Adventures in Attitude: The Power of Gratitude Webinar
The challenges of social isolation and being separated from work and other positive social experiences often brings up feelings of frustration, irritation, helplessness, and low energy. In helping people transform negative emotions and low energy states into positive, productive ones I have found it valuable to help people gain access to the inner experience of Gratitude. During this video, I will share with you what I have learned and a guided imagery meditation for accepting loss and change and moving on with enthusiasm and gratitude. “Happiness is watching a sunset and knowing whom to thank.”
End of Lockdown? Adapting Emotionally to the “New Normal” Webinar
In many ways, the lockdown has dislodged us from a familiar sense of ourselves and the rhythms of our usual activities and relationships. Now, looming in front of us, are the difficult contradictions posed by the challenges of how to enter the now very different and strange external world again. Is it safe to go to dinner yet? Should we wear masks? Can we shake hands or hug people we haven’t seen for months? What do politics have to do with all this anyway? A New Normal?
We are becoming aware we can’t go back to how things were. We have to find a way to accept and survive and thrive in this new normal. The pressure of having to adjust to a panoply of unknowns is the very definition of stress. To relieve this stress there will be the temptation to return to old escape behaviors (anger, frustration, arguments, addiction), abusing ourselves and others (guilt, shame, blame, fear, anxiety,), or hiding (depression, withdrawal, despair). In this webinar, we will explore some more positive alternatives. We have some new tools for harnessing the energy of stress and finding opportunities for growth and positive change in the future. These tools include entering the present moment through deep relaxation and meditative techniques, awakening Self-awareness and inner wisdom, envisioning our desired future, and creating that future through guided imagery.
Personal Growth Through Loss and Letting Go Webinar
Nobody likes to lose! Whether it is a prized possession, a job, money, a physical or mental ability, or a loved one. Yet life is filled with losses, and we must lose everything before we leave the world. Grief hurts, but we can grow through healthy grieving and releasing that which we no longer have. This extraordinary era has brought anxiety, fear, and real loss to most of us. Often we try to deny our emotions, or we get stuck in sadness, depression, frustration, or tense anxiety. In this video, I will explore how to do this and I share a guided imagery meditation to embody the principles of accepting change and moving on.
