COURSE
Getting Through Hard Days
With Bhanu Joy Harrison
We 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!

Beautifully laid out, helpful for those in actual demand for support, also helpful in a way of creating us a cushion of resilience, self-love, kindness and grace, to land on, when life presents a hard time. THANK YOU.

The practices 'just like me', 'focusimg on impermanence' are very helpful and I can use them to be more compassionate towards myself when facing challenging situations.

Very helpful tools to help me get through a difficult recovery from total knee replacement surgery - my second (R) which is much more challenging than my first (L) that went much better than anticipated. This course helps my chart a more realistic focused approach to recovery. ❤️🩹

This has been a helpful course to normalize my experience as I navigate the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in Asheville. "Of course" I feel all the things. It is a calamity. "Just like me" there are thousands struggling in the region. And "impermanence" is the hallmark of this kind of a disaster. Thanks for sharing these tools!
