Do you meditate? Meditation is a wonderful tool to help you get grounded and refocused. Meditation can help reduce stress, control anxiety, improve sleep and has many other health benefits too. You can start a meditation practice with just 2 minutes a day and gradually increase your time as you become more comfortable with it. Check out this article we found on mediation from the Mayo Clinic on the benefits of meditation and how to get started: https://lnkd.in/dZFsgsp #purelivingfamily #nonprofit #autismawareness #parenting #selfcare #wellness #getoutside #functionalmedicine #nature #health #meditation

The beauty of community. 💞 Events such as the retreats that we host with BOSS Retreats allow us to heal in community. We wound one another, so naturally, we need one another to heal. We learn so much from others as they are our mirrors. When we collectively learn, grow and dive into ourselves in community, we start to realize how similar we all actually are. We realize we are not the only ones carrying pain, moving through trauma, facing everyday struggles and trying to just be better versions of ourselves everyday. The compassion, understanding, presence and love we recieve really shifts who we are. We immerse ourselves, take ourselves out of our everyday environment and we learn. You will be your greatest mystery to uncover. Everyone around us shines their light on us in their unique way to help guide our journey. We host retreats so you can discover more of yourself with likeminded souls. I am honoured to stand by 2 women that have dramatically amplified healing, growth, opportunity and connection in my life. Our next retreat is going to be BIG! Manifesting abundance in 2024 - because you can, and deserve, to have it all 👑.

Carlos Del Rio This clip is providing some various benefits to incorporating consistent meditation practice. The purpose of this series is to empower, educate, and model vulnerability amongst men, particularly men of color as for many of us we don't see this anywhere. The hope is for more honest discussions and learning how necessary this is for us to create this space and engage with emotionally available people. As men, we can learn to be more comfortable sharing and creating more fulfilling relationships with others. #inspirewellnessolutions #relationshiptherapist #selfimprovement #family #mentalhealth #blackmentalhealth #latinomentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #socialmedia Buy a Boba Tea: https://lnkd.in/eyAKm4Mg Donate to Support the Channel: https://lnkd.in/eW_P_-ft Important Note: No advice, guidance, or any part of this discussion would be considered therapy and is only for the purposes of engaging in a much needed dialogue regarding mental health.

"Silence is the most powerful scream." I saw this quote, and internally felt a strong ‘ouch.’  It really spoke to me of the unknown author knowing quite some distress and discomfort.  Yes, silence can be excruciating, and it can loudly speak of agony.  And, silence can be cosy, comfortable, enveloping, accepting…it can be so many things. I guess the truth about silence is that it is whatever we project into it.  Silence gives us the space to understand what it is that we are experiencing, in relation to ourselves, and/or in relation to other people when we are with them or thinking of them. Meditation is a practice based on the insight that silence reveals.  Sitting (or standing or lying) still, breathing, and being aware of what is arising, moving through and leaving in our bodymind is a very useful practice.  It lets you know what it is that you need, which is essential knowledge for effective self-care. The idea of meditation can be daunting, and indeed, it can reveal things that it can perhaps seem easier to keep out of awareness.  Trouble is, it is this swerving of feelings and thoughts that leads to the scream of the silence.  What is brought into the light and sat with can dissipate, what is repressed can not. If meditation is new for you, there are many ways of taking small steps to safely explore it.  There are a plethora of apps that can help you, and there are many classes and groups across the UK where you may meet people with similar interests and receive support and guidance. For 1:1 support with mindfulness and self-knowledge, feel free to get in touch.  Here’s more information about the way I work with clients: https://lnkd.in/efPaGV2 #mindfulness #meditation #therapist

Finding Peace: How a Meditation Retreat Helped Me Through Grief I just returned from a three-day intensive silent meditation retreat. I sought out this retreat because the grief and sorrow I've been experiencing at times is overwhelming. When you lose a partner and aren't married, you face many biases that accompany grief: -Your grief isn't seen as valid. -You lose contact with the family. -You are considered "less than" the title of husband or wife. I've experienced all of these. Grief is rooted in love, not in a title or the length of time spent together. While I've tried workouts, energy treatments, and various self-care routines, they provided only temporary relief. My mind remained unsettled. Truthfully, I would have done anything to ease even a fraction of the pain in my heart. In my experience, while searching for answers outside of myself, the pain and discomfort I feel are signals to look within. At the retreat, I had the opportunity to spend time with the Buddhist Monk leading the sessions and deeply valued his wisdom and insight. He graciously offered to conduct a special ceremony for Raph and me, for which I am genuinely grateful. It was meaningful to do something special, in my own way, to honour Raph's memory. This retreat was a small step forward in my healing journey, and I left feeling a little lighter and more at peace. ........................................... (There's much more to share about my takeaways from this experience. Stay tuned!) #retreat #meditation #grief #stressmanagement Jessica DePhillips Erin O'Mara Melissa Cohen Kerry Connor

Grief is a natural and universal response to losing someone or something we love. It can affect us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. But grief is not something we have to suffer alone. There is a way to heal and move forward. And that way can be a retreat - a deliberate escape from the everyday that offers a powerful balm for your grieving heart. A retreat can help you to step outside the familiar surroundings that echo with memories, and create a sacred space to confront, process, and transcend the pain. A retreat can also help you to connect with nature, which offers solace and renewal, and with others who share similar struggles, fostering understanding and empathy. You can choose a retreat that suits your needs and preferences, from a nature retreat, to a grief-specific program, to a creative workshop. Or you can sign up for the FREE “Yoga for Grief Retreat - Nourishing Practices for Heartfelt Healing” at the link in bio. The program is specially created and curated to guide you in how to cope with grief and loss through yoga, meditation and breath-work. Ready to join me in practice?
