Mindfulness/Self-Compassion Class

You can still join us for our 8-week Mindfulness Class, Tuesday, May 1st - 5-6:15 PM at Resilient Solutions, Inc., 1355 N. Main, Ste. 1, Bountiful, Utah.  Group is $38/group session.  Contact Becky Andrews, LPC, 801.259.3883, email: becky.lpc@gmail.com for further information.

Christopher Germer, Self-Compassion and Mindfulness, states:

Some people worry that self-compassion will close them off from other people by making them selfish and self-centered.  The reverse is actually the case -- the more open hearted we are with ourselves, the closer we feel toward the rest of life.  Self-compassion is the foundation for kindness toward others.  When we're more accepting of our own, we become more accepting of others.  Full acceptance of ourselves, moment to moment makes it easier to adapt and change in the direction we'd like to go.

Mindfulness and Well-being

Every mindful step we make and every mindful breath we take will establish peace ... If we transform our individual consciousness, we begin the process of changing the collective consciousness.  Thich Nhat Hanh

Mindfulness & Self-Compassion Course

Emotional suffering comes in all shapes and sizes. We might worry about the future, be angry or sad, feel guilty or ashamed, get upset about physical pain, or just feel bored or stressed. Sometimes it's pretty subtle - we 'don't feel great; or are 'out of sorts'. Other times we can get so taken over by anxiety, depression, addictions, pain, or stress-related symptoms that it's hard to even function. A remarkable amount of the time, being human isn't easy.
Ronald D. Siegel, PsyD The mindfulness solution

Workbook included. 

Mindful Grieving

Mindful grieving informs us to allow ourselves to feel what is there, without judgment.  For me, there was sadness there and I needed to nonjudgmentally acknowledge it, feel it, and let it be.  It was important in that moment that I didn't resist it or strive to make it any different, but just feel it as it was.  Read the full text here .

Discovering Self-Compassion

Mindfulness and Self-Compassion 8-week course to begin the week of September 12th.  Contact Christy Cox, 801.243.4959 or Becky Andrews, 801.259.3883 for details.

Discovering Self-Compassion.  Sharon Salzberg, The Force of Kindness, states:  This kind of compulsive concern with "I, me, and mine" isn't the same as loving ourselves ... Loving ourselves points us to capacities of resilience, compassion, and understanding within that are simply part of being alive. 

Mindfulness. Self-Compassion. Support.

One of our reference books for our 8-week course to begin in September will be The Mindful Path to Self-compassion by Christopher Germer, PhD. 

"... no matter how hard we try to avoid emotional pain, it follows us everywhere.  Difficult emotions - shame, anger, loneliness, fear, despair, confusion -- arrive at our door.  They come when things don't go according to our expectations, whe we're separated from loedd ones, and as a part of ordinary sickness, old age, and death.  IT's just not possible to avoid feeling bad.  But we can learn to deal with misery and distress in a new, healthier way..." 

Contact Christy Cox, LCSW, 801.243.4959 or Becky Andrews, LPC, 801.259.3883 for details on our course at Resilient Solutions, Inc to begin Tuesday, September 13th (10- 11:15) or Wednesday, Septemer 14th (5:00 - 6:15). 

Mindfulness

I just returned from five days in San Diego ... three of which were for The Art of Mindfulness and Counseling. Perhaps you know you are in the right profession when the day flies by as you soak in 8 hours of amazing messages including an invitation to be silent for 30 minutes during one of our breaks. I whispered to Cricket, Find the Room, where she took me back to our hotel room (good girl!) and then we walked out to this beautiful area just outside our room. Cricket and I sat for our silence: sunshine, birds chirping, a slight ocean breeze near the Torrey Pines Golf Course, some belly rubs for the Cricket and just being in that moment created a beautiful mindfulness experience. What is mindfulness? ongoing, moment by moment awareness of and openness to our current experience without judgment and with acceptance.
