Self Care Program for enhanced wellbeing
The purpose of the program is to support you to feel more at home in your body and life. That is to have a circle of friendliness between your heart and soul, body and environment. In the coming months, I will put more detail here in the summary of the sections. It is all in the book Sustainable Wellbeing but as a different structure. This would enable a circle of friends to go through the program together, supporting each other to expand their wellbeing. From my viewpoint, I would like to see more people going through the program than I can take through individually.
When I take people through I seek to help you by providing a safe, confidential space that you can ask questions in, reflect, rejoice, cry, scream, laugh, whatever you need. I will have your back with kindness and friendliness. To observe and celebrate you. The discovery, liberation and radiation of your greater wellbeing capacity.
In the first section taking the time to reflect on the suggestions in the book of what wellbeing is and deciding what it means for you at this stage of your life.
From the beginning you will be using three tools, for exploration, that enable you to expand beyond any limitations or challenges in life stage or starting point.
They are your breath, imagination, and observation. These tools are freely available to you all the time.
To begin if you can start by spending 1-10 minutes per day just breathing. Not anything else just returning to noticing what happens when you breathe. What sensations you experience, what you feel and hear.
With your imagination each day, focus on kindness come into you and going out from you. It does not matter how long you do it for or how often – just at least once. Be creative, as examples one time it may be as a colour beam, another time as a little animal.
Observing is a great teacher -it is part of feedback development systems in our body and nature. Observe how you do these exercises, what feelings come up, what thoughts- are they very similar or different. Does the setting for doing the exercises illicit different thoughts and feelings or does it make a minor difference? Don’t judge- just observe and notice. The other aspect of observation is to find a plant or tree and spend some time to observe its living activity. How it copes with its environment.
