Be Kind to Your Mind

In this session, we begin our journey into self-care by exploring the power of awareness. We practice our attentional skills in a present moment awareness exercise to cultivate the ability to live in the present, a foundation for self-awareness and self-regulation.

We expand the use of mindful awareness from session one to movement with intention and attention. Mindful movement engages both breath and body awareness as a means to releasing stress and tension from the body.

This session is all about body awareness. We practice a short mindful body scan designed to tune in to the range of sensations we experience in the body, and use these observations as a tool for insight into our self-care needs.

Positive psychology studies affirm that our thoughts and emotions subconsciously generate tremendous physiological impact. In this session, we learn how to “consciously” tap into this mind-body connection to stimulate the relaxation response in times of stress and anxiety.

Our relationship with food is at the core of our health and well-being. We use a mindful approach to explore our sensory experience as we engage with food, be aware of stressors that impact food choices and behaviors, and consider how food connects us to other beings on the planet.

This session will provide a powerful tool for dealing with difficult situations and emotions, the RAIN practice. We contemplate the growth potential of challenges and chaos as an opportunity for cultivating vulnerability, hope and healing in times of suffering.

In this final session, we engage in a mental walkthrough of the self-care journey to reflect upon insights and self-discoveries. This culminates in personalized commitment to draw upon all the tools that resonated with us the most in seven sessions to make self-care, resilience and healing a daily habit.
