"The future of behavioural health lies not in choosing between traditional therapy and innovative approaches, but in understanding how they can work synergistically....

It's waiting in the space where your mind, body, and nervous system can finally work together as the integrated system they were designed to be." ~Josh Dickson

After years of working in behavioural health, I've witnessed countless individuals reach what feels like an impenetrable wall in their healing journey. They've done the work, attended sessions religiously, and implemented every technique their therapist suggested.

🧘‍♀️ Grief Yoga with Paul Denniston

I got a brief intro to his work at a recent Grief Summit. He has a couple of free intro courses on his site griefyoga.com & includes a free experiential course with the purchase of his book.

I enjoyed the intro so much that I immediately bought the book. It looks like it'll be a great resource! I can't wait to dive into it & the course work. I excited to see the creative expression inspired by some of these movements!

I've been playing with a meditation & visual journaling ideas around heart walls. I think i was originally introduced to the concept of heart walls from the Emotion Code.

I like to explore in different mediums to have for reference. Sometimes visual examples are helpful for grasping a concept for exploration.

I approached one by weaving washi tapes that evoked feelings of protection. Something about the weaving process resonated for building out the walls of protection. The other turned into a neurographica style image with elemental imagery & symbolism emerging. Things like collage & washi tape can be a helpful assist to easing into creative expression.

Botanical prints with alcohol ink. A theme in some sessions recently has been finding flow. We experiment with different art mediums to see which helps us tap in to a more embodied feeling of flow.
