Friends With Your Mind Calgary Workshop

I am very much looking forward to Friends With Your Mind workshop at the Yoga Studio next weekend. This is a time to open into and deeply resolve the obstacles to being friends with our own mind.

The workshop structure is a mixture of information, guided practice, discussion and inquiry. Questions and observations are welcome! You may want to bring a journal with you to note insights for further inquiry.

We will work with these (emphasizing what people in the class are most interested in):

Thoughts (words and images) and sensations in our body, how the mind works

Anxiety, fear, calming catastrophic intrusive thoughts

Brain science basics, negativity bias, survival level threats, how the brain develops in response to experience

Emotions, staying with our feelings

Mining Sensation: the tipping point when we realize energy in our body is not here to hurt us

Core Deficiency Beliefs

“Lynn is unwavering in her dedication and commitment to healing the nervous system using her unique blend of body-mind practices and insightful inquiry. She humbly exhibits extensive knowledge, understanding and wisdom related to trauma. What mostly calls me to work with her, however, is because I trust her. Over the past year during group and individual online sessions her warm and compassionate presence and supportive listening style has encouraged me to vulnerably risk continuing on the healing journey, build nervous system resilience and develop greater levels of joy in my life.” ~ Alyson Adashko Raskin, Ph.D, School Psychologist, Neurogenic Yoga and TRE (Tension and Trauma Release) provider, Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist, Life Coach

“I realized during these practices that I cannot tolerate silence when with other people. I feel I have to start jabbering away to fill in the empty space. Upon meditating about this, what came up for me was when my parents were fighting (often) and yelling at each other, what followed was silence (sometimes for days and days) which as a child was very threatening to me. I have sat with this realization several times and come to the understanding that silence can be safe, comfortable and non-threatening. I totally enjoy listening to others conversations and have resisted the urge to fill in the silent spaces. I am learning so very much from our daily practices and your workshops. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate and thank you for your wise knowledge, honesty and the kindness and patience you show us.” W.
