Small Changes, Massive difference!
So many men that I have worked with are really inspired by the massive difference a few small changes in attitude and personal practise can make. They often arrive skeptical that any of the simple and unusual techniques can really work. Some are so stressed, anxious and mentally exhausted that they are willing to try anything. In one five minute exercise they are already making huge shifts in their mental and physical wellbeing. This inevitably improves how they feel.
How they do it…
In a two and a half hour session, the men learn how stress shows up for them mentally, physically and emotionally. They learn to recognise where they hold tension, how to release the tension in their body and how, when they let it go, this makes a fundamental difference to the way they feel and therefore the way they behave. They learn how to relax (which is no menan feat in prison) and to trust me and my programme enough to close their eyes and follow the meditaion or visualisation I facilitate. The most remarkable transformations are when the men embrace the techniques wholehearteldy and pracitse each day in their cell.
What they say…
When the men open their eyes after deep relaxation and meditation, they are astounded at the words that pour out of their mouth. Week after week I am privileged to witness the miracle that ocurs within the confines of the prison walls. They describe how they feel as…
relaxed, calm. peaceful, open, light, relieved, soft, happy and free. Yes FREE! Almost without exception, every week, at least one man will describe himself as free. This is the power of the techniques I teach.
