Episode 2 of Bas Paanch Minute is here! What is mental health? We hear and talk about it all the time but do we really have a good understanding of what the terms mean? In the second episode of our new weekly video series we are going back to basics-- Dr Ayesha Mian explores why language matters, what mental health really is, and how using misguided language increases stigma and misunderstanding. She discusses the mental health pyramid and its 4 distinct levels, as a first step towards mental health literacy. Also, for those who watched last week; see, we did better at coloring within the timelines! #BasPaanchMinute #MentalHealth  #MentalHealthMatters #reimaginingconnections

It's #mentalhealthawarenessmonth, so we’re spotlighting a new release that’s essential reading for anyone looking to better grasp the current mental health crisis in America. Profiles in Mental Health Courage, a new book from Equip’s own advisor Patrick J. Kennedy and journalist Stephen Fried, brings together dozens of inspiring stories of mental health resiliency. It's through books like these that we can continue to tear down the stigmas that have shadowed mental health care — including eating disorder care — for far too long.

I have the privilege of owning some of the MOST POWERFUL health and wellbeing equipment out there at this very moment in time... here is how I am so confident to say this! During the immersive event with Dan Siegel at Masters Events at Oxford University last Wednesday, Dan talked about becoming consciously aware of our bodies. Understanding the inner life of another with insight, empathy and integration. He also talked about chaos, anger, fear, being rigid in the way you experience life and how lack of nurturing in the early years can bring us out of harmony. He says it is not until you become; Flexible Adaptive Coherent Energised Stable that harmony can be restored and we can accept each other as unique individuals. He mentioned the window of tolerance and looking for ways to widen it so that we can be resilient in the hectic world around us. You have to bring yourself into the NOW, stop making everything intellectual and just FEEL! I believe that Mederi Wellness holds two of the most POWERFUL tools to help clients that have experienced trauma in their lifetime become connected back to self. The way float therapy can assist with 'getting back to self' is by allowing you, in the darkness and silence of the pod to regain the awareness of your 5 senses. You will be able to hear your heartbeat, your breath, you will feel the water around you, smell the Epsom salt in the water, taste the flavours of your morning drink or meal you had beforehand and perhaps you will see into the darkness different colour and shapes, or maybe you will see nothing and be completely in the moment. When you reach this state of consciousness (can be achieved through meditation) you reduce cortisol, improve immunity and cardio function, your cells alter and reduces inflammation in the body. So when clients come and visit us and have never tried to meditate they are entering the pods that will put them into a meditative state within minutes. If you are looking to make these improvements to your health you can speak to me directly via DM or go straight to our booking system --->https://lnkd.in/e2e5gjEC
