Are You Aware?
Are you aware of what your body is telling you at any given moment? What is your breathing telling you? What insight do you have when you find you are enthusiastic or fatigued? What thoughts and belief patterns drive the decisions in your daily encounters? It’s a never-ending, exciting exploration into your life. Your physical intelligence and emotional intelligence are key drivers in having a happy healthy life.
Over the years as a psychotherapist and Trainer, Educator and Practitioner of Psychodrama, Sociodrama and Group Psychotherapy and my background in theatre, I was propelled to find ways to bring expressive self-care skills and tools to many diverse populations. I am absolutely convinced that growing our emotional intelligence is the key to being a compassionate and competent leader first in our own life and then by extension in the relationships we have with others. And by others, I mean our family, friends, teachers, businesses and the relationship we have with our planet.
On this page, I share with you the many talented people who have generously come forward to offer their techniques and practices. Our goal is to encourage self care practices, not just to restore you, but as a way of life. Mindful Awareness is a contemporary way of saying know yourself.
