In the midst of fulfilling daily tasks and adjusting to the new norms, it is easy for us to get caught up in reactivity - i.e. living on autopilot, engaging in self-judgment or criticism and/or blaming others. 💡 WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS WORKSHOP? 💡Combining meditation, reflection and exercises from Kristin Neff, Tara Brach and Louise Hay, this workshop will include:✅ A guided #Meditation on Nurturing Seeds of Safety✅ #Mirrorwork + #Affirmations✅ Sharing on the Yin and Yang of Self Compassion✅ Understanding the roles and objectives of the #InnerCritic and #InnerNurturer✅ Self-soothing body #Movements💛 BENEFITS OF PRACTISING SELF-COMPASSION 💛Research shows that self-criticism is associated with increased stress, fear of failure, and avoidant behaviours. Stress can affect our health; and result in chronic pain or illnesses. One way of managing stress is by practising self compassion. Self compassion is a way of relating to ourselves, especially in challenging times. It essentially means treating ourselves with the same kindness and acceptance that we may already be extending to others; and accepting our own strengths and imperfections equally. Self compassion is a skill that can be cultivated and strengthened through practice. Studies suggests that a compassionate lifestyle leads to greater psychological well-being. Those of us who are able to be more accepting of our shortcomings tend to have: 💡 a greater sense of competence💡 a lesser chance of procrastination-related stress💡 higher reported levels of optimism, motivation and resilience💡 reduced feelings of isolation or disconnection____________________________________________ 💛 WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP DESIGNED FOR? 💛This Self Compassion Series Workshop is designed for those who are seeking to:✅ Explore new insights and perspectives to practise cultivating #SelfCompassion✅ Strengthen your practice in #Mindfulness and #Compassion ✅ Shift #Mindset from self-criticism / judgment / blaming to #Abundance and #Motivation✅ Develop habits to build #Resilience towards stress, strengthen immune response, maintain #EmotionalBalance and reduce reactive anger✅ Meet #LikeMinded people who prioritise self care and well-being_____________________________________________ 💛 EVENT DETAILS 💛 Date: 19th July, Sunday (GMT+8)Time: 3.30pm - 6.00pm (2.5 hours)Venue: Zoom SELF INVESTMENT:💡 FEE: RM60 per person💡 EARLY BIRD RATE: RM50 per person (before 13 July)💡 RM48 to participants who attended the 'Letter to Myself' workshop in May💡 BY DONATION for participants who have attended this workshop on 5.07.2020 Payment can be made either via:-Bank transfer (Public Bank account - Pan Vic Qi 4561609225); or-Paypal (https://www.paypal.me/reconnectandrecharge ) 🔆RSVP with Vic at +60165931762 or DM us for Prep Notes + Zoom Link.🔆____________________________________________ 💛 ABOUT YOUR FACILITATORS 💛 🌸 VIC QI MERA 🌸Vic Qi is one who has great love for mountains, animals, adventures, mysteries and chocolates.

And the visuals were amazing. So thank you girls for working so hard to put this together. It's phenomenal. And you really are very authentic and genuine. - Dianna LaneI enjoyed today's workshop. Inner critic is something which I struggled a lot from childhood to now. Thankfully w spiritual practice, I'm learning to reprogram my mind. The step 4 reflection in your workshop gave me a new aha moment 😉- Kathleen PoonThe experience I have with the letter to myself was a refreshing experience. I was writing in journal but it was with reference to another person. To write a letter with compassion, was harder because you hold back criticism about your own and try to see the best in yourself. It feels like you are lying at first. But if you re-read your letter, you began to see perhaps, you are the way you describe... - Rachel Brooke I didn’t get the chance to talk about the positive points but it’s a job well done! Congratulations for putting them together! I would say it's a good job because I wanted to do the exercise for 2 years and didn't get a chance to try it, I thought there is real there because it did changed me so keep it up. - AnonymousThe activity gave me insight that I haven't been that compassionate towards my well-being as much as I would like to believe that I was. I ended up being a bit emotional after reading the letter again as a receiver rather than the writer and clearly shows how easily we can give compassion towards other people but rarely on ourselves. I will try to keep an active reminder to put myself first from time to time. - Adrissa Adam_______________________Sound good to you? We can't wait to practise self compassion with you.
