Flight, Fright or Fight

Two powerful teachable moments yesterday in two separate workshops:

Movement:
  • shoulders response to flight, fright or fight
Communication:
  • hesitating to speak honestly on speculation of the other persons fear reaction and pointing out what is actually stopping one from being honest is their own fear?

Have you taken your #yyj Nature Break today?

To cut through resistance with a student, I suggested we transition our session to one of my local favorite hangouts, “Finnerty Gardens,” at the University of Victoria.

Strolling through a combination of forest and tames beds and lawns, I noticed the difference between being restful and at peace in this type of  environment and one that is nervous with a racing mind.  After investigating the landscape for a time we sat on a bench to integrate and continue our session.  Long periods of comfortable silence encouraged  a deeper opening and sharing.  Simple and transitional!

Nature, our healing partners!

ONE BIG AHA AFTER 10 YEARS

The meaning of environment!  What began as an understanding that the environment was far from our center has transitioned to understanding the influence of our environment to have a much closer relationship.  It is much closer inward than the planet, the earth, the sun, sky, air, etc. It is much closer than our property, home and individuals rooms in our house.  It is also includes the clothes we wear, the jewelry we put on and the make up we apply. It is also includes our posture.  It is our pattern of how we hold our bodies upright.  (How we hold our bodies upright creates an environment that we are stimulated by and react to!)    It is the food that we eat!  (The food we consume creates an environment that we react to and are stimulated by!)

Wellness & Healing Retreats with Renee Lindstrom: Mindful Eating

A focus of retreats is to slow down, stop and pause to connect to simple, beautiful foods. Loosing convenience foods and taking time to become mindful of the food and drink being consumed improves a sense of well-being and purpose!   Food looks better and tastes better!

  • Mornings began with Home Grown Rosemary Apple Cider Vinegar in water
  • Menu’s included Garden Veggies, Edible Weeds & Flower  and Herbs

Comments after going home,  “I miss the food!”


Book your retreat and take time out for personal healing and self-esteem building!
