 |
Category: Health and Happiness When: Sunday, February 21, 2010 Time: 11:00 – 12:00 PM |
For some people who suffer from anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, or the negative spiral of thoughts that often accompanies depression, it’s important to learn self-soothing techniques that can allow the busy mind to rest. Learn an evidence-based meditation practice that gives the busy mind a bone.
In this training, Amy will discuss the clinical applications of this practice, providing a psychological understanding of the nadis and the chakras. You will learn and practice the LifeForce Yoga® Chakra Clearing Meditation (LFYCCM), a technique that engages and focuses the mind with sound, breath, and hand gestures called mudras. Experienced meditators can benefit from these techniques too. If you regularly sit, it helps to have a technique to clear your mind so that more of your twenty or thirty minutes is spent floating on the still pond of your mind, observing the ripples and waves of your thoughts and feelings and less on drowning in them.
