The essential people/staff/workers who form part of the Foundations of our Society NEED OUR HELP! Teachers and support staff, health and social care staff, the homeless and the staff who are supporting them. Our beloved key workers are literally burning out! Please help us give them a life-line of support. We are providing free health and well-being training with an ongoing mental health support service which is offered all year round. We have been paying for the operational costs ourselves so far which is becoming unsustainable. If you are able to help, please donate whatever you can. In any case, please share this funding project link with as many people as you can. We appreciate all the help we can get!

Thank you!

Giving a life line to essential workers by providing a free well-being and self-care training programme with ongoing mental-health support.

Our society is built upon foundations of education, welfare and healthcare. The people within these sectors must be supported at all costs or our walls will start to fall in on us.

The Foundations of our Society Project aims to support these essential people by running yearly back-to-back well-being education programs of self-healing.

Our self-healing programmes contain the basic tools for positive health and well-being maintenance to ensure lasting levels of enthusiasm and happiness, a growing inner peace, greater levels of energy and mental strength, and a will to persevere through these tough times.

Our system of self-care uses the Āyā Healing Pyramid method which separates out all the natural layers of human health and well-being and applies different practical self-healing techniques to keep each layer healthy.

Self-Healing is not a cure for disease, it is a method of living well. But over the long term, often has the effect of keeping ill-health away.

Āyā Workshop - Self-healing techniques for Health and Social Care workers at Cornwall Council.

Health and Social Care Workers have a very tough job. They run around all day trying to help others. They are giving their energy away to others constantly and the hours are very long, the resources are getting lower and lower and the staff numbers are getting smaller and smaller, which adds to the work load. It is very easy to get exhausted, run down and depleted. The Care worker looks after people, but who is looking after the care worker?

We believe the answer is that Health and Social Care Workers must allow themselves time for self-care and self-healing, and must be given the tools to be able to look after their own wellbeing as a priority. We become far more efficient at helping others if we have allowed ourselves the time to first look after ourselves.

In this workshop, we are offering self-healing techniques in the hope that they will be taken on board and integrated into daily life and we believe that if this happens, the benefits will not only be felt by the care worker, but will also be transferred through to whoever is receiving their care.

All Āyā services are offered for free.

Āyā Academy forms part of the Āyā Education department and contains the full structure of our education system, aimed at all ages. We plan to offer these courses completely free, not only on a private basis but hopefully one day to become part of the mainstream education systems in schools, colleges and Universities.

We believe that it is essential to learn the building blocks of well-being and inner peace, from an early age, as this is what will create a new culture of unconditional love, tolerance, compassion, a sense of community, and peace between us all.

The true essence of who we are is our Awareness. Each individual piece of Awareness in each of us is an aspect of the One Universal Awareness.

There are a couple of slightly corny and overused analogies to describe this however they are very accurate.

You are one wave on the surface of an ocean, you are both the wave and also the ocean.

You are a single flame burning the light of the divine fire. You are both the single flame, and the whole fire.

We are One.

Everything flows from the top of the healing pyramid. If we do not know our true Self, things tend to cascade out of place and cause suffering. If we realise that our true Self is infinite conscious peaceful Awareness (and not the mind or body), then positive health and wellbeing will cascade from the top and everything falls into place.

If we spend as much time as possible in our own inner peaceful Awareness, our psychological layer evens out and we start to produce positive emotions in the emotional layer and therefore less negative emotional energy and less blockages in the bio-energy layer which gives us a much healthier material layer.

This layer encompasses the conscious mind stream (flow of thoughts) as well as the invisible, subconscious aspect of our psychology. Together they create our personality and values.

We often get stuck in a repetitive cycle; the personality is the outcome of a subconscious mass of memories thrown down one on top of the other throughout the course of our lives. The resultant personality actually produces the conscious mind stream in the present moment. The conscious mind stream is influencing how the memories are formed, and the cycle continues. So, if we allow our mind stream to become negative, the personality is likely to spiral into negativity.

The solution is to treat the personality like a house. It is not You, it is just where you live. And we must keep our houses clean. We start cleaning up by becoming AWARE of the MIND STREAM.

The emotions that we feel on a day to day basis can fluctuate wildly with extremes of positive and negative. The negative end of this scale causes us to suffer and many of us tend to repress or bottle up these emotions which compounds the suffering further because it causes energy blockages (trapped emotional energy and memory).

It is possible to minimise the negative and increase the positive through a combination of emotional meditation, breath-work, karma-emotion work and meditative self-enquiry, along with attending to the other layers of the pyramid which all have an effect on our emotional cycle - Repetitive thought patterns - Emotional energy - Emotional reaction - Energy blockage - Repeat - Repeat.

The Bio-Energy Layer of the AYA Healing Pyramid refers to all the different types of magnetic fields that are intertwined with and support the material body. These fields are part of our biological anatomy and have a tremendous impact on our physical and mental health and well-being.

The way to keep this layer healthy is through Energy-Breath work, that is, breathing exercises, of which there are a great many of different types to choose from (pranayama yoga). Even just 5 minutes a day can create a huge improvement in how you feel.

The Material Body Layer is the bottom layer of the pyramid and it refers to the material/physical body that we know so well. We use the word material because it is made of matter, that is, atoms and molecules.

Symptoms of ill health are often first seen in the material body however the cause may well lie much further up the pyramid due to the downward cascading effect of health and wellbeing.

The way to keep the material body healthy is through nutrition and physical exercise, as well as attending to the layers in the pyramid that lie above it.
