Holistic way to help Anxiety, depression, PTSD/Trauma, and Stress

This training is for anyone who would like to use holistic ways in dealing with common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and stress. This training will emphasize the following techniques and practices:

• Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping) – EFT is using acupuncture points with your fingers to help relax the central nervous system

• Meditation –mantra-based meditation helps the mind from racing, keeps one present, and calms the central nervous system

• Pranayama (breath) – there are three different breathing techniques to help simply relax the sympathetic nervous system

• Chakra’s – understand what chakras are and how they can be used to identify issues within the body

• Affirmations – using affirmations to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts

• Body Positivity and how you view your own body

• Self-Compassion-how to have it and how to keep it

 

Welcome & Introduction

Introduction

Welcome to the Mental Health Toolbox! I'm Cindy Beers and I welcome you! This video is just a short introduction on what you'll be learning in this course.

A little bit about me: Cindy Beers creates a place for people of all ages and body types to practice yoga and meditation in a safe, inviting, and authentic environment. Students experience a class which is tailored to the students’ ability, sprinkled with compassion and a touch of laughter that leaves them feeling content and at peace. Cindy’s teachings are informed from her extensive training and life experiences. She spent 18 years in the US Armed Forces and therefore has a special understanding for teaching yoga to veterans, teens, and adults living with anxiety and trauma. Cindy’s work with anxiety culminated in her recently published books, “Mindful Yoga for Teen Anxiety” and “Mindful Yoga for Adult Anxiety.” Cindy created the professional development training of “Yoga for Mental Health.” She is currently working on her next books, “Yoga for Mental Health” and “The Mental Health Toolbox.”

After having experienced a near death episode, Cindy views life as a gift and unabashedly lives it with zest, love and quirkiness.
