Description:
Our inability to adapt to stress causes hypertension, ulcers, gastric disorders, sleep and sexual dysfunction, anxiety, and both endocrine and general central nervous system overload.
Heal the Healer is a "PLaYlab" and offers a grab bag of time-efficient techniques that emphasize self-care, particularly around stress management and burnout. The PLaYlab means just that--an opportunity to spend a few hours experimenting in a safe environment to transform tension into serenity. We can't always remove the stressors in our lives, but we can titrate our reactions to them. We are all caregivers, but often we lose sight of the need for self-care. This PLaYlab offers motivational encouragement, practical and quick interventions, gleaned from Reiki, Cranio-Sacral, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, Theater of the Oppressed, Applied Kinesiology, Yoga and Meditative techniques, to mention just a few. We offer 5-second meditations for the avowed non-meditator; pranayama or yogic breathing cleansings; and other quick transformational techniques for those of us on the fast track. Go to Health! designs these interactive sessions around the needs of the participants.
While there is no formal application, PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Please register on line using the form to your right, or call TOPlab @ (212) 924-1858 (leave an email address) or email toplab@toplab.org.
