Mental Health n wellness

Was delighted to be a part of this very engaging discussion yesterday evening though for a short period of time 💜❤️

the need arises for mental healthcare with the fact that our culture and population is becoming more and more oriented towards nuclear family culture and joint family structures and cultures are ceasing to exist … So the people at home who are extra sensitive and extra emotional need to pour out their angsts and worries and share their pain with someone who understands them without judging them . And this factor is becoming rarer and rarer …

Thereby people repress or suppress their thoughts or emotions resulting into anxiety and depression. Also results into migraine or frequent headaches . The mental illness is a phenomenon that needs to be addressed with kindness and compassion and empathy .

Conversations were very enriching – catch up on Twitter using #bac68#mentalhealthcarematters

‘Becoming’ that Buddha

Wat Pho – Thailand , Temple of reclining Buddha

In Life there are areas where you feel stuck , isnt it ?

And nothing seems to create a shift for you? So how do we bring awareness to those areas?

By ‘Becoming’

By becoming the observer of your own feelings you will come to a greater understanding of yourself and be better able to let things go as negative emotions release their grip on you.

How to become an Observer?
I first came across the notion of being an observer in ‘Thresholds of the Mind’ by Bill Harris. Bill calls it, Finding the Witness.
The idea is that part of you observes what is happening even as it happens. When you observe in this way you feel as if you are standing outside yourself and observing how you’re feeling, what you are doing, and how you’re interacting with your environment.

You learn incredible amounts about yourself by doing this and after a really short space of time you begin to have a greater understanding of your emotions. This gives you a choice to respond better to your emotions.
