and relaxation.

Monday Mental Health Matters:

The word “meditation” tends to illicit some really negative responses. I think we all have some preconceived notions about meditation that may be creating concerns. By definition, meditation is simply “FOCUSED ATTENTION.”Meditation is essential for brain health and positive mental wellness. Our brains need focused attention, especially in a world where we are constantly and chronically distracted. Practice focusing your attention-meditating-for at least a short time each day. Choose to focus on what makes you feel good and healthy (I.e. prayer, song, nature, relationships, love, warmth, etc.)

For help getting started with meditation, contact TBCC at 806-336-9454!

Wellness Wednesday:

One of the healthiest things you can do for your mental wellbeing is CONNECT! Connecting with others reduces stress, anxiety, and depression and helps you heal from relational traumas. There’s safety in numbers! Connection speaks to our most basic human need-love and belonging. It also helps foster purpose and self-worth. Most importantly, connection builds resilience for when life is hard. Here’s some simple suggestions for connection:
-Prioritize face-to-face communication: Say “good morning” to people in your community; practice active listening
-Get a hobby-create quality time by engaging in shared experiences (I.e. Bible study, knit club, yoga class, etc)
-Be vulnerable: ask someone to help you with small tasks
-Seek support: reach out! Purposefully

Put your phones down and go connect! Well first…use your phone to call TBCC for support…then put your phone down! (806)336-9454.

Wellness Wednesday:

A simple act of physical touch can have amazing healing benefits for your mental health. Physical touch, such as hugging, holding hands, or massages, significantly boosts mental health by lowering stress hormones like cortisol and increasing "feel-good" hormones like oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. It reduces anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness while fostering trust, safety, and emotional bonding. Touch activates the nervous system, calming the brain's amygdala (fear center) and reducing heart rate and blood pressure. Regular, consensual touch is linked to lower levels of depression, anxiety, and improved mood. A lack of physical contact, known as "touch starvation," can increase stress, anxiety, and depression. Physical touch is one of the 5 love languages; without regular appropriate touch, people can feel lonely and unloved. Even self-soothing touch, such as placing a hand on your heart, can help reduce stress and improve mental health.

For resources for touch therapy or suggestions on how to give or receive appropriate touch, call TBCC (806)336-9454.
