Dear #LinkedInCommunity #LinkedInConnections #LinkedInFamily 🌟 Embracing True Compassion: Bridging Wisdom with Science 🌟 Self-compassion holds the key to fostering well-being, kindness towards others, and numerous positive outcomes. Yet, in our journey, we encounter the misuse of self-compassion as an excuse for self-centeredness. In wisdom traditions, this imbalance is addressed to prevent mindfulness practices from straying into selfishness. Join Steven C. Hayes in a transformative talk where he delves into the gap between scientific research and ancient wisdom. Discover how recent breakthroughs are paving the way for a more personalized approach to personal growth and change. 🔍 Explore the link between: 🧠 Scientific insights and ancient wisdom 🌱 Balancing self-compassion with empathy 🌟 Achieving genuine personal and societal well-being Watch the enlightening discussion here: Link: https://lnkd.in/gM9agFmv Global Compassion Coalition #GlobalCompassionCoalition Steven C.

In Europe, there is an urgent need for spaces of healing, deep listening, and restoration, and for nurturing the quality of conversations in all spheres and sectors. The urgency is heightened by a global context of the poly-/meta-crisis, marked by the fragility of health and social systems, a rise of loneliness, and declining health outcomes; what a recent UN global human development report has termed the “new global uncertainty complex”. There are several important initiatives “born” in Europe that already have a global reach (Inner Development Goals, Pocket Project, Presencing Institute/Theory U Labs), but none of them places an explicit focus on health or cancer care. It is important to explore how Healing Circles can link with these initiatives and how new spaces and social architecture can be supported in the context of integrative cancer care, where Commonweal is making its mark in the US and where Europe lags behind. A recent Healing Circles Global  retreat in Bulgaria catalyzed European practitioners to step forward and support the emergence of new ideas and collaborations that can support actions toward a broader vision for integral health (the health of the individual is connected to that of culture/ society and the soil/the system), and a recognition of the value of knowledge sharing, mentorship, and joint learning between members and teams from the US and Europe. Our next steps involve planning for on-line and f2f healing circles and retreats in Europe, and for a reunion of all the European Hosts who have participated in our “How to Host a Healing Circles” training. Please reach out if  you’d like more information or want to participate.

Why have a designated summit for Spiritually Aware Families? For many of us, spirituality is woven into our lives. We meditate, notice our breathing, or merely try to be present in our lives, and parent consciously. Weaving spiritual tools and practices and sharing the spiritual vocabulary with our children often requires awareness, as it is yet to align with all aspects of modern lives. More... Many children born today come with extraordinary gifts and sensitivities. Some can see energy, feel others' emotions, hear others' thoughts, and communicate with those who have transitioned into other dimensions. Parents find themselves raising these amazing beings who are agents of change, continuously inviting growth and expansion. Most have no prior related experience or knowledge. ... That's why Eva Goulette, and I, felt the call to gather practitioners working with spiritually aware children, parents, or families and create a shared base of knowledge. The speakers are both experts, and as all of us, souls on a journey. I am grateful for the deep, profound wisdom they each shared, and invite you to join us at THE SPIRITUALLY AWARE FAMILIES SUMMIT - March 3-10: https://lnkd.in/ddaDa_gg

Influence of Midlife Crisis 🌅 A midlife crisis can trigger infidelity as men reassess their lives and seek to recapture their youth or explore new experiences. This period of self-reflection and existential questioning can lead to impulsive decisions, including cheating. Understanding the emotional turmoil of a midlife crisis and addressing it through supportive dialogue and professional guidance can help navigate this challenging phase without damaging the relationship. 🌄🖤 #MidlifeCrisis #Infidelity #SelfReflection #SupportiveDialogue https://lnkd.in/eBkyraPG

The only way I have truely found to process my rage and anger has been through Breathwork sessions. Gabor Mate here talks about the visceral experience of rage and anger and only by allowing ourselves to experience it can it be processed. The moments where we held it in, held it down compressed the energy in the body keep the energy stuck. When we can breathe into the body and access the cellular memory and energy of the suppression of it, it can actually be released safely. It is easier to release when we feel encouraged and held to go there. It does leave the body when we can feel and express it fully and safely. Rage can be released in a permissive environment with like minded and appropriately trained facilitators. In my training at First-Breath this sort of environment is nurtured over several weeks of group work, moving into the rage and anger gradually. It is advanced work and nourishing for anyone’s system. We all have rage to release if we have been shamed in our life. I would not trust a therapist who believes it cannot be released safely or who believes rage and anger can be processed just by talking about it. #breathwork #breathworkhealing #rage #anger #shame #trust #permissive #visceral #bodybased #emotionalhealing #emotionalwellbeing #somatichealing
