VIDEO: The city of Phoenix is introducing a new tool to promote total mental and physical health for its first responders.
In partnership with Scottsdale-based Vincere Cancer Center, which screens Valley first responders for occupational cancer free of charge, the city is adding Deepak Chopra InnerSpace meditation grounding devices to Phoenix fire stations and police precincts.
“Grounding removes the inflammation from your body. It helps restore normal sleep cycles and help with (post-traumatic stress disorder), as well as … help restore your sympathetic nervous system to a regulated state,” Patricia Hacker, co-founder of Deepak Chopra InnerSpace, told KTAR News 92.3 FM on Monday.
