Practical, to the point, take anywhere tools for you.
Mind-Body is that life important connection between our body affecting our mind and our mind affecting our body. Two-sides of the same coin.
Mind-Body is still very much on the forefront of research and discovery. Certainly all is not known about this connection and how we can change its course. Some things work, and some things don't.
This meetup gives you the chance to learn and experiment with a broad array of techniques. Find the best ones that work for you.
Techniques taught:
- Breathing for clarity, calmness, and creativity
- Imagery for leading the body and teaching the body
- Releasing muscles with thoughts
- Metaphors and words for rapid stress relief
- Self-hypnosis for solutions and change
- New techniques such as eye movement patterns for stress relief
- Home biofeedback
- Body awareness enhancement
- Editing thoughts to manage feelings
- and more
You have heard about "mind+body" so know come learn the actual techniques.
This is a no-nonsense, quick presentation of an assortment of mind-body techniques
