Getting Through Hard Days
With Bhanu Joy HarrisonWe all experience difficulties in our lives. We have hard days filled with loss, pain, threat, work, health and relational issues, and overwhelming societal and environmental challenges. How can we move through these difficult days with a bit more mindfulness and care? In this course we will practice mindfulness tools that you can mix and match depending on what works, what struggle you’re in and what’s happening inside you. You can use one practice or use all of them. Some are shorter ‘pocket practices’ that you can incorporate in the small moments in your life, some are longer for your more formal practice or at the end of the day when you want to decompress. We often try to find a solution to our difficulties through our minds, which at times can be helpful, however our bodies and hearts have so much to contribute to our way through our challenges. Join me in this trauma informed, somatic-based course to fill your toolbox with helpful skills. I look forward to engaging with you in the course classroom!
